I have researched my Motz family tree. What I have is Jacob Motz born about 1809 married Catherine (Kilzer?) born about 1812 in Germany --(Bad Kessingen?) had four children
Jacob Motz born 5-2-1831 died 9-30-1909
Caroline Motz born 9-25-1834 died 3-13-1921
Catherine Motz
Thabold Motz.
I do have complete info on first two children Jacob(of which I am decended) and Caroline which married a Becker. I do not have any info on Catherine or Thabold but had heard rumors that Catherine had drowned at a young age. The Motz family was from Ohio. I think near Salem Ohio.
but some of this family is from Marrietta,Ohio.
