註釋Gottlieb DeMuth (1715-1776), a member of the Moravian Brethern Church, was born at Karlsdorf, Moravia, the son of Tobias and Rosina Tonn DeMuth. Due to religious persecution, Tobias DeMuth died in prison in 1715. The rest of the family fled Moravia and lived for awhile in Saxony. Gottleib DeMuth immigrated to America in 1735 with a group of Moravians and settled near Savannah, Georgia. He migrated to Pennsylvania in 1740 and lived at Bethlehem, Allemaengel and finally Schoeneck, Pennsylvania. He married Eva Barbara Gutsler Hehl, a widow, ca. 1740. They had seven children, 1742-1755. Gottlieb and Eva DeMuth are buried in the Moravian Cemetery, Schoeneck. Their grandson, Wilhelm (William) Gottlieb DeMuth (1791-1874), was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the son of Gottlieb DeMuth, Jr. (1750-1825), a Revolutionary War soldier. He married Elizabeth Kind (1797-1882) ca. 1812. They had eight children, 1815-ca. 1846. The family lived in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, 1826 to 1829, migrated to Tuscarawas County, Ohio, in 1829, then moved to Lucas County, Ohio, ca. 1846, where they settled in Waterville Township. William and Elizabeth DeMuth are buried in the Rupp Cemetery, Whitehouse, Ohio. Descendants lived in Ohio, Kansas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and elsewhere.
