Between 1717 and 1725, others arrived from the Kraichgau. Some were related to
the 1717 arrivals. Some were neighbors in Germany of the 1717 arrivals. Others could
have been here since 1717, but were either too young to be listed in 1717, or escaped
official notice in the records. Some who were traveling with the first wave in 1717 were
left behind in England to wait for the next ship. Whatever the reason for not being listed,
some went to the Robinson River Valley at the same time as the earlier group and
patented land in the same time period, while others stayed on their 1717 land near the
Village of York, which is now known as Stevensburg.
