The probate records of Licking County: pg 90 - 24 May 1837-show Michael Trout, deceased. His heirs: Catherine, Helen, Margaret. Guardian John Westbrook

Possible ancestor:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/TROUT_DNA_Research_Project/default.aspx#lines
Line #1. _____ Johann Wendel Georg TRAUT (1689-1760) of Paradise Twp, near Strasburg, Lancaster, PA arrived Philadelphia 5 Sep 1738 on the ship "Winter Galley" from Kleinfischlingen, Südliche Weinstraße (near the free city of Landau), Electoral Palatinate, Holy Roman Empire (Strassberger - List #52; PTA-E.1). This is a very well-researched line that is perhaps best documented by Geo. E. Trout, 250 Year History Trout Family (Closson Press, Apollo, PA, 1991). Numerous bio-sketches of descendants in this line have been published in various local county histories. DNA Reference Line: Y-DNA Testing by well-documented descendants, Jerre Penn Trout 3rd and David Henry Trout, has resulted in double-validation of the Y-DNA Reference Line (signature Haplotype) for Line #1, and their 37-marker test results are posted below in turquoise-colored Match Cluster-B. Y-DNA testing has also now predicted Line #1 as being Haplogroup “R1b1b2.”; Accordingly, all (21) members of turquoise-colored Match Cluster-B in our study are now proven to be in some way directly related to Johann Wendel Georg TRAUT (1689-1760) of near Strasburg, Lancaster, PA.

Re: Westmoreland Co, PA Trouts 1780s
By N. Trout June 09, 2001 at 02:17:59
In reply to: Re: Brethren Trout Line--early 1700s Trouts
6/08/01
You mentioned that your earliest known Trout ancestor was Michael Trout, born circa 1779 in Westmoreland Co, PA.You thought he might be Irish.In my opinion, it would be more likely that your Trouts were German.Trout derives from Traut, and they were from Germany.

To my knowledge, there were only one batch of Trouts in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania at or around the time you state your Michael Trout was born there.All of these Trouts stem from Johann Wendel George Traut (1689-1760), who married Appolonia Steinlin.They immigrated to America from Germany on 5 Sep 1738.One of their sons was named Michael Trout (1730-1780).

Michael Trout married Elizabeth Berger (1735-1775).I would guess that this Michael was the grandfather of your Michael Trout.Michael and Elizabeth Trout initially lived in the Strasburg Township of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.They moved to the Bart Township of Lancaster Co, PA by at least 1756.Four of their sons subsequently moved to Westmoreland County, PA.I would assume that one of these men was the father of your Michael. A couple of them did have sons by the name of Michael, although none fit your 1779 date.Maybe there really was no "Michael" born in 1779 but the prominence of the grandfather's name somehow got mixed into the family history.I don't have any record of if any of the descendants went to Cambria Co, PA.

At any rate, their first son to go to Westmoreland County was Henry Michael Trout.He was born on 12 February 1757 in the Bart Township of Lancaster County, PA; he died in 1812.Henry served as an Ensign in the Revolutionary Army, and as a result, he received some land in Westmoreland Co, PA.He eloped with his new bride, Catharine Bossart (b. 17 Sep 1765; daughter of John and Catherine Bossart of the Hamilton Township near Chambersburg, PA), in June of 1782.They moved to the East Huntington Township of Westmoreland Co, PA.They had 12 children there, one of whom was named Michael Trout (1788-1822); he married Sarah Baker in 1819.Could this be your Michael?

Michael and Elizabeth's fourth son, George Trout, also moved to Westmoreland County.George was also born in the Bart Twp of Lancaster Co, PA in 1762; he died in 1829 in Perry Co, OH.He married Margaret Ziegler (b. 1771) in 1788, and at about that time, they moved to the South Huntington Twp of Westmoreland Co, PA.By 1812, they had moved to Perry Co, OH.However, before that time, they, too, had a son named Michael, who was born in 1809.However, this seems too late to be your Michael; furthermore, he moved to Ohio.

Another son named Philip, also born in the Bart Twp on 4 Apr 1765, moved to the Mount Pleasant Twp of Westmoreland Co, PA with his wife, Susanna Schroeder around 1788.They, too, had a son who they named Michael.He was born in 1803.Again, this was probably too late to be your Michael.

Finally, Michael and Elizabeth's last son to move to Westmoreland County was named Jacob.He was born on 3 Sept 1772 and moved to Westmoreland County some time after 1780.

All these sons had children.If your Trouts can be traced to Westmoreland County near about 1780, then my guess would be that they are somehow related to the aforementioned children or grandchildren of Michael and Elizabeth (Berger) Trout.

Good luck!

Sincerely,
N. Trout

Michael married Sarah or Sally Baker on 4 Feb 1819 in , Licking, Ohio, United States. Sarah was born about 1802 in Pennsylvania, United States; died on 13 Apr 1878 in Deep River, Poweshiek, Iowa, United States; was buried in Dresden Cemetary. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
