Mahantango Valley in Schuylkill county, where he followed farming. His wife was
Sarah Howerter, and they are buried at the Howerter church in that valley. They
had children as follows:

knowing that Peter and Abraham bought land together makes me wonder if they
aren't in fact brothers. But then where would they fit??Iit seems they both came from
Oley Twp. Henry Schreckengast was the wife of Esther Yoder, d/o George Sr.

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,
probably the son of one of the three brothers.

Philadelphia, July 9. 1747. RUN away the 5th of this instant,
from John Yoder, of Oley township, Philadelphia county, two
Irish servant men; the one named Daniel Donahew, about 40
years of age, of middling size, long thinvisage, much pock
mark, has a large scar on his left cheek, and another on his
neck, black hair, if not cut off, by trade a miller. Had on
when he went away, a felt hat, homespun shirt, a light brown
linsey jacket, with brass buttons, two trowsers, yarn
stockings, and half worn shoes. The other names Thomas Lynch,
about 20 years of age, well set, much freckled in his face,
black hair,if not cut off. Had on when he went away, a
chestnut colourlinsey jacket, a fine hat, an ozenbrigs
shirt, tow trowsers, and new shoes. They took some other
cloaths with them. and perhaps may change those describ
above. Whoever takesup and brings the said servants to their
master, or secures them in any goal,so that he may have them
again, shall have THREE PISTOLES reward for each, and
reasonable charges, paid by JOHN YODER.

See Yoder Newsletter #37, pg 6 mentions land bought by a John Yoder of Oley Twp,
land in Reading Twp, York Co.Later it goes to a Daniel Yoder. Possibly this John
and his son Daniel.

A curious deed in Northampton. Possibly John was buying land for his

John Oyster, witness to will of Johannes Boyer, 1742

Note that sometimes John George Oyster seems to show up under John Oyster
(although with the German Rufsnamen tradition, he'd show up as George
Oyster *or* John George Oyster).

I'd really like to see the Oyster families sorted out. The records on the family
are scarce and there's confusion which children married which. I'm not
sure of the source of Samuel Yoder's wife being an Oyster/Eister but
if she is, it would seem logical that she'dbe in this family.

From http://eister.com/eistergn/d40.htm

born on 1 Mar1703 in Stuttgart, Neckar, Wuerttemberg, (Germany). He died in Aug 1789 in Oley, Berks, PA

The Eyster Family by Anita L. Eyster
"John George Oyster was the oldest son of John Jacob. He arrived with his father but his exact age we donot know. His signature is found on the Petition for protection against the Indians in 1728, and he must have married about that time but the name of his wife is unknown. He wrote his name always John Aister or Oyster, on Deeds and on his Will and it is only the final settlement of his estate that we are able to identify him with the George of his father's Will. He was naturalized at the same time as his father but began to acquire land at an earlier date; 200 acres inOley was fully paid for by 1739, and this was the plantation (afterwards in District Tp., Berks County), which became the family Homestead. He also owned various other tracts in several Counties, which were sold after his
death. His oldest son, George, took the Homestead plantation, but since he died soon after his father, it passed to the grandson George. John George Oyster died in 1789, his second wife, the widow Catharine Arendts, having preceded him. He had four sons: George, just mentioned, who married Hannah Moyer; Samuel, who died 1767, leaving several children, of whom the youngest, Daniel, who married Elisabeth Reif, served in the Revolution with the rank of Captain, and lived in York County, where he died in 1798; Jacob, who married Magdalen Burkhouse and had several sons who inherited some of John George Oyster's lands and became the progenitors of the Oyster in Cumberland County and partly of those in Adams and Franklin.Samuel, Daniel and Jacob all lived in York and Adams counties. Of several daughters of John George Oyster, the oldest, Elizabeth, married John Yoder and the youngest, Margaretha, married Daniel Yoder, and was buried with him in the Yoder Ground at Pleasantville. Another daughter, Susanna, married Richard Adams anda fourth, Catharine, was married to George Schall. The Oyster family is still very numerous in Berks County." p.23 !NOTE: Naturalized 5/19/1739 He was married to Catherine (Arendts) ARENTZ in 1728 in PA.

Notes:

I think that this is the Traut who appeared in Lambsheim with Johannes and
came to America c1719. He remarried when he got here in Philadelphia
and then moved on to Germantown with the rest of his family.

I'm showing that George doesn't seem active with the Brethren, but
his children may have been involved.

Children born in Germany with first wife Anna Maria
John 1699
Anna Maria 1702, sp John Trout

Children with second wife (assuming) Sarah:
?? guessingyounger daughters might be listed by name in will.

****************************************************************** 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?

(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
