George Kilmer arrived in New York, New York in 1710 on the ship "Globe". He was born on 15 January 1670 in Atengronau, Hessen, Germany. He died in Red Hook, Dutchess County, New York in 1715. He had married Anna Eva Margaretha Scheicker. He is the founder of the Hudson Valley Kilmers.
1) On The Hunter Lists he shows initially on 4 July 1710 as Georg Kuhlmann with two persons over 10 years of age and 3 persons under ten. On 4 August 1710, they listed for him four Persons over 10 and three under ten years. In 1712, there were six persons over ten and one under ten.
2) When naturalized, according to the Albany Naturalization Records, he shows as Jurich Kelmer.
3) Jury Kolemer with his wife and children was on the roll of the Independent Company of the Manor of Livingston on 30 November 1715 (per Report of the State History Vol. 1, Page 523).
4) Georg Colmer with his wife and children was at Hessica c 1716/17 per the Livingston Papers.
5)Jury Coelmer/Coolmer was a Palatine Debtor in 1718, 1719, and 1726, listed in the Livingston Debt Lists.
6) His wife was called Anna Margaretha in 1720 in the New York City Lutheran Church Book.
7) She was called Eva Margaretha in 1728 both in the West Camp Lutheran Church Book and the New York City Lutheran Church Book.
The children of Georg Kuhlmann/Kilmer were: 1) Elisabetha who married Johann Wilhelm Kuhn,
2) Simon, recorded as Simon Coolmer, a Palantine Debtor in 1726, who married Elisabetha Funck, 3) Johannes who married Anna Veronica Becker, 4) Phillip who married first Anna Margaretha Stiever (Stuber) and probably second Eva ____ who then (as Loyalists) emigrated to Elgin County, Canada, 5) Georg who married on 9 Feb 1738 Anna Margaretha Falckenberger in Lunenburg, 6) Abraham who married Anna Eva Laucks,
7) Anna Barbara born on 5 May Dec 1720 at Camp and married Phillip Speichermann, 8) Catharina who married David Stiver,
9) Johanna Wilhelm baptized 7 weeks old on 28 Nov 1725 and married Johann Wilhelm Kunz in West Camp Lutheran Church,
10) Henrich was baptized at Kamp on 5 May 1728 whose sponsors were Winter and Liesabeth Kilmer in New York City.
By 1710, more than 3,000 Palatines settled in the Hudson Valley of New York primarily because of economic pressure, the majority being Lutheran or German Reformed. They were "redemptioners", who unlike indentured servants were bound to repay a certain amount of debt to the British crown. Many did not like the treatment they received there with cruelty and supplies and wages being withheld. It seems that the crown's managers were pressed to bring in money when the original purpose of making tar for the Navy proved to not be appropriate for this locale. Some children were bound out till the age of 21 to increase revenue. The local Indians help them with clothes and food. Livingston Manor was 6000 acres on the east side of the Hudson River purchased by Robert Hunter, a manager for the crown, from Robert Livingston. "The Camp" later became Germantown. The Palatines had been recruited on the mainland after Louis XIV withdrew the 87-year-old Edict of Nantes, giving religious freedom. Palantine means "serving at the pleasure of the Prince". A massive exit followed to Holland or England. England had just declared itself to be Protestant. The queen offered free passage to England where 40,000 were accommodated in a refugee camp near London. Collections in Protestant Churches went to support them. A plan was formed to send them as workers to the English colonies in America where it was hoped that tar and turpentine could be produced for the Navy. On Christmas of 1709, the queen's group of ten ships embarked for America. Formerly these products were bought from Sweden, Norway, and Russia. Charity became "lost in the translation". By 1711, seven Palatine villages had been established on the Livingston Manor, and the crown had spent over 100,000 ponds on the settlement project. The anger at the odious, unfair, and inhumane treatment later helped fuel the American Revolution.
