NOTE: WURTTEMBERG, DURLACH, GERMANY WHICH IS SOUTH DOWN THE RHINE RIVER FROM DANNSTADT,(ALSO IN THE PALATINATE SECTION), LUDWIGSHAFEN, GERMANY A SHORT DISTANCE. THEY MOST LIKELY CAUGHT A BOAT HEADED UP THE RHINE FROM WURTTEMBERG. THE TRIP THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO MAKE WAS UP THE RHINE TO ROTTERDAM IN SMALL BOATS WHICH WAS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT JOURNEY USUALLY TAKING 6 TO 8 WEEKS IN VERY CRAMPED AND UNSANITARY CONDITIONS. FOOD AND WATER SHORTAGES WERE VERY COMMON. THEN BOARDING THE SHIP "LYDIA" IN ROTTERDAM, WITH THE LAST PORT OF CALL BEING COWES, ENGLAND, A PORT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT THEN TO PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

ACCORDING TO BIRTH DATE PROVIDED BY GARY D. CLICK OF 23 MAR 1740/41, THIS WOULD HAVE MADE LEWIS ABOUT 8 OR 9 YEARS OLD WHEN HE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES.

REF: MANUSCRIPT OF MAE TWITCHELL - Letter dated 14 June 1972 from Mrs. Paris Hall, Route 2, Newport, Tennessee 37821, states a "family legend":
"Lewis Click came from Germany with two brothers, names unknown. Lewis Click was 19 at that time and fought in the Revolutionary War in 1776 with his two brothers, Lewis Click making and molding bullets". NOTE BY CAROLYN WHITAKER - After examining the records and the brief of Gary D. Click and David Carnahan in 1991, the above family legend would seem to warrant some note. It is possible the age was possibly "9" and not "19" as stated in the legend, which would be an accurate age for his arrival in the United States with his parents.

The next issue involved in the manuscript makes this note: taken from the book "Across the Years" by Joseph Paul Glick - "The personal property tax records of Shenandoah County, Virginia for the years 1782 - 1784 give the name of one LEWIS GLICK with personal property including horses and cattle. No land, however, was listed in his name. It would appear that he was a young man operating a farm with considerable property, but his name does not appear AFTER 1784. (IN THE ORPHAN COURT RECORDS OF LANCASTER CO. PA - he lists Lewis Click's sister moving to Virginia which would establish family already living in Virginia at this time)

The 1787 Tax List of Washington County, now in the private collection of Mr. Paul M. Fink of Jonesboro, Tennessee, shows Lewis Click as paying tax on 200 acres of land and paying two white poll taxes. He continued paying a poll tax every year until 1793, after which he paid tax only on the 200 acres; he did not pay a poll tax after 1793. No one over the age of 50 years was required to pay a poll tax; therefore, we can speculate that Lewis Click became about 50 years of age in 1793, and thus we can conclude he was probably born circa 1743. (This would make a close match with the birth date of our Lewis according to records Gary D. Click found in Germany)

John Spurgeon - FRANCIS CLICK, 100 acres, was duly proven by the oath of JAMES HILL and the same is ordered to be registered. (NOTE BY CAROLYN WHITAKER: Could this be a son of Lewis that we might be missing? There is an age gap between Peter and George Lewis. If we speculate that Francis was at least 21 years of age at this transaction that would make him born approximately 1768. Could the Matthew Click above be his son? We do have a Matthew Click, son of Samuel Click, his father Malachi Click. This would establish reason for Malachi & Martin to be in Greene Co in the first place.
