Kurlis, of te well-known Kurlis family in Waldniel, had
Peter Kurlis had Johann and Metgan amg children
Henrich Kurlis had Johann and Metgan.

They went to Germantown. "In 1695, Peter was called into the Court
of Germantown, but did not appear. He later answered that his reason
was that he had much work to do. He was asked why he refused to lodge
travelers and answered that he only intended to sell drink, not to
keep an ordinary. Then he was asked why he sold barley-malt beer at
4d a quart, against the law of the province. He asnwered that he did
not know of such a law. Next he was questioned why he did not obey
the law of Germantown Corporation, which forbids the sale of more than
a gill of rum or a quart of beer every half day to each individual.
His answer was that they being able to bear more, he could or would not
obey any such law."
"The Court determined that if Peter would not get a license and obey
the laws both of the province and of Germantown, he should not sell
anymore drink. Peter replied that he should first be allowed to use
the malt that he had, but the Bailiff told him, no, that henceforth
he should sell no more drink on penalty of a 5L fine. The court
then adjourned.
"Peter was back in court in 1695 when it was decided that Humphry
Edwards should pay him 7d for his breakfast. In 1701 Peter promised
in open court to keep a good and regular ordinary in this town,
whereof the Court does allow." (White, p 64).
Peter gave the bond to collect taxes for the governor in 1701/2 and
his books were reviewed by Aret Kinken and John Conrad Cotueis in 1702.

Came to Germantown 1683 with original Krefeld colonists.
