By the eve of the American Revolution over 200,000 German speaking immigrants had arrived at the ports of Philadelphia and New York, and this inflow continued well into the 19th century.
While the 17th century saw only limited immigration from German speaking lands to the American colonies, by the mid-1700s German immigrants began arriving by the thousands. Although no definitive record of his arrival in America has been found, it has been reasoned that Conrad Kresge likely arrived in America circa 1750. Conrad Kresge, who today is generally referred to as Conrad Kresge, the Pioneer, was among these 18th-century immigrants.
Our immigrant ancestor of the Kresge family is Conrad Kresge who was probably born circa 1730-35 in either the Palatine region of Germany, or Switzerland.
