The following are the known Leistadt emigrants who arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Harle in 1736. There may have been others who left Leistadt but died or changed their minds and did not sail on the Harle. The ship’s list does not include the names of the children, so we do not know how many of the children survived the journey. The names of the children given here are the ones who were still alive when their parents left Leistadt.

Valentin Vogt and his wife Maria Catharina[1]
[1] Maria Catharina does not appear on the list of Harle passengers. It is possible she died on the voyage. Edward N. Wevodau points out that there is also a Matthias Vogt on the Harle who appears next to Valentin on some of the passenger lists. This Matthias has not been identified, but it seems likely that he is related to Valentin.
