General Notes: Husband - Balzer Orth

---

On the right bank of the Danube, about fifteen miles east of Vienna, is the village of Orth, containing [in 1883] about three thousand inhabitants. In the year 1170, Hartneid von Orthe purchased the village and estate surrounding it, founded a church, and erected a castle. It remained in the family for several successive generations, when the proprietor, about the close of the seventeenth century, sold out and removed to Moravia, one of the northern provinces of Austria. The family cannot be traced from Moravia to the Rhine. The first of the family, Balzer or Balthaser Orth, emigrated from the Palatinate to Lancaster (later Lebanon) County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1725. There was warranted to him, on the 25th of November, 1735, three hundred acres of land in Lebanon township, "whereon he has been long settled."

He had administered to him the oath of allegiance April 11, 1755.
