Spelled both Casper and Kasper. Son of Johann Mieth and Clara Como. 7th child of Johann Mieth.

Husband of Margaretha Elizabeth Mueth (1809-1852) and Eva Armbruster Mueth (1827-1910).

Children with Margaretha: Amalia, August, John, and Maria.

Children with Eva: Katherine, Charles (Carl), Joseph, Nikolaus, Elizabeth, Philip, Franciska (Frances), Andrew (Andreas), Margaret (Margaretha), and Eliza.

Brothers who also immigrated to the U.S.:
August Mueth
Joseph Peter Mueth.

The Mueth (Muth) family were pioneers in the St. Louis, MO and the Paderborn, IL areas. Tombstones dating back to the year 1800 with the name Muth on them can be found at Paderborn.

Casper (Kaspar) Mueth immigrated to North America June 16, 1840, New Orleans, ship Hermitage from La Havre.

Caspar Mueth is rumored to have owned a tract of forty acres of land in what is now the heart of downtown St. Louis around the old court house where slaves were sold in pre-Civil War days. However, no documentation of this has been found.

Some of the Mueths left St. Louis because of illness and also because St. Louis was growing into a large city and they chose to continue with farming.

Casper Mueth came to Illinois about 1857. He purchased the Adam Blentz farm on April 1, 1857. In 1882, Kaspar took a short cut through the pasture and was gored in the stomach by a sheep buck. It threw him against a fence and kicked him to death.
