According to this book:
Johannes Cassel came to America with his brother Yelles in the ship Friendship from Rotterdam on the 16th of October 1727 with his brother Yelles. He settled in Lancaster County, PA in the vicinity of Columbia. There were three brothers who were grandsons of Yelles, the Preacher at Kriesheim. They all came from Kriesheim. As far as the author knows they were Mennonite
From the same source: Johannes Cassel, Born 1639, and his wifeMary, came to America in the ship “Jefries and landed at Philadelphia Nov 20 1686.He came with children. He was 47. He was a weaver by trade. He settled at Germantown in the County of Philadelphia.
There is a third brother also found in America and he may have already been in Germantown in PA when the other two arrived. Much of this book is about the third brother, Hupert.
I am looking at the trees on Ancestry this morning. I found one that is owned by BarbaraPinkston29. Barbara is not a dna match to me on Ancestry. I have not yet checked to see if she matches Mom. She had Quaker records among her sources for Johannes Cassel born 1639 in Kriegsheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany and died in 1691 in Germantown, Philadelphia
