- May 1714 - “John Henry TRAUT, two sons, one daughter, and son-in-law” area
listed among the Brethren living in Marienborn. Source: Donald F. Durnbaugh,
European Origins of the Brethren (Brethren Press, Elgin, IL 1958), pp. 183-184.
Could the children be Balthasar and Jeremiah? It would seem that the daughter
is old enough to be married, but the sons are too young to be listed by name. The
sons then could be Balthasar and Jeremiah, but he couldn't be the
father of George then.
...Immigrants from the original church in Schwardzenau arrived in Philadelphia
in the Fall of 1729. Upon arrival, one such individual wrote, "John Henry
Traut from Germantown, another of the Brethren, hauled our things a
distance of four hours to this place without taking pay."
In many ways, it seems John Henry is an elder to the communittee and possibly
older than Jeremiah and Baltzer. I'm assuming for now he was the father.
***** a Henry Trout at Ephrata that "never married"
one source said Henrich was a hermit, then married a widow (Sophia?)
***** at Berks, after 1733
note - a John Henrich Traut married Anna Maria Baum, 11/24/1738 at the
Monakesen (Monocacy Creek in Oley, Berks?)
(that would seem to be Henry, s/o J Martin, immig 1733)
(J Debalt, J Martin, John (16), J Henrich (16))
(probably moved on right after this) (Debalt in Lancaster 1737)
***** at Ephrata, after 1733
and atEphrata, a Henry that "temporarily renounced celibacy and married,
but later returned to his celibacy"
a daughter Eufemia (or Eufenia?) (of Henry, a Baptist at Germantown)
died 3 May 1753 at Ephrata, Lancaster
