The STRUNK Family
About 1750 a brother and sister, Henry and Katherine STRUNK landed in the city of New York. They probably came from Lippe Detmold, in the north of Germany, as there are families still residing there of that name. They were poor, and, as was customary, their labor was sold for a series of years to pay for their passage to this country. Henry was sold for 5 and Katherine for 3 years.
Henry, after regaining his freedom, married (*Anna Elizabeth HARWISCH born ca 1734, died ca 3/17/1791 NY)
in Albany and settled 8 miles east of Troy NY, where he suffered all the ravages and privations, induced by the British soldiery during the Revolutionary War. Notwithstanding the changes and vicissitudes of an eventful life, he raised a large family and became moderately wealthy, and lived to a ripe old age, leaving 10 children, the last of whom was born 1775. Of these, the 4th, Elsie, the 7th Jacob, and the 8th John, emigrated to the town of Ellicott, and settled as hereafter stated.
