The first known ancestor of this line is John DEMUTH. John was born in Rossdorf, Kreis, Germany in 1829, he immigrated to America in circa 1850. John was married Katherine MAI. John and Katherine lived in Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY. John and Katherine's children were: Katherine M. "Katie", Anna\Annie, Marie Luise "Molly", Julius C., Nell Amelia and Clara May DEMUTH. Surnames associated with this line are; SUMPTER, WATKINS and WILSON. We know this family line was part of the Palatine emigrations of 1709. I do not have all the Palatine lines straighten out, there is a lot of confusion in these lines and there are no clear answers. For more information on these lines consult the book "The Palatine Families of New York" and "More Palatine Families" both books are by Henry Z. Jones, Jr. There are other books out there that are not as well researched and may mislead. The Palatine lines I have are listed are: 1.Herkimer County New York Family Line; 2.Hoch-Weisel Germany Family Line; 3.Oneida County New York Family Line; 4.Runkel an Lahn Germany Family Line. Many of the Palatine descendants now have the surname of DAMUTH. The first known ancestor of this line is Michael DEMUTH, he was born in Luxembourg circa 1820. He was married to a REISDORF. Their sons Nicholas, Michael, Jacob and Peter immigrated to America and settled in Butler and Platte Counties NE. There are many descendents still living in Nebraska. Surnames associated with this line are: LAUDERBOUGH, MEYSENBURG, MOES, SCHMIT and THIESE. |
