This page is intended to collect a variety of research information related to the surnames and origins for this particular family. If someone feels inspired to create a One Name Study, please proceed.

The family originated in Nordhausen, Freie Reichsstadt, Heiliges Römisches Reich, in the modern state of Thuringia. David Gottfried relocated to Pennsylvania in 1752. By 1764 they had moved to North Carolina. David is last found in the 1810 census of Wagster, Montgomery, North Carolina, United States.

Birth: Eudy Family by Martin Luther Burchinal, 1988, p.1
Death: Eudy Family
Name: Eudy is a German name, probably Saxony, German. The third generation of Eudy's in America spoke German until they were 18 years old. 1790 and 1800 census list Gottried alone. He was old in 1810. He was alive in 1810, so death was after 1810.

Other spellings for the name Eudy which appear on census records are: OODY, OUDY, UDY,UEDY, EUDE, UDE, and EUDY.

My wife's maiden name is Eudy & she was born in Albemarle, NC. We spent many years stationed in Germany, and I was able to discover a bit of information about the Eudy / Uthe family you might find of interest. Much of this information (census material, passenger lists, etc.) is now available online.

David Gottfried Uthe was from Nordhausen (in the northern part of the modern state of Thuringia), Germany. He was the son of Johann Nicolaus Uthe, citizen and shoemaker in Nordhausen. (The name Uthe is relatively common in Nordhausen at that time period -- I was able to discover dozens of individuals, though I could not connect any of them to Johann Nicolaus.)

David Gottfried Uthe went to Wertheim (in the northern part of the modern state of Baden-Wurttemburg), Germany in 1750. (I got much of this information from Erich Langguth; he and his father Otto Langguth have been the genealogists in Wertheim for many years.) Uthe apprenticed with Johann Leonhard Flegler, the master shoemaker and member of the town council of Wertheim and, on 16 Nov 1750, married his daughter (Anna Dorothea Flegler). They had a daughter (Agatha Sophia Uthe), who was baptized on 20 July 1752 (I have a copy of the marriage record from the church and the baptismal record, though they are in handwritten old German & very difficult to read). Johann Flegler had died on 31 Jan 1751, and David Gottfried Uthe petitioned the Prince of Saxony for manumission (his freedom) and permission to emmigrate to Pennsylvania. The application was submitted on 10 May 1752, claiming that he could not pay the normal fee to purchase his freedom from the Prince because he had "spent his fortune through domestic affliction and the sickness of his wife."

David Gottfried Uthe (presumably together with Anna Dorothea and the baby Agatha Sophia) left Wertheim, traveling up the Main River to the Rhine, and then north to the port of Rotterdam, and he embarked on the ship Phoenix. It sailed via Portsmouth, England, and arrived in Philadelphia. On 2 November 1752, the passengers took the oath of abjuration (forsaking all foreign rulers and pledging allegiance to the King of England) in the Philadelphia courthouse. David Gottfried Uthe signed his full name. Though the names of a number of wives and children are listed on the manifest of arriving "foreigners," there is no mention of Anna Dorothea or Agatha Sophia. Given that his request for manumission mentioned that his wife had been sick, she may well have died on the six-month-long trip. Given that the baby was less than a year old, she likely perished as well once her mother had died.

David Gottfried Uthe probably remained in Pennsylvania for a period of time (perhaps in the Lancaster County or Berks County area, though I've not yet discovered anything specific). If Anna Dorothea did not survive the trip to America, it is likely that he remarried and had two sons -- Conrad (also spelled Konrad - probably born ~1753) and Daniel Burnhard (also spelled Barenhardt - probabaly born ~1754). That might have happened in Pennsylvania or in North Carolina. What I know is that sometime before June 1764, David Gottfried Uthe traveled along the great Pennsylvania Wagon Trail down through Virginia and settled in the western portion of the colony of North Carolina. On 25 June 1764, David Gottfried Uthe (spelled Godfrey Youte on the indenture) purchased 108 acres of land in what was then Mecklenburg County from Arthur Dobbs, Captain-General and Governor of North Carolina, for 10 Pounds & 16 Shillings. The indenture from the Governor is available in the State Archives in Raleigh.

On 24 July 1781, Gottfried Uthe, a shoemaker, filed a claim against the estate of an Augesten Reep in Mecklenburg County. A comparison of the signature on the claim to the signature on the oath of abjuration in Philadelphia (from 1752) shows they are identical. In addition, the David Gottfried Uthe who lived in Wertheim in 1750-52 was a shoemaker (and son of a shoemaker), and the Gottfried Uthe who filed the claim in 1781 is also a shoemaker. Pretty convincing evidence that they are the same person.

His older son, Conrad Uthe (Coenrad Uhde) purchased 100 acres close to his father in Mecklenburg County on 7 Nov 1783.

Gottfried Uthe purchased another 74 acres of land in the same area on 2 Nov 1784.

The father and both sons are shown on the first Census of the United States (1790) in Mecklenburg County, NC - Godfryt Ourey living with his wife; Conrad Oudy with a wife, four sons and two daughters; and Barenhard Ourey with a wife, one son and two daughters. (Everything was spelled phonetically, and I've found more than 25 ways to spell the name Eudy so far!)

In 1792, Cabarrus County was formed from the eastern portion of Mecklenburg County. It "was settled entirely by Germans, the most of whom came from Pennsylvania" according to Gotthardt Dellman Bernheim's History of the German Settlements & Lutheran Church in North & South Carolina, published in 1872.

Conrad Uthe (Konrad Uhde) sold his 100 acres of land to a Herman Meyer on 14 Jan 1794 for 70 pounds. He moved to Montgomery County (which had been created in 1779 from the northern portion of Anson County; in 1841, the area to which he moved became Stanly County). He purchased 100 acres in 1794, and another 100 acres in 1799.

Gottfried's younger son, Daniel Barenhard Uthe (Barnhard Uhde) purchased 98 acres close to his father in Mecklenburg County on 10 Aug 1785, and a further 72 acres on 3 Mar 1786. Daniel was killed while riding his horse in 1795; his wife (Barbara) settled his estate on 19 Jan 1796.

Gottfried Uthe sold the 108 acres he had originally purchased to a Frederick Milster on 18 Jan 1796. Later, he moves to Montgomery County to join his son Conrad.

In the 1800 U.S. Census (of Cabarrus County), Gottfried Uthe (Godfred Uety) and his wife are shown (though her name is not given); Conrad Uthe (Conrad Oody) and his wife, six sons and three daughters are shown in Montgomery County.

In the 1810 U.S. Census (of Montgomery County), Gottfried Uthe (Got. Oary) is shown (no wife, indicating she died between 1800-1810). He is living with a young couple - probably his grandson & his wife. Gottfried Uthe does not appear in the 1820 Census, indicating he had died by then. I've not found any will, though if his wife pre-deceased him, her name likely would not be shown. While there is "family oral tradition" that one of the sons (probably Barehardt) fought in the Revolution, I've not been able to find any muster rolls or pension records to corroborate that.

If you have found any information about the early years (in Pennsylvania or perhaps Virginia or in North Carolina before or during the Revolution), and especially the source for the name Elizabeth for the wife of David Gottfried Uthe (and mother of Conrad Uthe), I would appreciate if you shared that as well.

In looking over the material I had researched in the mid-1990s while stationed in Germany regarding David Gottfried Uthe, I noticed the following details (which I had forgotten):
- The Wertheim marriage register from 1750 records that on the 16th of November of that year, "David Gottfried Uthe, shoe maker, son of Johann Nicolaus Uthe, citizen and shoe maker in the Imperial Free City of Nordhausen, was married to Anna Dorothea, daughter of Mr. Leonhard Flegler, citizen and shoe maker, member of the extraordinary Council."
- The city of Nordhausen in the modern state of Thuringia became an "Imperial Free City" in 1220, by decree of Frederick II (Holy Roman Emperor and King of Germany, Italy, Burgundy, Sicily, Cyprus and Jerusalem). In the mid-1700s, this Nordhausen was part of Saxony.
- That city is the ONLY Nordhausen that had the title "Imperial Free City." (See http://starnarcosis.net/obsidian/FreeCities.html for a list of all the Free Cities in Germany.)
- The city archives from Nordhausen (in Thuringia) records that Johann Nicolaus Uthe was a shoe maker. He became a citizen of that city on 12 October 1722. There is also an entry in the Nordhausen marriage registry (1641-1747) showing that Joh[ann] Nic[olaus] Uthe - a shoe maker - married Anna Marg[rit] Griben two weeks later on 27 October 1722.

Since the Wertheim records indicate David Gottfried Uthe was (1) the son of Johann Nicolaus Uthe, a shoe maker and citizen of the Imperial Free City of Nordhausen, and (2) there is only one "Imperial Free City" of Nordhausen (located in modern Thuringia), and (3) there are two records in that city of a Johann Nicolaus Uthe, who was a shoe maker, becoming a citizen and getting married in October 1722, I believe we have the right person in the right city at the right time.

David Gottfried Uthe was probably born in Nordhausen (in modern Thuringia), sometime between 1723 (e.g., 9 months after the marriage of Johann Nicolaus Uthe to Anna Margrit Griben) and 1729 (e.g., 21 years before he became a citizen of Wertheim).

Would need more research in the baptismal records of Nordhausen to narrow that down (presuming the records survived WWII).

Only three Uthes are listed in the Nordhausen marriage register between 1641-1747:
- Johann Andreas (date ?; became a citizen in 1710),
- Johann Nicolaus (m. 1722; became a citizen in 1722), and
- Johann Christian (became a citizen in 1759; m. 1762).

Since there is no David Gottfried Uthe listed in the marriage records of Nordhausen (up through 1747), he probably was not married before leaving (probably in 1747) to undertake his "journey" to become a master shoe maker. And since David Gottfried Uthe is not included in the list of those who became "citizens" of Nordhausen between 1685-1761 - he probably had not completed his apprenticeship and journeymanship until just before he moved to Wertheim in 1750.

Keep in mind that this "journey" (Geselle in German and journee in French), from which the modern term "journeyman" derives, was the step beyond being an apprentice (his apprenticeship would have lasted from three to as long as seven years). It allowed him to live apart from a particular master (an apprentice had to live with his master) and charge for his own work. The French word journee indicated he was paid by the day - not that he necessarily traveled. However, the "journey" to become a master shoe maker would have lasted at least two years (probably from 1747-49/50) and could have involved traveling all over Europe. It is important to note that a journeyman could get married, but could not become a citizen. Thus, he must have been a "master" (e.g., have finished his "journey") by November 1750 when he became a "citizen" of Wertheim.

As you look into this, you will discover (as I did when I was living in Germany) that there are six cities with the name Nordhausen. The Wertheim archivist said that in 1750, David Gottfried Uthe could ONLY have come from the one in the modern state of Thuringia. The other Nordhausens were "Catholic" and he could not have become a citizen of Wertheim unless he were a "Protestant." I then contacted the city archivist of Nordhausen (Post Code 99722), and he sent me information in June 1994, including an extract of the names from the citizenship rolls of that town from 1685-1761 showing eight individuals named Uthe, as follows (note that David Gottfried Uthe is NOT listed, which makes sense because he became a 'citizen' of Wertheim in November 1750):
- Uthe, Henrich Nicholaus, became a citizen on 4.4.1704 (European system is day.month.year) - Uthe, Johan Andreas, became a citizen on 16.06.1710
- Uthe, Johann Friedrich, became a citizen on 1.12.1713
- Uthe, Johann Nicolaus, became a citizen on 12.10.1722
- Uthe, Johan Jochim, became a citizen on 10.5.1728 - Uthe, Joh. Joachim, became a citizen on 16.08.1756
- Uthe, Joh. Heinrich, became a citizen on 27.09.1756 - Uthe, Joh. Christian, became a citizen on 25.05.1759

In addition, the archivist found the following names in the various Nordhausen church books:
- Ude (Udenius), Hans Joach. (tablemaker) - shown in 1681, 1694
- Uthe, Joh. Andr. - baptismal record (for a child?) 1712
- Uthe, Joh. Friedr. - baptismal record (for a child?) 1715
- Ute, Joh. Chr.
- Uthe, Joh. Nic. (shoe maker) - married to Cath. Margr. in 1722

He also copied the list of tradesmen with that surname from the same period, which included (note that David Gottfried Uthe is NOT listed, which indicates he did not have a "first" marriage before he married in Wertheim):
- Uthe, Johann Heinrich (1727-1799) - married to Anna Christina Dentzel (1756)
- Uthe, Johanne Anna (?) Magdalene (b. 1766, married 1797)
- Uthe, Johann Nicolaus (citizen 12.10.1722, married 27.10.1722 to Anna Marg. Grieben)
- Ude, Johann Ludwig (barber) (d. 1839, married Catharine Marie Klaineberg)
- Ude, Johann Joachim (citizen 16.08.1756, married 31.08.1756 to Dor. Sophie Siedenstricker)
- Ude, Joachim (son of Heinr. Nicol. Ude) (died 1898 age 78; married Marie Sophie Seidenstricker)
- Ude, Friedrich August (died 1808 age 47)
- Ude, Friedrich August (? 1791)
- Ude, Ernestine Auguste Charlotte (wife of Johann Theodor Wilhelm Mueller) - no date
- Uthe, Heinrich Nicholaus (citizen 4.4.1704)
- Uthe, Dorothea Elisabeth (b. 15.4.1759, baptized 17.4.1759, married 9.1.1783)
- Uthe, Johann Andreas (citizen 16.6.1710)
- Ute, Heinrich Nicolaus (16.6.1727 - baptism of a child ?)
- Uthe, Johann Friedrich (citizen 1.12.1713)
- Ute, Johann Christian (citizen 25.5.1759, married 31.5.1762 to Gertrud Elisabeth Karnstedt)
- Uthe, Johann Heinrich (b. 16.6.1727, d. 19.6.1799, married 16.9.1756 to Johanna Christiana Tenzel)
- Ute, Johann Heinrich (baptized 16.6.1727, d. 19.5.1799, married 16.9.1756 to Anna Christina Dentzel (same as the record above, but a second entry with a different spelling of the name)
- Ude, Dorothee Elisabeth, wife of Johann Christoph Scharfe (d. 4.11.1793 age 34 years)
- Ude, Adam (b. 5.4.1772, married to Augustine Sophie Christina Sender, died 1814
- Ude, Johan Adam (d. 27.8.1836, age 64 years); son of Johan Andreas Gottleib (b. ?, d. 1806)
- Ude, Johann Adam (d. 1.7.1808, age 50 years, married to Auguste Sophie Justine Panke)
- Uhde, Joh. Elenore Christiane, wife of Johann Heinrich Carl Gruendler (married 2.12.1821)
- Ude, Joh. Catharine (widow of the shoe maker Johann Christoph Schwendler), d. 7.7.1801
- Uhte, Johann Jochim (citizen 10.5.1728)
- Ude, Marie Friederike (born Thomas), d. 15.9.1818, age 41 years)
- Uthe, Johann Heinrich (b. 16.6.1727, d. 19.6.1799, married 16.9.1756 to Johanna Christiane Tenzel) (third listing for this individual)
- Ute, Johann Heinrich (b. 16.6.1727, married 16.9.1756 to Anna Christiana Dentzel, citizen 27.9.1756 (fourth listing for this individual)
- Uthe (no first name), shoe maker, b. ?, d. ?, m. ? to Gertrude Elisabeth Karnstedt (probably the Johann Christian Ute shown above)

Given the extensive list of individuals with the Uthe / Ude / Uhde surname in this particular Nordhausen, and the admonition of the Wertheim archivist that this was the "only" one of the Nordhausens from which David Gottfried Uthe could have come, I did not pursue any of the others.

The Nordhausen that is south of Wertheim was part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in the mid 1700s - and that was a Roman Catholic state. Wertheim, on the other hand, was park of the Kingdom of Saxony - which was Protestant.

As you may know, the "modern" states of Germany do not reflect the earlier boundaries of the various German principalities (any more than the modern border of Louisiana reflects the border of the Louisiana Purchase, or the modern border of Texas reflects the border of the Texas Republic).

It seems to me that there are at least four possibilities regarding the mother of Conrad & Barenhard Uthe (sons of David Gottfried Uthe):
From the church archives of Wertheim, we know that David Gottfried Uthe (a shoe maker who came to Wertheim from Nordhausen) married Anna Dorothea Flegler on 16 Nov 1750. Later that month, having met all the requirements, he became a "citizen" (Burger) of Wertheim.
(According to the Wertheim archivist, citizenship in that city at that time required that a man be more than 20 years old, a master at his trade, have completed his apprentice journey (of 2 years), be married, be Lutheran, and have at least 200 Guilden in assets.)

It is possible that when David Gottfried Uthe came to Wertheim in 1750, he already had a son by a former marriage (in Nordhausen?), but there is no indication in the archives of that city of such a marriage or of anyone named Conrad or Barenhard / Barnhart Uthe - by any possible spelling. Likewise, when he applied to the Prince of Saxony for manumission and permission to go to Pennsylvania, he asked on behalf of himself, his wife (who was sickly) and his half-year old child (which would be his daughter) -- but didn't mention any other children. Thus, I consider this unlikely (though I cannot rule it out completely).

The death register for Wertheim indicates that Anna Dorothea's father (Johann Leonhard Flegler) died in 1751 at the age of 72 years, 7 months, and was buried on 31 January. He had been married three times, with all his wives dying before he did. He had one son and four daughters by his first marriage (to Anna Christina Arnd) and two sons and two daughters (including Anna) by his second marriage (to Anna Justina Schlund), with no children by his third wife (Anna Catharina Ares). Not sure what, if anything, Anna & David Gottfried Uthe would have inherited upon his death.

Later that year, on 19 July 1751, a daughter (Agatha Sophia) was born to David Gottfried Uthe and his wife Anna Dorothea (only 8 months after they had been married). She was baptized the following day.

According to the Wertheim archivist, this is the ONLY child recorded as having been born to the couple in the Wertheim church records.

In the Wertheim city archives from 1751 is the statement that "von David Gottfr. U. ist nicts gefallen, weil sein Vermoegen in nichts bestanden. Ist nach Pennsylvanien gezogen." ("From David Gottfr[ied] U[the] nothing was received, as his fortune no longer exists. [He is] moving to Pennsylvania.")

In the Wertheim city archives from 10 May 1752 is a record of manumission (freeing from obligation) of a "Samuel Gottfried Uthe," shown as a shoemaker who was in "wretched circumstances due to the illness of his wife which eroded his fortune." The archives show that he was emigrating, with his wife and child, to Pennsylvania. Because he was so poor, he was charged only 1 Floren as a departure tax. O. OLangguth (Auswanderer aus der Graftschaft Wertheim) believes this is the same person as the David Gottfried Uthe mentioned in the previous paragraph, since there is NO record in the Wertheim church archives of anyone named "Samuel" Gottfried Uthe (according to the archivist, David Gottfried Uthe was the ONLY individual by that surname that he had EVER seen in the city records looking back over 400 years of records). The old Germanic script used in the record of manumission is really difficult to read, even for someone fluent in modern German (sort of like trying to read middle or old English handwriting), and the name could be "Daniel Gottfried Uthe" rather than "Samuel Gottfried Uthe" - but it is definitely not "David." However, it was written by a clerk in the court of the Prince, and is not signed by the applicant -- so there may have been an error.

There is NO record that either Anna Dorothea nor her daughter Agatha Sophia died or were buried in Wertheim before David departed for Pennsylvania. The next positive document is the log of the passengers aboard the ship Phoenix when it arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam in November 1752. (The passenger lists of individuals departing Rotterdam were all destroyed during the heavy bombing of that city in WWII.) The log of passengers shows a David Gottfried Uthe, but with no indication of a wife or child. Several families are listed (naming the wife and children, or at least indicating that there are wives and children) on that passenger manifest. There are at least three other individuals from Wertheim listed (Johan Henrich Moench, Michael Dinckel, and Johann Phillip Buch), and several others from nearby towns.

There is no other listing of anyone named Conrad / Barenhard Uthe (or any other possible spelling) on the Phoenix, nor on any other manifest of a ship arriving in Philadelphia in the 1750s.

The oath of abjuration was signed on 2 November 1752 by the adult male passengers of the Phoenix (foreswearing loyalty to any foreign power or prince), including David Gottfried Uthe (who appears to have actually signed his name, rather than making his "mark"). There are no signatures by any women, but that is hardly surprising.

There is no listing of anyone named Conrad Uthe (or any other possible spelling) on the list of signatories - but he would (supposedly) have still been a child.

If Anna Dorothea died either on the trip up the Main / Rhine Rivers, or during the voyage across the ocean, then David Gottfried Eudy may have remarried once he arrived in Pennsylvania, and may have had one or more sons by a second wife.

There is only one record of a marriage by anyone with a name similar to Uthe (Eudy) that I've been able to find to date, and that took place on 4 February 1757, when a David Etien married Catharine Lamb at the First Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

On 4 February 1757, a David Etien married Catharine Lamb at the First Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is believed to be this same man. Their children are said to be:

1. Susanna, 1758
2. Elizabeth, 1760-1861, married William Henry Lowder
3. Johann Heinrich, 1763-1847

Less than a year later, there is the record of the birth (2 Jan 1758) and baptism (16 April 1758) of Susan Etie, daughter of David and Catharine. I do not know if David Etien / Etie is the same person as David Gottfried Uthe, but having found 25+ different ways to spell what is now the name Eudy, I believe Etie is definitely a possibility.

It is possible that David Gottfried Uthe re-married sometime between 1752 and 1757 and had one or two sons by a second wife, who might then have died, perhaps in childbirth. (Note that his father-in-law, Johann Leonhard Flegler, had three wives die on him - and he was living in the well-established city of Wertheim, not on the wild frontier of Pennsylvania.)

It is also possible that Catherine Lamb had a son (Conrad?) by a previous marriage. It is possible that David & Catherine had two sons born after Susan (e.g., after 1758). So I postulate the following possibilities:
- (1) David Gottfried Uthe had a son by a previous marriage before coming to Wertheim in 1750
-- This is unlikely, as there is no record of a marriage / birth in Nordhausen, he would have had difficulty earning a living while an apprentice, and he didn't apply to depart with two children (or which a child that was more than 2 years old)
- (2) Anna Dorothea survived the trip and had two sons sometime between 1752-1757
-- If she really was so ill when they left Wertheim in 1752 that it merited mention in the records, this seems unlikely to me
- (3) David Gottfried Uthe married a second time in Pennsylvania (between 1752-1757) to an unknown individual and had one (possibly two) son(s)
-- This seems possible, given the age of Conrad Oody shown on the 1800 & 1810 census, though I have yet to find any record of such a marriage / birth
- (4) David [Gottfried] Uthe (Etie) married in Pennsylvania (1757) to Catherine Lamb, and she either had a son by a previous marriage or bore him one or more sons sometime in 1759 or later.
-- This seems possible for Barenhard / Barnhart Oudy, but less likely for Conrad

My inclination is to believe:
- Anna Dorothea died somewhere between Wertheim and Philadelphia (as did Agatha Sophia)
- David married a second time (~ 1753) in Pennsylvania and had a son (Conrad, born about 1754-55) or two sons (Conrad & Barenhard)
- His second wife died (perhaps in childbirth or due to some other ailment)
- David married a third time (to Catherine Lamb in 1757) and had a daughter (Susan, born in 1758) and, perhaps, a son (Barenhard, born in 1759 or later).

If you have any specifics regarding the birth dates of Conrad Oody and Barenhard Oudy, or the name of David Gottfried Uthe's wife, I would appreciate them. So far, all I have are estimates counting back from their supposed age during the 1790, 1800, 1810 censuses - and that doesn't narrow it down very much.

- On the 1790 Census:
-- Godfryt Ourey is over 16 (e.g., born < 1774) and lives with his wife (no children are residing with them)
-- Conrad Oudy is over 16 (e.g., born < 1774) and has his wife, four sons (under 16) and two daughters at home
-- Barenhard Ourey is over 16 (e.g., born < 1774) and has his wife, one son (under 16) and two daughters at home
(The fact that Conrad has more children than Barenhard allows us to speculate that he is the older of the two - e.g., he married first - but there is no proof of that. The census categories for 1790 simply don't provide sufficient information to speculate on year of birth.)

- On the 1800 Census:
-- Gotfred Uety and his wife are over 45 (e.g., born <1755) with no children at home
-- Conrod Oudy and his wife are over 45 (e.g., born <1755) and have 6 sons & 3 daughters -- Barenhard is not shown (having died in 1796)
(Again, the 1800 census categories simply don't give much in the way of data to allow one to speculate on when someone was born - Conrad could have been born in 1754, 55, 56 or as much as a decade earlier.)

- On the 1810 Census:
-- Got. Oary (no wife listed) with two males (one under 10, one 16-26) and one female (16-26) -- Conrad Oody & his wife are over 45 and have 5 sons and 2 daughters at home

David Gottfried Uthe died sometime after the 1810 Census. Source: Eric

Norristown [PA]: Pennsylvania German Society, 1934. 3 vols. Vols. 1 and 3 reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1964. Repr. 1983. Vol. 1. 1727-1775. 776p. Source annotation: Contains 29,800 names, with annotations written by Krebs (see no. 4203). Various references to the names in Strassburger will be found in other listings, mostly where authors have attempted to line up their information with that in Strassburger. This work (often referred to as Strassburger and Hinke) is much superior to no. 7820, Rupp, and no. 1804, Egle. It forms a revision with additions to Rupp and Egle, and was prepared and edited with great accuracy. Vol. 1 contains captains' lists, 1727-1775; vol. 2 has facsimiles of all signatures of signers of oaths of allegiance and oaths of abjuration, and was not included in the G.P.C. reprint; vol. 3 has captains' lists from 1785-1808, and indexes to captains, ships, ports of departure, and surnames in all volumes. The set was originally vols. 42-44 of the Pennsylvania German Society Proceedings. Source: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index
