Johann David Iffland Signed as David Iffland executed his will on May 28 1753 and signed his name "David Iffland" in German Script, while he was called David Eveland" in the Body of the will, which probably had been written by an English-Speaking lawyer. " It was proved on 8 Nov 1761. A Complete Copy Follows. On the two pages posted.

Johann David Iffland(aka Eveland) , according to research done by Wayne Van Leer Jones,' was born in what is now Germany .He,and his wife and one child embarked at Rotterdam, Holland during the period July 3 to 10,1709 and on July 15,1709 they sailed for London,England in the 5th sailing of Palatines who were emigrating to England, at the invitation of Queen Ann, for later transfer to the English colonies in America. Undoubtedly they came down the Rhine River a month or two before and were probably in Rotterdam for several weeks before sailing.
'His name was misspelled as David Yslant in the embarkation list, a spelling which has been verified by examination of the original list(by Wayne).The Iffland family were 'poor Palatines' who had embarked on a heart rending experience which,through no fault of their own ,was to try their very souls, Driven to leave their homeland by the ravages of war (or much less probably by religious persecution) and by the hardships occasioned by the unusually bitter winter of 1708-09 they went down the Rhine to Rotterdam and thence to London where they lived in what today would be called a refugee camp. Just before Christmas 1709 they embarked on one of a group of ten ships to go to America .The departure of these ships from England was long delayed and after more than three months on shipboard they finally sailed in a convoy on April 10,1710 from Portsmouth.The first ship arrived in New York on June 13,1710 and the last one on August 2,1710.'
In New York 'subsistence was provided to them by order of Queen Anne and under the local direction of Govenor Hunter of New York---' According to Wayne, detailed lists maintained during this period recorded each family, its size the number of days subsistence and the amount,(the Hunter Lists). These lists have survived and track this family from June,1710 through September, 1712. Those journals and ledgers are located in 'CO 5/1230 Public Records Office, London England.
During this period of subsistence the family first resided on Nutten (now Governors) Island where many of the immigrants 'were recovering from the epidemic of 'Palatine Fever'(typhus) from which hundreds died on shipboard and after arriving in New York.' Later they moved up the Hudson River to an area referred to as Livingston Manor near the current towns of Germantown and Rhine beck.
'The stay in the settlements along the Hudson was a period of continuing hardship. Each family lived in a hut constructed by itself as best it could and of its own design.They worked at times on the abortive Naval Stores scheme but had no real means of livelihood and were sustained most inadequately by a grafting contractor with the government funds which would have been inadequate under good management. In September,1712 the funds for their support ran out and they were released from their obligations to the Crown and left to shift for themselves. Not only was this unfortunate for the individuals involved,but it brought an end the fine record that had been kept of them.
'Just when the Iffland family left the Hudson River settlements and moved to West Amwell Township,Hunterdon County,New Jersey is not known but it was during the period 1716-1722,since David Eviland was one of the 'early settlers' of West Amwell Township.'
Though most records in New Jersey spell the family name 'Eveland', Johann David always signed his name 'David Iffland' Other variations in spelling are:Ephlin. Efland, Ephland, Ifland, Ifflandt, and Iffland ' The German pronunciation is Eafulandt.
