I have since found the Staley family link back to “The Ship” and Switzerland I am working on an update to my website, but in the meantime….
George Stahley listed below was one of four sons of Benjamin Stehley born about 1777 and Hanna Nagle from Elizabeth Twp Lancaster Co PA. 
Benjamin was the son of Christian Stehley who was b. 1731 in  Alsace or  shortly after 1732 in Lancaster County PA to Ulrich Stahly and Anna Maria Germann who were married in St Marie-aux-Mines, Alsace. 
Ulrich was the son of Jacob Stahly and Anna Zuter born Schwarzenburg, Bern Switzerland on 10 March 1700. His parents were married there 4 March  1697.
Jacob Stahly was the son of Ulrich Staly and Anna Wachter born Schwarzenburg Bern Switzerland on 29 Mar 1672. His parents were married there on 15 Sep 1659.
    Ulrich and Anna Germann Stahly came to Philadelphia PA on the ship Pink Plaisance in September of 1732. They took up land in Cocalico, what is now Elizabeth Township in Lancaster Co PA. That land stayed in the Staley name for nearly 100 years until his  grandson John Stehley died intestate, unmarried. The land was taken by nephews Jerimiah Wolf and John Ench.
	Ulrich’s Brother , Jacob Stahly (Stelly on ships manifest), and their sister Elizabeth Prinisholtz came later in 1735 on the ship “Bilander Oliver” and also took up land in Cocalico Twp. Elizabeth died there in 1781. In 1780 Jacob Stahly the Innkeeper from Cocalico Twp. moved to Berks County PA and took up a lot in Reading.
