Mr. Gu Jun "reading weekly" May 9, 2012 article, "The earliest Chinese people to the United States," is by far the Chinese press described more specific one. Which covers the period from 1785-1825 in four decades of four batches 14 people, sailors, businessmen, students have American citizenship, but also returned to China. It is distributed to the United States the first dozen people. Generally speaking their situation:

1, 1785, arrived in the U.S. in three Chinese sailors. The first one will be the Chinese people to the U.S. merchant ships is the "wisdom of the Goddess" (Pallas), Captain Aoduonaier (John O 'Donnell), recruited a number of Indian sailors and three Chinese people.

However, at this time, this group of sailors suddenly disappeared, they are returned to their homeland later, or remain in the United States, the fate and how, without any documented to become a big mystery. On the existing literature, first seen Chinese people, and no doubt the U.S. cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia residents.

University of Maryland, the latest research into the United States will be the first time the Chinese locked in 1785 .That year, three Chinese seamen by "Pallas No." (PALLAS) ship, arrived in Maryland in Baltimore .

This is documented in 1785 to the United States in three Chinese people, but this is the last three Chinese sailors missing, their lives, and it is unclear whether American citizenship. Gu will be written in the wrong 1795 1785 a.

3-year period 1807-1808 Chinese businessman. Following the previous two batches of Chinese sailors came after the U.S. is a Chinese businessman, he documented in the United States is called PunghuaWingchong.

Alana modern fitness is likely to be one of the earliest Chinese Protestants.
This short article mentions the 1820s the earliest Chinese students in the United States, where Alana fitness (LiaonAshee), 1839, he was hired as Lin English translation, is worthy of deep study of the figure.

Although they are some of the earliest Chinese who came to the United States, but as emigration is not really, and then in the 1840s thing.
