In 1762, 'upward of six hundred German emigrants, men, women, and
children, consisting of Wurtzburghers and Palatines, all Protestants,
who were brought here by one Colonel Stumpel, with a promise to be
immediately settled in America,' were landed in England, and charitably
aided to go to South Carolina. In 1766, I read of Florida, 'the
principal town is Pensacola, and as many of the French, who inhabited
here before the treaty, have chose to become British subjects for the
sake of keeping their estates,' that more foreigners were added to the
Southern colonies.

Mr. Pickett, whose history of Alabama was published at Charleston, S.
C., in 1851, adds, 'a company of forty Jews, acting under the broad
principle of the charter, which gave freedom to all religions, save that
of the Romish Church, landed at Savannah. Much dissatisfaction, both in
England and America, arose in consequence of these Israelites, and
Oglethorpe was solicited to send them immediately from the colony. He,
however, generously permitted them to remain, which was one of the
wisest acts of his life, for they and their descendants were highly
instrumental in developing the commercial resources of this wild land.'
'The colony of Georgia had prospered under the wise guidance of
Oglethorpe. The colonists, being from different nations, were various in
their characters and religious creeds. Vaudois, Swiss, Piedmontese,
Germans, Moravians, Jews from Portugal, Highlanders, English, and
Italians were thrown together in this fine climate, new world, and new
home.'

Even Virginia was not entirely English. Barber's account of the State
(p. 451) says of the valley of the Shenandoah:

'The eastern part of the valley being conveniently situated for
emigrants from Pennsylvania, as well as from lower Virginia, the
population there came to be a mixture of English Virginians and
German and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. The German Pennsylvanians,
being passionate lovers of fat lands, no sooner heard of the rich
valleys of the Shenando and its branches, than they began to join
their countrymen from Europe in pouring themselves forth over the
country above Winchester. Finding the main Shenando mostly
preoccupied, they followed up the north and south branches on both
sides of the Massanutten, or Peaked Mountain, until they filled up
all the beautiful vales of the country for the space of sixty
