Posted on: Roth Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rot/Roth/180 Surname: John Jacob Roth ------------------------- Arlene, Interested in talking to both you and Susan about early Roth families in Lehigh/Northampton,PA. My first known ancestor in US is Johannes Jacob Roth who came on the Loyal Judith in 1742. He married Mary Anna Pittel & had a son John Jacob in 1765, the born after his death. John2 married a Eva Catherine Roth, daughter of Daniel Roth and Catherine Miller. Only these first 2 generations remain very sketchy. I have good documentation after that. J2 and his wife are buried in the Zion church cemetary in Allentown. Family settled in Bath/Bethlehem area. Have found 3 early Johns all ministers of different religions. I have lots of odds and ends...GG
