Frederick Huth may be the father of Michael Huth/Hoot.
Frederick Huth may have been scalped by Indians, 1755, but we need more proof. I fear Jean Morris may have one Frederick Hoeth/Heath, massacred 10 December 1755, identified incorrectly as our Frederick Hut/Huth/Hoot. I plan to give the benefit of the doubt and leave the name Frederick Hut/Huth as the father of Michael Hut/Huth/Hoot, but give a disclaimer regarding the accuracy of the information.

In describing "early worship life", Hively* states on pp. 20-21:
"Although travel was tedious, roads few and ill kept, families of this
time traveled frequently and over considerable distances for worship opportu-
nities. For example, Caleb Low, Philip Steltz' son-in-law, who lived on a
farm east of 'The Great York to Baltimore Road' - some seven miles away on
the southeastern edge of Shrewsbury township, had his children baptized at
Bethlehem, despite the distance. Philip Steltz, Sr. lived some five miles
south of the first church at his tavern in Middletown, [MD], yet was active
in church life."* PARISH RESEARCH: EARLY PATTERNS OF CHURCH GROWTH - STELTZ REGION, CODORUS
