Thones was one of the first 13 German families to come to America aboard the "Concord" in 1683 and establish Germantown, PA (now a portion of Philadelphia). He and the other passengers were Quakers and Mennonites, escaping persecution in Germany. Very soon after the arrival of this little band, the first Friends meeting in Germantown was held in the house of Thones Kunders, and likely was continued there until the first meeting-house was built in 1686. It was in Thones Kunders' House that the first Anti-Slavery document in America was written in 1688. It proved too controversial for even the Quakers to approve at their monthly and yearly meetings.
