    1734 tax list, Germantown, Baltser Trout $25 (andalso George)

    Will of Jeremias Traut and John Bathazer Traut, Germantown, 26May 1747/8,
    21 Jun 1750, J.275.
    (how can a will be for two people?)

    will supposedly mentioned land held jointly with his brother Jeremiah.
    mentions "our beloved sons and cousins Jacob, Balthazer and Jeremias Trout"

    (someone says this is the three sons of John Balthazar Trout)
    It would appear that his wife had died by then.

    Exec: Jacob Traut and John Frederick Ox (Ochs), John Shinfeld
    Wit. Mathias Adams and John Roberts

    Since he doesn't appoint a son tobe executor, I'm thinking his kids are
    probably not old enough. I have that he was married about 1725, but
    could he have been older?

    see also will of Jacob Busset, 1741/1741, mentions
    Mary Elizabeth, Jacob, John and Eva.
    Exec. son in law John Balzer Troutt and Henry Frederick (Philadelphia County)

    in Germantown, c1740 were Balzer, George and Jeremias

    in Germantown in April 1760were
    Jeremiah, Baltzer and Jacob Trout (all c/o Baltzer Sr?)

    John married Maria Elisabeth BUSSET Abt 1729, PA. Maria was born Abt 1705; died Bef 1750, Germantown, Philadelphia Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

    a child of Jacob Trout buried at Germantown 28 Jun 1756
