Per Enos S. Schwenk in "The Schwenk Family":
"The story of the beginning of the Schwenk Family in America is the usual one of three brothers. It differs from the traditional: one goes south, one goes west, and one goes north. In this case, the three brothers stayed in Pennsylvania. One settled in the area near Germantown, and the other two settled in the Perkiomen Valley area."

(NB: The 'three brothers' were Peter, Hans Michael and Jacob, but it has since been proven that Jacob was the son of Rudolf Schwenk of Switzerland, not Johann Daniel of Germany.)

"Peter had set out with Hans Michael on the journey from Germany to America, but while Hans Michael boarded the 'Jamaica Galley', Peter followed on the ship 'Samuel' under the command of Hugh Percy. Peter settled in the Perkiomen Valley where Hans Michael was, and both were members of the Old Goshenhoppen Reformed Lutheran Church."
