Individual Details
Magdalena Newcomer
(10 Nov 1715 - )
Magdalena's father was Johannes Newcomer--who came to America in 1728 aboard the Mortonhouse, according to Gary Shaw. In line with this view is the fact that Magdalena is not listed as a passenger on the 1717 ship that brought Peter Newcomer to Philadelphia.
