      That both Jacob and Balthasar end up in Earl Twp area, I believe they might be
      related. Still, there's no church records showing common sponsorship or anything
      to support that theory.

      From History of Berks Co, pg 1465, by Montgomery (I don't believe most of this):

      The Trouts were from England. There were three brothers, one settled in
      Berks Co, 1 in Germantown, and 1 in Lancaster Co. By tradition, all three were
      in the Continental Army under Washington.

      One who went to Berks Co didn't speak German, but married a German woman
      named Hartline. They had children John and Samuel. John, 1758-1844 is buried
      at the Hill Church

      Comment - Too many of those three brother theories!. There were several early
      brothers, likely, who account for many of these branches (having arrived around 1709).
      But it would be their sons or grandsons who would fight under Washington. (or
      in the state militias).

      The story is also clearly about Samuel Traut, s/o Jacob Sr, who married Magdalena
      Hartline. Samuel was born about 1780.
