So, he & his new bride Elenora decided to emigrate to Pennsylvania. Johann & Elenora boarded the Brig Charles Ferdinand in Germany in May of 1833 & arrived in Baltimore, Maryland almost four months later. By 1838 they had established themselves in Conewago in York County. Joann was aware of the needs of the local farmers & began producing pitchers, plates & mugs in order to meet domestic needs. He also produced storage vessels like crocks, jugs & jars, which were needed for food storage & preservation. As Johann & Eleonora's family grew he taught his craft to his son's John, Henry, George, Cornelius & Isaac. Later John, Henry & George made names for themselves as highly skilled potters. Upon Johann's death in 1873, his land was divided among his widow & their children (ten in all). The five sons John, George, Cornelius, Henry & Isaac, would continue as potters. As the Pfaltzgraff brothers expanded their potteries & business horizons, in the nineteenth century industrial revolution, which was changing the United States from a farm-based society to an urban, manufacturing-driven economy. So, in 1889 George & Henry Pfaltzgraff created a partnership that would grow into the Pfaltzgraff Company. The company was called "The Pfaltzgraff Stoneware Co." The following year the brothers constructed a three-story plant next to a railroad near the western outskirts of York City, in south central Pennsylvania. This factory burned to the ground in 1906. The Pfaltzgraff's continued to produce pottery & in 2005 joined the family of "Lifetime Brands, Inc".
