Event: Edgecombe Militia Military Service 1750's North Carolina
Note: John & Philip came to North Carolina in 1709 with Baron Christopher de Graffenreidt's colony of Swiss and German Palatinates (from Upper Rhine Valley). The Palatinate region was at the center of the Protestant Reformation, which suffered under the rule of Louis XIV when he revoked the Edict of Nantes (which provided great religious freedom). The Amans first moved to England for one year, until Queen Anne arranged for the group to be resettled in North Carolina. The earliest record of Aman in NC appears to be in 1714 when Phillip Aman and John Aman were lised among the Craven Precinct ""Tythables"".
