The Moler Family cemetery
(note: As it turned out through Y-DNA, this George Adam Moler was not the son of Ludwig who immigrated in 1730 with three sons, one being named George. Per History of Lancaster County," published in 1883, no further info was had of Ludwig's son George. This dedication is in error.)
of Jefferson County, West Virginia
In this cemetery are buried George Adam Moler (1714-1783) and his wife Eve. George Adam Moler came to America on Aug 29, 1730 with his father, Ludwig Mohler, settling first in Lancaster, Penn. He moved to this area around 1758. He received a land grant from Lord Fairfax in 1762. Due to a misspelling on this land grant "George changed the spelling of his last name from Mohler to Moler. This cemetery is on the original land grant. Also buried here are George Adam Moler, Jr., who served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and George Washington Moler, Jr., who served in Co. "D", 12th Virginia Cavalry Laurel Brigade C.S. A., who was wounded and died at Staunton, VA, on Dec 22 1863. This memorial is placed in memory of all the Moler's of Jefferson County, West Virginia, and their descendants. June 2001" |

"Mathes/Matthis MOHLER could not be the father of a Ludwig MOHLER born 4 Apr. 1696, as Matthis had a son Heinrich born in Dec. 1696. He also had a son Ludwig that was born in 1705. DNA does show that descendants of Matthis and Ludwig are related but exactly how is not known. Details at above site." (http://home.netcom.com/~fzsaund/moulder.html)
However, Johann Ludwig was born 4 Apr 1696 but was baptized at 7 years old on 22 Nov 1703.
There were two sons Heinrich born to 2nd wife Margreth Strub:
one baptized 25 Nov 1696 but unknown how old he was when baptized. If bt in Nov, he was not born in Dec.
The other son Heinrich was bt 4 Mar 1694.
There is no conflict of births with either of these sons Heinrich.
Re a son Ludwig born in 1705, his name was also listed as Johann Ludwig and he was bt 22 Nov 1705; so again, we do not have his age at baptism.
"Our" Johann Ludwig Muhler was born 4 Apr 1696 and pt 22 Nov 1703 (again, at 7 yrs old). The first Johann bt 22 Nov 1705 vs the 2nd pt Nov 1703 -- looks like a mistranslation on the date of the bt.

| Notes |
- Ludwig Mohler came from Switzerland in 1730 and located in this township, and had three sons, George, Jacob, and Henry. Of George we have no record. Jacob married and had a son and daughter. His daughter married a Mellinger, from whom probably sprang a large number of the Mellinger family in this county. The son, Jacob, married and had two sons,
John and George. George was a bachelor. John married and became the father of six sons and two daughters.
Hisory of Lancaster County.
(note, this book does not name Ludwig Jr.)
----------
For those Mohlers who were looking for Ludwig, fear not, he is here too. Anna Catharine Mohler, who we believe was Ludwig's daughter, married John Landis, Jr. [son of Ephrata John]. 1728 Henry Mohler's wife was John, Jr.'s sister Elizabeth Landis. We also captured some of the data from J M Hacker's ged2html pages before they disappeared from the Web. These links depict the lineage of Ludwig Mohler, Jr., a true son of Ludwig.
