Bruce E. Logan Jr. -Van Bibber Pioneers E-Newsletter, Vol 1, No_ 1.htm
The Van Bibbers were residents of Krefeld (now Germany) and had been persecuted in Europe because they were followers of Menno Simons.
Other Mennonites from Krefeld had come to Philadelphia in 1684 at the invitation of William Penn including Herman op den Graff, who was the husband of two of the sisters of Isaacs Jacob. Isaacs Jacob Van Bibber moved to Germantown (now a suburb of Philadelphia) and was engaged in commerce.
--------
Boarded the English schooner "Concord" at Rotterdam on 24 July 1683, bounded for Philadelphia. Although the voyage was long, lasting 74 days, it was a relatively comfortable one with little illness among the passengers, no deaths, and two births.
Arriving in Philadelphia on 6 October 1683, the family proceeded with twelve other Mennonite families to a place 6 miles north of Philadelphia. This was to become Germantown where the brothers settled on adjoining lots, set up their Krefeld trade of linen weaving and proceeded to participate in public and religious affairs. The Up de Graeff brothers were largely responsible for making Germantown famous for "very fine German Linen, such as no person of Quality need be ashamed to wear." Although followers of the Mennonite faith, they affiliated with the Germantown Quakers.
...
letter written in Dutch, dated 12 February 1684, Herman2 describes his voyage to America and some account of the infant Philadelphia as follows:
"We sailed from England to America in six weeks. The blessings of the Lord did attend us so that we had a wonderfully prosperous voyage. Upon our whole voyage we did not experience as much inconvenience as between Holland and England..... Our number did not decrease upon the ocean, but was increased by two, a son and a daughter. The mothers were easy in labor and were soon well again." The land is described, with its allotments, trees and timber, grape-vines, pasturage, cattle and pigs; also "our city of Germantown," with its rivers and valleys. "The Indians show themselves very kind and friendly, and we live together with them very quiet and peaceable. We travel day and night through the forest without the least fear of them. Most of us have already our own habitations, and every day more good houses are being built, all of which pleases us greatly....We have begun to spin flax."
