  John Leonard Schloepp, and John Maar both natives of M[ark]t. Taschendorf, a borough in the Franconian circle of the German empire, appertaining to the Bailiwik Obersteinbach, of the Baron Kunsberg, having set out for America in the year 1766. -- The former, viz. Schloepp has long ago given notice to his parents by a letter of the 16th June 1774, of his being employed as Cooper in a potash-fabric at New-York; but since that time no intelligence has been got neither of him nor of Maar. Now, as the abovementioned Schloepp has still to get two hundred florins, Frankish, the value of his paternal hereditary portion; and John Maar, forty florins Rhenish, for a sold piece of field; both of them or their lawful heirs, are hereby, in consequence of an issued seigneurial command, edietiter and peremptorily cited, namely, the former to give to this here Bailiwick, within the space of a year, consequently till to the the end of February 1792, Certificates of their being in life, and of their abodes, and no less for to strengthen their good proofs, to mention who have been their parents and relations, and who of them have still been alive, before their setting out for America; but the latter, to legitimate themselves duly and sufficiently, within the fixed term, else they may expect that the mentioned 200 florins fr. and forty florins rh. will be delivered to their next relations in this country, without interest against caution. But, in case Schloepp and Maar, should be no more in life, nor have left any lawful heirs, we are hereby to require decently those courts of justice, or common councils, which can give us certified intelligence about them, that they may be pleased to impart it to this here Bailwick upon acquittance of the expenses, and to deliver it to the Post-Office of New-York. Obersteinbach the 28th February 1791. Bailiwik of the Barons Kunsberg therself.

  Leonard Slipp was born in Amsterdam, Holland in 1746. His mother died and his father married again; not getting along any too well with his step-mother, he walked to the sea coast with the intentions of emigrating to America. On his way to the sea shore he got pepper in his wooden shoes, thus verifying his step-mother's wish that he should get enough pepper some day. He signed articles with a sea captain to serve three years, on the condition that at the end of that time the captain should land him in New York, and the captain being about to depart on a long voyage, he allowed Slipp to have his indenture transferred to a potash maker in New York, with whom he worked out the remaining six months. While there he was noted for great strength of body, could do what only two others out of a hundred men could do, i.e. place three barrels of potash one on top of the other (1767). Leonard Slipp started a tavern in 1769, and made a large amount of money in a short time. In 1772 Leonard Slipp married Miss Catherine Ryson. Two daughters: Katherine (Mrs Elisha Clark) and Lanah (Mrs. Abraham Good) and perhaps John was born here. At the time of the American Revolution, Slipp remained loyal to the Mother Country, and was driven out, losing his property, and came to New Brunswick on the ship Spencer.
