1790 - By this date as many as 100,000 Germans may have  immigrated to 
America; they and their descendants made up an estimated 8.6  percent of the 
population of the United States; in Pennsylvania they accounted  for 33 percent 
of 
the population; in Maryland for 12 percent. 
Many of them were religious objectors, ie Mennonites, Amish offered  refuge 
by William Penn.
