Remnant Tax Digest, Leaves Gone Front and Back. Explanatory: This is the first tax digest found in the court house, and was taken to give a practically complete census of the heads of families of that date, to identify their lands as headrights, and possible bounty grants for Revolutionary service, and to replace in a measure the census of 1790, all of which for Georgia was destroyed by the British during the War of 1812 in Washington, D. C. There is no complete digest until 1802, only a few pages left in the interim. The remnants for 1792, 1793, 1794 have been published in "Some Tax Digests of Georgia" Ruth Blair, State Historian and Archivist, and give valuable information. The entry reads: Joseph Moler, 1 poll, 250 acres Wilkes Co.

Religion: ABT 1800 KY, Nicholas Co

The largest congregation was north of Boonesboro, toward Limestone. It was on Hinkston Creek, near Mount Sterling Kentucky. Jonas Hahn and his son Peter were here, as were the Welty, Kern, Rebelin, Ramsey, Moler, Garver/Garber, Ockerman, Keithley, Landess, Hendricks, Coleglazer, Lantz, Rowland, Sears, West, Wyatt, Zimmerman families. This was a "Brethren Association" church, and went Disciples after 1826.

----
Joseph Moler undoubtedly spoke German and was a member of the early German Baptist Church. While in Kentucky, the Molers, along with the Welty, Ockerman, Keithley and Landess families, were prominent in the Brethren congregation formed at Hinkston Creek, Bath County and their meeting place on Somerset Creek, Nicholas County, now East Union. Many of these families relocated to Highland County, Ohio in the first years of the 19th century, Joseph Moler going there about 1814.

The Crose Families. Michael Crose was born in Maryland in 1765, or earlier, and his wife, Mary Crose, was born in Virginia in 1769. They were both members of the German Baptist or Dunkard Church. They both spoke the German language and brought their German Bible with them to Kentucky about 1780. In all probability their ancestors came to Pennsylvania with a colony of German Baptists in 1719 from near Kassel Hess, in Westfalia Province, Germany. This colony spread over parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and finally a small community came to Bourbon and Nicholas counties, Kentucky. Among them were Blounts, Shrouts, Molars, Hahns and the Crose or Krauses. They built a church at the forks of Somerset Creek in Nicholas County, which they named East Union, and in which they preached in the German language.

I found Joseph Moler later at the Falls Creek Church in Highland Co OH and the hint/possibility that he died at the home of his son, John Moler at the Obannon or Stonelick Church. I have not found any grave for Joseph or John around Stonelick. There is a Moler Road just northwest of the present church or southeast of the Obannon Church where John Moler lived. I do not have a complete burial list of the Stouder Cemetery at the Obannon Church site just southeast of Goshen OH. The Stonelick Church sits at the edge of the Stonelick State Park near Edenton OH. The Park was made of several of the Brethren farms. The surviving congregation of the old Obannon Church is now pastored at the Stonelick Church of the Brethren.

Research Notes:
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..."
http://home.netcom.com/~fzsaund/moulder.html

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.

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.

"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.

Johann married Anna Elizabeth* Becklbect (?), (immigrant)Switzerland. Anna was born on 22 May 1698 in Katzbach, Bern, Switzerland; died on 23 Dec 1772 in Ephrata Twp, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania; was buried in Ephrata Mohler Dunkard Church Cem, Ephrata, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania.
