• Notes

  Name Suffix: Senior When was Balthasar born? The signature on the will of 1782 looks as if he was quite old. He just appears in Montgomery Countyin 1763 and get married there. It's possible that he actually lived in Berksand just attended church across the border in Montgomery County. 1767 tax list, Colebrookdale, 4A, 1H, 1C, $2, farmer 1768 tax list, Colebrookdale, 1H,1C, $2 1779 tax list, Colebrookdale, 21A, 3H, 6C, $950 1780 tax list, Colebrookdale, 21A, 2H, 3C, $17.0.0, tanner 1781 tax list, Colebrookdale, 21A, 1 negroe, 2H, 4C, $2.4.4, tanner 1784 tax list, Colebrookdale, 21A, 1H, 3C, (8 persons) (widow) 1785 tax list, Colebrookdale, $12.9, (widow) note - US Oath, Balzer Trout, 4 Jul 1777 (seems to be Philadelphia Co though) Note that brothers in law, Michael, George and Adam Moser were also tanners. Note that future son-in-law, Peter Yoder, would be a tanner 1st Bn Berks County Militia, 2nd Co, 1st Class, Court Martial Man, 17 May 1777 (Ref PAA 5:5,161) sp - 1764Paul Moser and Eva sp - 1772 Adam Roth and Susanna (Brach?) sp - 1774 Johannes Gerber and Magdalena sp - 1776 Johannes Gerber and Magdalena sp - 1779 John Gerber and wf sp - 1781 Johannes Gerber and Anna Magdalena sp (Eva) -> 1798George Miller and Bally an Eva sp -> 1788, Jacob Riehm and Margaret at Muddy Creek Ref in Lancaster? (or probably this is this wife of George Traut s/o Jacob?) note, an executor was Stephen Krumrein (h/o Susanna Roth) (confirmed at New Hanover) Another Baltzer: (I'm sure Tritt is different - just listinghere for info) Baltus Triett, Sep 27 1752 (another person, I think) 1756 tax list, Longswamp, (Baltas Trit, see Rupps) Note: at Lehigh Church (likelythe one living across in Longswamp) Balthaser Dritt and Magdalena had: Henrich 1763 Balthaser Tritt and wf had: Maria Magdalena 1766 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. 1734 tax list, Baltus Foute $100, Frederick Twp? http://www.familytreedna.com/public/TROUT%5FDNA%5FResearch%5FProject/
