"From the Rhine to the Shenandoah"
Christian was listed in a Mennonite census list in 1724 as a miller at Otterbery
By 1738, the Mennonites included the "Widow Beutler" and her son Jacob.
In 1743, Jacob's family included his wife, 2 daughters and his "old mother", by 1753, his mother was deceased.
The children of Christian Beutler have been tentatively identified by piecing together the follings facts: Peter Beutler married Catherina Brenneman at Enkenbach, near Otterbery in 1729. Christian Beutler, 24 with wife Susanna amd an Elizabeth Beutler, age 22, arrived in Philadelphia in 1832 and on 4/4/1873, Peter, Christian and Ulrich Beydler, all of Phil. Co, were naturalized by affirmation, "being such who conscientiously scruple to take an oath."
