"The primary reasons for the migration of the Original 13 Families were religious persecution and the pursuit of economic opportunities. The Quakers and Mennonites faced significant religious intolerance in Europe, which pushed them to seek a place where they could freely practice their faith. The economic opportunities in the New World, especially in the burgeoning colony of Pennsylvania, also attracted these families." https://www.myheritage.com/wiki/The_Original_13
