Mathias Hook
I have a little more information about Mathias Hook who came from Europe. He came from Bavaria, Germany, and traveled on the immigration ship called Snow Betsie (Bettsey). There were 2 spellings used for the name of this ship. It left from Rotterdam, Holland, on Aug. 27, 1739, then went to Deal, England, and from there arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I will try to do some research on this to verify it, but if you get a chance before me, then let me know what you find out. I got this info from talking with my aunt yesterday. I was also told that he fought in the Revolutionary War.
