3 Nov 1800 - George Ruth, son of George Ruth petitioned the Orphan's Court to appoint a different guardian. John Moot had been assigned.
"Petitioner begs leave to state he was persuaded by the above named John Moot to chose him the said Moot for his Guardian and to keep it a secret from his Brother and Relations and that but for the persuation of the said John Moot he never should have made choice of him - that the said John Moot is a Lutheran and your Petitioner is a Presbyterian and that the said John Moot has taken no care of your Petitioner - notwithstanding your Petitioner has repeatedly requested the said John Moot to procure him a place to go to a trade the said John has hereunto neglected to do so - your Petitioner therefore prays your honours would be pleased to appoint Jacob Barren of Springfield Twp. Guardian to take care of his person and Estate in the room of John Moot - your Petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray."
On Motion of John Ross court direct a citation to John Moot to show cause if any he has why he should not be removed from the guardianship of George Ruth.

Notes for PETER RUTH:
"....Peter was enrolled with the Springfield Company of Associators (Revolutionary War Volunteers) on Aug. 21, 1775. He was a private in Capt. Christopher Wigner's company of militia in 1781. He was assessed as a taxable in Springfield Twp., in 1779; in 1784 he was rated for 100 acres, 2 dwellings, 2 outhouses and 7 members in his family. On Aug. 4, 1791, he purchased from John Barclay, 109 acres and 88 perches for L 100, on which he and his family were already residing. This homestead was located along the public road leading from Bursonville to Cressman's Mill, about a mile from the former place.
"This is along the Northern edge of the trap rock region. On May 10, 1833, Mary Ruth, widow, renounced right of administering the Estate of her deceased husband in favor of her son, Samuel Ruth and Jonas Cressman. Instead of signing her name, she affixed her "mark," an "X" a very common custom for those who were unschooled or unable because of age or ill health. These administrators sold of the estate, 102 acres and 50 perches to Anthony Amey and wife Hannah, inn-keeper, of Rockhill Twp., of which Amey on the same date(Apr. 4, 1834) sold 60 acres and 43 perches to Abraham Gehman. On Apr. 19, 1834, the administrators conveyed 10 acres and 145 perches to Joseph Ruth and wife Sarah. This was evidently later the property of Ephraim Beidleman. There were 11 children."
