Note: From "Somerset Past" a History and Genealogy of Somerset County, Pennsylvania Vol III #3, Page 13 Charles and Conrad Moots are named in a suit in Somerset County, Pennsylvania at the June Term in 1798. They were brought to court by Ashman Ridgely in a Civil Suit - likely some sort of monetary claim. (No further information on this case - it is significant only because it shows that they were in Pennsylvania in the summer of 1798)
Moots brothers who came to Champaign and Logan Counties in Ohio were supposedly from Lancaster PA
Lancaster, PA was originally settled in 1742, In 1730 it became a city and in 1818 it became the county seat.
