Dated 1750

EP ET PRIN IEO DUX ETT FGIH (or FCLH)

THEOD CAR DG BAV D

MacCrimmon

This (THEOD CAR DG BAV D) points to;

Karl Theodor, Prince-Elector, Count Palatine and Duke of Bavaria....ruled as Prince-Elector from 1742 onward.

The "EP" may signal Elector-Prince et (and) ???


My German patriarch "got out of Dodge" in 1750, and sailed to Philly. He was tired of fighting for a bunch of Krauts.....then 26 years later he and his sons wound up fighting another Kraut, King George III.
