Nationality & Ethnicity
The DeBolts were Huguenots (French Protestants) who left Catholic France in the late 1600's. They went to all areas of the world looking for refuge; our DeBolts went to Protestant areas of Germany. Many of the Huguenots who emigrated to America spoke only German. Hans Michael Diebolt and his family arrived in America on Setp. 3, 1739 on the ship "Robert and Alice", arriving in Philadelphia from Rotterdam, Holland. Hans Michael's son, also named Hans Michael was among those passengers listed; only males 16 years or older were listed, so there were probably other children as well as their mother on the boat. There were known to be two younger boys, George and Henry. The name was changed to Debolt almost right away after coming here, and at some point later, became DeBolt, although in records it can be seen as Tiebolt as well. Debolt is a French last name.
