Technically the origin of the Altomus (Altemus) family in America is actually Maria Catherina Altomus, wife of Johan Philip Serfass. She arrived in Pennsylvania on 27 Aug 1739.

Maria Catherina married Johan Philip (about 1731). An online source referring to a, "pastor diary of Moravian congregation at Nazareth," said that Johan Philip, "came with his wife to PA."

Johan Philip Serfass arrived in Pennsylvania 27 Aug 1739 on the Ship Samuel, according to Rupp's Collection of 30,000 Names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania, page 133.

Maria Catherina (Altomus) Serfass is my 6th-great grandmother through her son, Wilhelm Serfass, and granddaughter, Margaretha Serfass (married Jacob Miller in 1802).
