The Motz Family
Name Origin: GERMANY, FRANCE
Motz is more than likely an occupational name in origin, coming from the Middle High German word "Mutze" which refers to a type of white bread. In this case the original bearer of the name was more than likely a baker.
Our (cdloftin@charter.net) Motz ancestors seem to have come from France and Germany.
Maria Catherine Motz married Johannes Wilhelm Herman.
In the US the states with the largest number of Motz families are New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, but there are also sizeable groups in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Montana.

Hans Jacob Motz
Born: Abt. 1704, Lampertsloch, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, FRANCE

Hans Jacob Motz was born about 1704 in Lampertsloch, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, FRANCE. He was the son of Hans Diebolt Motz and Anna Catharina Bubel.
Hans Jacob Motz was married, perhaps twice. Some records indicate his wife's names were Susanna Cuntz and Anna Barbara Schwartz.
Hans Jacob Motz had a daughter, Maria Catherine Motz, but there seem to be some discrepancies to her birth date and location. Some records says she was born in Hessen, Germany in 1734. Others say she was born in Lampertsloch, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France, in 1746.
Maria Catherine Motz married Johannes Wilhelm Herman on 27 Dec 1757.
On 16 Oct 1766 Hans Jacob Motz, along with his son-in-law Johannes Wilhelm Herman and their families, boarded the Ship Palladium with Ship Master Richard Hunter, and sailed for America, where they landed in the port at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Introduction
This web site is devoted to the descendants & ancestors of Paulser Whetsel & Sarah Dove. Paulser & Sarah lived, for a time, on Bays Mt., in Sullivan Co., TN . They raised 9 children: James H. Whetsel; Martha R. Whetsel; Mary E. (Marietta) Whetsel, wife of James Ledbetter; John Whetsel; Susan Elizabeth Whetsel, wife of James Rowland, and later, Adam Brown; Sarah M. Whetsel; Solomon Whetsel, who married Abigale Crawford; and Conard William Whetsel, who married Nannie Catherine Davis.
Sarah Dove's father, James Dove, was a veteran of the War of 1812. A monument stands at the grave site in Rockingham County, Virginia, honoring the service of James to his country. It can be seen at:

Paulser Whetsel & his family lived in a log cabin, on Bays Mountain, where they depended upon the land for their existence. The cabin in the photo above, was the home of the Ledbetter family. Paulser's daughter married the Rev. James Ledbetter. The cabin has been moved and restored by a Ledbetter descendant. The photo is used with permission of the photographer and the Ledbetter family. A map showing the cabins on Bays Mt. is at:

Paulser Whetsel's siser, Sarah (Sally) Wetzel/Whetsel, married Paulser Moyer. Sarah and Paulser Moyer's daughter, Catherine, married Captain James M. May, a Civil War soldier. Catherine and James May's son, Henry B. May, migrated from Virginia to Guatemala, where he was instrumental in the development of the Inter-continental railway. Henry Braxton May's descendants today, carry his name, Enrique (Henry) Braxton May.
For more information on the May family, go to "May" in the index.
Paulser was a descendant of Hans Martin (Martin) WETZEL and Maria Barbara GEIST, who arrived in America, aboard the "Britannia," in 1731, from Preuschdorf, France. One of the sons of Martin WETZEL was John WETZEL, known as "Captain John." Captain John WETZEL & his sons were colorful, interesting characters from the days of the American frontier, the Indian uprisings, The American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. To learn more about these Wetzels, go to the INDEX, and click on: Captain John WETZEL; Jacob Wetzel; and Lewis Wetzel.
Martin WETZEL and his family were affiliated with the Lutheran Church, in Preuschdorf, and in Pennsylvania.
