Jacob Rudolph *1746, Vorderösterreich

[Franz J. Schuette]

We are looking for
1. Jacob Rudolph, *1746, carpenter, emigrated from Hamburg to Philadelphia in 1796 with his family: his wife Ann Mary and five children: Mary Catherine, Christian, Abraham, Mary Ann and Francis. All names are given in the passenger directory in anglicized form.
2. Leopold Rudolph, *probably on August 15, 1772, emigrated from Hamburg to Philadelphia in 1803 with his family: his wife Anna Catharina (Catheriny) and four children: Anna Elisabeth, Caspar (John Casper I), Anna Maria and Maria Catharina.
Da die Auswanderungsjahre mit dem Beginn der Napoleonischen Kriege zusammenfällt vermute ich einen Wohnort, der bei Truppendurchzügen regelmäßig verwüstet wurde. Auf jeden Fall stammen die Rudolph aus Vorderösterreich.
Kann mir jemand helfen?
Danke Franz Schütte

In the 1810 US Census, a L. Rudolph is in Kershaw, South Carolina.
