<metadataxml><content><line>&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;Theobald (Dewald/David) Pfautz, age 16 or under arrived in Philadelphia on the ship &amp;quot;Davy&amp;quot; in October 1738.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;He appears on the ship&amp;#39;s list as &amp;quot;Theevia Fautzen.&amp;quot; Fautzen is the German feminine form of the surname Fautz. Fautz=Pfautz. Strassburger and Hinke, &amp;quot;Pennsylvania German Pioneers&amp;quot; (Norristown Pennsylvania German Society, 1934), 3 Vols., 2255, list &amp;quot;Theevia&amp;quot; as a &amp;quot;doubtful&amp;quot; name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;The ship&amp;#39;s list certified that there were 94 men, 47 women - a total of 141 on board. Theevia Fautzen must be included with the list of men in order to make the total 94.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;No others on the list of men have &amp;quot;-en&amp;quot; on their surnames. Hence, the name was that of a male named Fautz, or in German Pfautz. &amp;quot;Theevia&amp;quot; being aural English spelling of a German-pronounced German name can be transliterated phonetically into &amp;quot;Thebchd,&amp;quot; which is recognizable as Theobald. Strassburger and Hinke, 1233, List 61A only.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;The ship&amp;#39;s list included all males by name regardless of age and totaled 94 men. Only 40 men, those over age 16, signed the Oath of Allegiance (list 61B) and the Oath of Abjuration (list 61C).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;Per later date, Theobald Pfautz was a Lutheran when he arrived; hence would not conscientiously scruple to taking of the oaths if he were of age. Inasmuch as he married in 1743, his age then was most likely 21, for he also obtained a Maryland head right in the same year.&lt;/ul&gt;</line></content></metadataxml>
