Migration of the Wallere family
Between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries, German settlers arrived in North America by the thousands. Persecution based on religion and poverty were great motivators in this large-scale migration. So too was the opportunity for tenant farmers to own their own land. Ample land and opportunity awaited the settlers who went to such states as Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California, as well as Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Wallere or a variant listed above: Johann Frederick Waller, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1730. Johan Georg Waller came in 1753; while Johann Peter Waller came in 1742. Rupertus Waller came to Phialdelphia in 1754.
