*'''German "Palatines"''' came in 1709/10 to the '''upper Hudson Valley, near present-day Germantown, Columbia County'''. Many had been lured to America after reading the "Golden Book," published by British authorities, to promote the colonization of America. After arriving in New York and working in the tar and naval stores industries to pay off their passage, they found themselves landless, and in an undeveloped wilderness. The British failed to keep their promise to grant each immigrant 40 acres of land for emigrating. Many ventured to the unsettled '''Schoharie Valley backcountry''' and purchased land from Indians. They established seven villages. <ref>Henry Z.
