Individual:
Philip apprenticed as a shoemaker in an adjoining village. He married there and his wife bore four daughters. After her death he returned to Nack and married Christina. He and Christina had four children and in November 1831 they, with all eight children, immigrated. From the Port of New York, they took the immigrant road called the 'Hudson River Trail' to Albany, and then the 'Mohawk Trail' to Buffalo where they wintered. In the spring of 1832 they sailed Lake Erie to Huron, Ohio and traveled the final miles to Venice Twp., Seneca, OH in a wagon. In February 1834 Philip entered his claim for 80 acres of land. He cleared it, built a log cabin, and made its furniture. The cabin stood for over 150 years and was finally torn down in 1994. Philip was also one of the founders of the Catholic Church in St. Stephen.
Philip became an American citizen in July 1842. He filed for naturalization in Bucyrus, Crawford, OH rather than Seneca because '...die Strassen sind besser' (the roads are better). Philip died in the spring of 1849 while building a house to replace his rough cabin. When Christina and the children moved into the house, a walnut corner cabinet made by Philip was left in the cabin. Later it was restored by Philip's great grandson, Victor and his wife Edna.
