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.  Jacob DEMUTH and Maria THONIUS is the first identified ancestor in this family line.  There are still Damuths who can trace their family to this line.  Surnames associated with this line are: PETRI, WEAVER, WEBERIN, STEPHENSON, DAMUTH and VAN DUYN.
