---------------------------------------
SPIESS, Conrad and Ludwig, ln the week of Whitsuntide, 1749, Conradt Spiess, with his wife and 5 children, left Essenheim for Pennsylvania. No births could be found for his children. It seems that the family came to Essenheim from Homburg v. d. Höhe. A Ludwig Spiess, obviously of the same family, was married to Anna Margaretha Wagner, “daughter of the old clerk of court,” and went to Pennsylvania at the same time as Conrad. Dr. Krebs says the records indicate that Ludwig and Anna were “coupled at Ehendenschantz (?) in the Netherlands.” Conradt Spies arrived on the ship Isaac, 27 Sept. 1749 (S-H I, 415). Dr. Gerberich’s records show that a Ludwig Spies was naturalized at York in 1768. He lived in Springettbury Twp. (see PA-3, I, 120). Ludwig may have come in 1754-5, a few years later than Conrad. Ludwig Spiess (also called Lewis Spees) is shown in Dover Twp., York Co. tax lists for 1780, 1781, and 1783 (PA-3. XXI, 202, 461, 689).
