Hans Philip Kressler, age 20 years, came to Pennsylvania on board the Ship Pleasant on October 11, 1732 from the Palatinate in Germany. I have been collecting information on his life and that of his descendants since 1970. Many helpful family members, past and present, have made and are making significant contributions to this effort. Their work is greatly appreciated. Surnames currently found among descendants of Hans Philip Kressler include Kressler, Kresler, Cressler and Crissler.
