courtesy of BONNIE J. EVERHART in North Carolina Newly discovered information connects our GIE�EMANN immigrants to their German parents and homeland. The immigrant ancestors of these many, varied surnames were brothers, Johann "George" GIE�EMANN/GIESSEMAN/G�SSEMAN and Johann George "William" GIE�MANN/GIESSEMANN/G�SSEMAN. They were sons of Clemenz GIE�EMANN and Anna Maria STAPFER/STAFFER of the area of R�digheim, Germany. The brothers arrived at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the snow "Molly" on October 26, 1741, having left Rotterdam. The surname is spelled "G�sseman" on that document. "Clifford Neal Smith in his German-American Genealogical Monograph No. 6, Emigrants from the Principality of Hessen-Hanau, Germany, 1741-1767, quotes from manuscripts in the Staatsarchiv Marburg, Germany in a large bound register of the Geheimer Rat (Privy Council) containing information on 'subjects who have from time to time applied for emigration': page 3 includes 'Clemens Gieseman and Stephan R�b of R�digheim...destination: Carolina, year 1741'."
