- Joseph, my ancestor, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have found no conclusive record of his parents other than what's posted in numerous trees with no sources. If, indeed, his father was Ludwig, Jr., then his father did not immigrate at the same time as Ludwig, Sr. The ship manifest shows that Ludwig Sr. crossed with his wife and three sons, and those three sons were said to be, according to unsubstantiated entries, George, Henry, and Jacob. Yet another said "George of John." So, if John, then that would account for Johann Ludwig, Jr., who would have been 4 yrs old.
He would have settled in Frederick Co Maryland sometime after 1749 because Joseph was born in Lancaster. According to what's general consensus on him, he died in 1776. The History of Lancaster book was written in 1883 and did not include him. It also said nothing more was known of Sr.'s son George other than he made the voyage. Could somehow George and Ludwig Jr. be one and the same?
With all that said there is an article regarding Muhler Y-DNA testing that states:
"Ludwig MOHLER has only one proved son at the present time, that being Ludwig, Jr. With the DNA match..."

The consensus also says that Ludwig Jr.'s wife was Anna Huntseker, and I have been unable to find a good source for that. I did find where an Anna Huntseker was passenger on the ship Pennsylvania Merchant, John Stedman, Master, from Rotterdam. Qualified Sep. 11, 1731. She is included in the list of "Women's names above 16" along with a Eliz. Huntseker and a Frena Huntseker. In the general list of passengers is a Hartman Huntseker and a Martin Hunseeker. Another list shows Anna Huntseker, Ursul Huntseck, Meyer Huntseker, and Hannes Hunseker.

Interestingly enough, on that same ship was a Johann Georg Mayer, Andrens Meyer, and Gerich Meyer. Could they be our Pennsylvania cousins?
