Philip was born in about 1710. Philip and his wife Maria fled from the Palatinate, County of Wittgenstein, Germany during
the great persecutions following the treaties of Westphalia.
This period of time from 1700 to 1750 was much unsettled in Government and religion of Western Europe from which many
migrated to the freedom of America. That part of Germany West of the Rhine River, then known as Palatinates was especially
disturbed because of rival claims and possessions by Germany and France. Protestants were persecuted and exiled. At this time
many Cable (Cobell) families migrated from Wuertenberg and Western Europe to the colonies of America. Amsterdam and
Baltimore were the easy ports of exit and entry.

Stedman, and settled in Germantown, in 1732. Philip and Maria on arriving at Germantown soon were attracted to the
Brethren in the Germantown Church. In 1735, Philip and Maria were attracted to Conrad Beissel and his preaching. They
soon affiliated themselves with the Beissel movement and moved near Ephrata after Beissel began his work there. He took an
Oath of Allegiance and and Oath of Abjuration.
