General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Guth


It is supposed that the ancestry of this family came from North Switzerland close to the German line; coming to America, they settled at an early day in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. From the best and most authentic information that can be gathered, three brothers by the name of Guth (German) settled in the above named county, and while one of the three remained there, the other two moved farther west, about the year 1740, into the province of Maryland close to the line disputed between Lord Baltimore and William Penn, now known as "Mason-Dixon line." These localities are now known as Washington and Garrett Counties, Maryland. Christian Guth settled at Leitersburg, Washington County; the other brother at Oakland, Garrett County.
In religion they were members of the Mennonite faith. 2
