Editor's Introduction: During the first half of the nineteenth century, thousands of North Carolinians migrated to new territories west or south. Their experiences on the road were generally unrecorded, unlik those of the Harding family which were related in a rare family record. In an article which offers a vivid sense of the challenges and rewards of migration, a Harding descendant illustrates how a researcher may evaluate a document, how a family record can be used, and how such a record can be frustrating as well as informative. Mrs. Casstevens expresses particular gratitude to the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina Library in Chapel Hill.
As a child, I often heard the story of how my grandfather, Dr. Thomas R. Harding, had fallen out of the back of the wagon as it crossed a stream and then moved up a steep hill on the Harding family's way to the West . . .
. . . Only recently did I learn that a diary existed which had been kept on that journey by my grandfather's sister, Keziah Ann. . . .

Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser was born in Frankenthal (Rhineland Palatinate), Germany about 1696.(1) Frankenthal is near Mannheim. Very little proof is available, at this time, concerning the early life of Johan Hendrick. However, it is probable that he joined the Seventh Day Baptists at an early age, since it has been recorded that he left Frankenthal at age 19 to join Alexander Mack's group in Schwarzenau (Wittgentstein),(2) due to religious persecution in the Frankenthal area. . . .
In 1724, after the reading of the banns (three times at two-week intervals) or proclamations, Johan Hendrick and Anna Flys Layen were married on 28 February 1724.(4) It is believed that all three sons were born of this union. Some time between the date of this marriage and the departure for Philadelphia in 1729, Anna Flys Layen probably died, since Johan Hendrick had a different wife, Agnes (Anna) Margaretha,(5) at the time of sailing from Rotterdam. (Alexander Mack, Jr. records that he knew "the two wives of Johan Hendrick.")(6) . . .
The ship Allen arrived in Philadelphia on 15 September 1729.(7) Among the passengers were Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser with his family: his wife Agnes, sons Christophel (or
