George Detro
The Detro (Dutro, Dutroe, Duddero, Dutterer, and several other spellings of the name have been found in the records. The family originated in Germany and emigrated to this country in the first half of the 1700s, arriving in the port of Philadelphia, and living in Colebrook Dale, Berks County, Pennsylvania before moving into Frederick County Maryland before 1734. Maryland was one of the few places where colonists could enjoy religious freedom. The county was still wilderness when they arrived, and twenty years later when The French and Indian War broke out, raids upon its settlers were still common. Fort Frederick was erected there in 1756 to aid in the protection of the settlers. The Detros were still there when the American Revolution began. The 1778 tax list shows George Duttereo living in the Monocacy Hundred. He was taxed for owing 6 horses, 7 cattle, 6 hogs, 10 sheep, and 140 acres amounting to a total valuation of 324 pounds and 10 shillings. George married Mary Catherine Kriegbaum (aka Kirchbaum) on 1 January 1782 at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Frederick, Maryland. Mary Catherine was a daughter of Johannes Conrad Kriegbaum and Anna Maria Baltzell. George and Mary eventually had eight children: Jacob, Mary Catherine, Susanna Catherine, Margaret, George, Jr., William, Elizabeth and Ruth. By 1802, George, Mary, and their children left Maryland to settle in the newly opened Ohio country. George’s brothers and their wives and families traveled with them. They were among some of the earliest settlers in Muskingum County. Between them they owned a substantial amount of property, contributed to the development and growth of the county.
