Descendants of Anthony Roth

Generation No. 1

1. ANTHONY¹ ROTH^1,^2,³ was born 1729 in Swabia, Wurttemberg, Germany, and died 29 Dec 1784 in Manchester Township, York Co., PA. He married (1) ( ? ) ( ?) ETTINGER⁴ Bef. 1748, daughter of JOHANN MICHAEL EDINGER. He married (2) MAGDALENA BURKHOLDER^5,⁶ Abt. 1752, daughter of HANS BURKHOLDER and ANNA HERR. She was born 1730 in Pennsylvania, and died 1799 in Rockingham Co., VA.

Notes for ANTHONY ROTH:
Immigrated in 1752 to the port of Philadelphia on ship
"Neptune" with friends Johann Ludwig Leib and Johann Jacob
Wolff
See notes in Burial section on Anthony Roth
Arrived to America with a Philip Jacob Roth. Presumed to
have been his brother by many. However, NO EVIDENCE EXISTS to
support this conclusion.

Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate that Anthony may have had two wives. The first would have been the mother of Henry-- if he was truly born in 1748. The second appears to have been Magdalena Burkholder. Evidence for Magdalena being a Burkholder is the will of Henry and Magdalena's son Anthony. Anthony Roth (1765-1806), had that $100.00 be directed to his Cousin Christian Burkholder. This Christian Burkholder would have been a nephew of Magdalena. This Christian was further in Rockingham County/Augusta County at that time. Therefore, it is a plausible supposition.

Eventhough the existence of a first wife is unclear, I have listed her as the mother of Henry and retain the speculation that she may have been an Ettinger. THIS IS ENTIRELY SPECULATION!!!

Edinger
Her name is listed as Magdalena Johanna per same source

Please be advised that the evidence for the existence of a first wife to Anthony is circumstantial. As Anthony shared land ownership with Philip Ettinger, it has been assumed that Anthony married a daughter of Philip. This appears even more suspect as evidence seems to indicate that Philip would have been a Brother not a Father to this speculated first wife. Many assumed that the wife was Magdalena the mother of all or all but one (Henry) of Anthony's children. Evidence is stronger to support that Magdalena was a Burkholder than an Ettinger.

Notes for MAGDALENA BURKHOLDER:
Evidence for Magdalena being a Burkholder is the will of Henry and Magdalena's son Anthony. Anthony Roth (ca. 1761-1806), had that $100.00 be directed to his Cousin Christian Burkholder. This Christian Burkholder would have been a nephew of Magdalena. This Christian was further in Rockingham County/Augusta County at that time. Therefore, it is a plausible supposition. The fact that Magdalena lived with and was buried with Frederick and not Henry in her later years could be argued as further support of her connection to Frederick and not Henry.

Other than the will of Anthony Roth of 1765, my primary source for Magdalena being a Burkholder is Richard Warren Davis at mennosearch.com. He has provided me with the Burkholder connection.
