His early life was spent at Crefeld, Germany, where he worked as a blue dryer. A group of one-half dozen neighbors at Crefeld purchased 1800 acres of land in PA from William Penn. One of these, Lenart Arets, whose wife was a sister of Kunder's wife, sold to him 500 acres of this land. A party of 13 families, consisting of 33 persons, left Crefeld. They sailed 24 Jul 1683 on the ship "Concord," and, upon their arrival in PA, located at Germanton. The Kunder's home was on what is now Germanton Avenue.
