In 1710, three large groups of Palatines sailed from London. The first went to Ireland, the second to Carolina and the third to New York with the new Governor, Robert Hunter. There were 3 000 Palatines on 10 ships that sailed for NY and approximately 470 died on the voyage or shortly after their arrival.

In NY, the Palatines were expected to work for the British authorities, producing naval stores [tar and pitch] for the navy in return for their passage to NY. They were also expected to act as a buffer between the French and Natives on the northern frontier and the English colonies to the south and east. (See source 55)

Jacob Böshaar made his first appearance on the Hunter Lists 4 July 1710 with 6 persons over 10 years and 2 persons under 10 in the family ; the 4 Oct 1710 entry called him Johann Jacob Böshar.

There is a manuscript relating to him at the Albany State Library (See source 56)
