RESEARCH BY PETER JUNG, GERMANY: Philippus Heinrich baptismal record This translates as: the 4th of February (1751) Johannes Peter Flicks wife from here named Anna Gertruda brought during he is absent serving in Dutch services an illegal son to baptism and to be the father of that child she declared her husbands brother GERLACH PAUL FLICK, Schöffe (Alderman?) Jonas (i.e. short form of Johann Christianus) Flicks son from here. Godfathers... Not long after the birth and baptism of young Philippus (Feb 1751), Gerlach seems to have decided to migrate to the new world (Sept 1751). This could very well have had something to do with his older brother returning from the Netherlands. Gerlach was now considered something of a black sheep, since it was well known that Philippus was his son. So well known in fact, that when Philippus married Anna Marie Jung, the church records list him as the foster son of Johann Peter Flick! To avoid the embarrassment, it seems Gerlach decided to try his luck in America. Johann Peter returned and fathered 7 more children with Anna Gertruda, and although he cared for and raised Philippus, the knowledge that he was illegitimate would have precluded his ever being able to own land or even be accepted in 18th Century culture. Gerlach seems to have wanted to "do right" by his son, and helped him migrate to America as well. The 50 pounds mentioned in Gerlach Paul's will was most likely the money to help Philip relocate his family to America. Philip would have met his father for the first time upon arriving in Philadelphia in 1785. Philip settled in Pennsylvania very near Gerlach Paul, even attending the same church as his father (Zion Stone Church). It's doubtful the two ever told anyone about their relationship, as evidenced by the will of Gerlach Paul, where he clandestinely mentions "a certain Philip Flick", never mentioning their father/son relationship. So although Johann Peter raised Philip as though he was a son, he was not Philip's biological father. FROM: http://www.flickfamily.com/genealogy.aspx
