In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Edolps to arrive on North American shores: Isaac Adolphus, who settled in New York in 1758; Fred Adolf, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1802; Joseph Adolphe, who settled in Savannah, GA in 1820.
