Henry Guth, father of Amos, settled in South Whitehall township, where he learned the stone mason's trade and later engaged in farming. During the war of 1812-14 he served at Marcus Hook, and for this service received from the United State Government a tract of forty acres of land. It is believed that he served but three months when honorably discharged. He died Jan. 1, 1865, aged about sixty-nine years, his wife, Catherine Hoffman, July 17, 1849. Their children were: Eliza, Calvin, Flora, Horace and Amos S. By his first wife, whose maiden name was Hammon, Mr. Guth had two children, Deborah and Levi.

Note for: Eddalena Guth, 10 JUN 1829 - Index

     Date:   29 JUL 1829
     Place:   Guthsville, Lehigh County, PA (Jordon Reformed Church)

Individual Note:   The Baptism record at Jordon's Reformed Church in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, PA shows the sponsors as Reuben and Dinah Kern. The church record also has a handwritten " " next to this entry. I am assuming that this means the proofreader rechecked the records due to the strangeness of the name and was indicating that it had been transcribed correctly. Through other research sources, it appears she used Flora as her name.
