    Notes:

    Family tradition says that Peter was a teacher and Huguenot. In 1685,
    after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes, an edict issued by Henry
    IV of France in 1598, granting religious freedom and political
    equality to the Huguenots. This revocation was a sentence of civil
    death on them all; it crushed more than half the commercial and
    manufacturing industry of the kingdom. Life in France became
    extremely perilous for the Huguenots and many were leaving the
    country. During a meeting held to choose a safe haven for their
    people, the look out came crying, "The enemy is upon us, save
    yourselves. Family tradition says that Peter hastily went home, took
    his ready cash, silverware and other valuables in a four-horse wagon
    and so quickly left that he forgot his hat. A friend called to him,
    "Peter Froman, where is your hat?". He replied, "It is better to have
    a head without a hat than a hat without a head." He placed his
    valuables in a ship, leaving his horses and wagon standing on the
    street.
    After escaping from France, Peter went to Germany where he married a
    French girl and settled in the Heidelberg or the Strassburg, Alsace
    area which was under German control at that time.
    His daughter Regina was said to have been born in Alsace. Although
    there are records of several Peter Froman/Vrooman in New York and New
    Jersey, no satisfactory proof has been found to show that Peter
    Froman came to America, but we know his grown children were with Jost
    Hite in Pennsylvania by 1731. If they were in America earlier, they
    probably followed, rather closely, the trail of Hite's group from
    Kingston, Ulster Co., New York to the Perkiomen (Skippack),
    Philadelphia Co., (now Montgomery) PA, to York, Lancaster Co., (now
    York), PA, and finally to the Shenandoah Valley in Frederick Co., VA.
