A YODER SERVES IN THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR
Samuel Yoder (c1726-1771), son of John, the son of Oley immigrant Hans Joder, was a
soldier in the French and Indian War. He served with General Wolfe on the Heights of Abraham in the capture of Quebec.. According to Bertolet ' s Fragments of the Past:
"He was gone ten years, and meanwhile endured a great many hardships and privations. (Everybody had given him up for lost, and as the years rolled on no one thought that he would ever return, save his ever faithful wife, who remained constant to him. Her hope was finally realized, to the surprise of all in has safe return.) He came back as one of the wretched examples generally the fruit of war, and finally died outdoors. "His wife was a daughter of Mr. Oyster...and a sister to Mrs.John Yoder---Two children were born to them after his return. His son George was a soldier in the Revolution."

Searching for information on decendents of the name TRITT. Brothers Hans Peter and
Christian sailed aboard the Ship Robert and Alice in 1739 and were reported to
have first settled in Berks County. The name has been known to have variations
such as DRITT, D'TRITT, TREAT, and so forth. The lineage to various
Pennsylvania families has been documented. I am in search of a line leading to
Greenbriar County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and on to Lee County, Virginia.
There was reported to be another relative named Balthus TRITT to have sailed
several years later and may have settled in North Carolina. Beginning search
from scratch.

From genforum: http://genforum.genealogy.com/trout/messages/815.html
There was also a Joseph and Mary TROUT who lived in the Cocalico Township and engaged in land deals with Philip TROUT and Adam MOSER in the 1750s.[6]
Adam MOSER may be the brother of Eva MOSER who married Balthasar TROUT,

EARLY FURNACES AND FORGES OF BERKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. BY MORTON L. MONTGOMERY.

OLEY FORGE. The Oley forge was situated on the Manatawny Creek, about ten miles from its confluence with the Schuylkill, and about a half-mile south of the "Oley Churches." It continued in active operation for one hundred and twenty years. In 1744 John Ross(Betsy Ross's husband), gentleman, of Philadelphia, and John Yoder and John Lesher, of Oley, entered into a joint partnership for erecting a forge for manufacturing pig metal into bar iron. They then purchased from Sebastian Graeff a tract of one hundred and ninety-seven acres of land, situated in Oley Township, on the Manatawny Creek, adjoining lands of Robert Stapleton and John Yoder, and the "Great Road" leading to Philadelphia; and thereon erected a forge, constructed a water pond, water courses, and the necessary buildings, and supplied the utensils for the business of making bar iron; and they also purchased warrants for taking up land on the hills adjacent to the forge in order to supply it with charcoal. In 1750 John Yoder sold to John Lesher his one-third interest "of said tract and of the forge, working gears, tools, implements, dams, etc." Lesher and Ross held their respective interests in the forge till Ross's death. In the settlement of the partnership affairs litigation arose between Lesher and the Ross estate. This was being conducted in 1784, when Lesher sold his two-thirds to his son Jacob Lesher, an iron-master, and his sons-in-law, John Potts, a miller, and Jacob Morgan, a merchant. In 1794 Frederick Spang, an iron-master of Oley, obtained an interest in this forge property, and some years afterward secured all the interests. He, and, after his decease, his son Jacob, and grandson of the same name, carried on the iron business here for seventy years, until the close of the Rebellion. During this long interval, especially for fifty years, the forge was

Notes:

Arrived in America about 1717 with his father Johann Jacob Aister. His signature is found on a Petition for protection against the indians in 1728. On various deeds he signed his name as Johannes Aister or Oyster. It is thought he must have married his first wife about 1728, her name is unknown. He had acquired 200 acres of land in Oley Township in 1739, and later a piece of land in District Township. The District Township land became the Oyster Plantation. Johann George during his life acquired various tracts of land in different counties, all were sold after his death. The homestead passed to his son George, who died soon after his father, and it passed to the grandson George. For my records I have all children listed with his second wife, the widow Catharine Arendts. To date no one has uncovered the marriage dates of the wifes.

His father, Johann Jacob, had a 76 acre farm located beside New Hanover Lutheran Church. Johann Jacob was buried in the church cemetery on 31 March 1745.

Johan George also had a brother Christian, who married Margaret Schmeiser and moved to York County.

1734 taxlist, Germantown, George Trout $28 (see PA Gen Soc Vol I)

****************************************************************** Ideas:
1) George is a son of early immigrant John. But that John should have his eldest
son being John, born 1799. Perhaps George is the one born 1703 and married at age
17? Then Philip would have been younger yet, born after 1709, perhaps 1710?

2) George is a much younger son of John Henry. Younger so that he wasn't
included in the land dealings and too young for inclusion inthe early lists
of Trouts at Germantown. Note that Baltzer Trout was a witness to his will,
so he seems to have some connection to this family. The witness can't have
an interest in the will - he could be a brother or cousin, but not a son of George.

3) This is really old George, brother of John. He remarried in 1720
** using this theory now

4) George is a cousin that just came over later?
***************************************************************************
the book with the newspapers (?), pg 1342 says he died 26 sep 1745.But
that would be before his will was written? where did he die?

In Journal of Rev. Muhlenberg, I:625, 9 May 1763, mentions Paul Moser, old deacon
(of New Hanover I think)

Note: I put Paulus as the son of George based on speculation only
(ages, etc). There were a couple Moser families on the same ship.
I'm pretty sure Paulus is the one who consistently used Paulus instead
of "Paul". There was a Paul Moser who moved on to Oley Church area
who is different!

Notes:

In Journal of Rev. Muhlenberg, I:217-8, April 1749 (with a footnote saying
"According to the Church Record, Elisabeth, wife of Paul Moser, was buried
April8, 1749"

In the month of April a young married woman in the New Hannover congregation
passed away. She had been enlightened and converted by God's Word for several
years and was able to give a reason for her faith in and love for the Lord Jesus,
for she had accepted Him in faith and He had given her the right to be called
His child. Whenever she came to see me I never failed to be edified by her
godly converstaion because she knew by experience what it means to come to
Christ as a weary, heavy laden, and pardoned sinner. She had also learned meekness
and sincere humility by following Him. She was stricken withpleurisy, and from the
very beginning she surmised that she would attain to the rest that remaineth, so she
began at once to prepare herself well for departure.

I was summoned to travel up from Providence and give her Holy Communion, but,
owing to other necessary pastoral duties, was unable to get there until the next
day. When I arrived I saw at once that there were some signs of approaching death.
She said, "I have been desiring to be strengthened and refreshed just once more
during this mortal life with the body and blood of my Lord Jesus before I die,
otherwise I might well have passed away already."

When I asked her whether she was prepared for a blessed death, she replied,
"I havea desire to depart and be with Christ! Lord, now let Thy handmaiden
depart in peace, for the eyes of my faith have seen Thy salvation, etc. But
what makes my departure hard are my little children whom I must leave behind
unreared in this wild and tempting country. But I have commended them to the
Lord in prayer and I trust that He will lead them upon the straight way to
heaven and let none of them perish!" She made her confession, prayed fervently
with me, and received the Holy Communion with hunger and thirst. Five horus later
she fell asleep in the Lord to the sorrow of all who knew her. Her funeral text
wasfrom John 1:47, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile."

note - LDS Family Search calls her Elisabeth Dunckl
