I am looking for decendants or ancesters of Johann Jost Muth. His father (also, probably a Johann)was a hessen soldier, captured in the battle of trent, then became George Washington's personal veterinarian, discharged 1783 after Treaty of Paris, returned to Germany. My gg-grandfather, Johann Jost, was born 1785. He married Dorothea Magdelena Ebelt 1818 and moved to Bad Homburg, Germany, just north of Frankfurt and west of Bad Vilbel. They had 9 children - maria Elizebeth, Johann Joseph, Johann Daniel, Johann Heinrick, Dorothea Magdelena, August, Jakob Ludwig, Fredrick, Katherina Anna 1818 - 1830.

I traveled to Bad Homburg and found the entire family in the Luthern Church records. According to the town records they were the only Muth family in town during the 1800s. My g-grandfather, Jacob Ludwig married Susanne Bartholomu Dahlem, 1851, emigrated 1853/54 to America, raised a family of 5. I have cataloged all his decendants in America.

Fredrick also emigrated to America. I would like to make contact with any decendants of Jakob's siblings or any of the Johann Jost Muth family either in America of Germany. I also seek information on siblings of Johann Jost or his ancesters. jerrymuth@wavecable.com
