GENEALOGY OF THE MOHLER/MOLER/MOULDER/FAMILY OF DIEGTEN, BASELLAND, SWITZERLAND AND NORTH CAROLINA

The information on this MOHLER line was made possible through y-DNA
research. Matches between various branches proved their being related
to each other. Knowing that DNA proved they were related led to the
records that showed how these families were related.

For those on Facebook that are interested in the families, there is a page at:
Mohler-Moler-Moulder DNA Project

Valentine (born say 1740) and John MOLER [MOULDER] (born ca 1733) of NC
by tradition were brothers. Also by "tradition" they were the sons of a
Henry. Of interest was that a Henry MOLER of Frederick Co., MD had a will
proved in 1797 in which he had named sons Jacob, John and Valentine.
Nothing had been found to either prove or disprove whether the NC men
were the sons of this Henry. Some researchers believed that the son
Valentine was the Valentine MOLER that appeared in 1790 York Co., PA.

The Valentine in 1790 York County was listed next to Clement STUDIBAKER.²⁷
On 4 April 1772 Henry MOHLER of Berwick Township, York Co. and his wife
Catherine had sold 90 acres to Valentine PRIZZLE [his son-in-law] that was
adjacent to Clement STUDEBERGER.²⁸ Valentine MOLER had 1 white male over
age 16 and 1 female. No estate record has been found for Jacob, son of Henry,
and all of his children are not known. It is believed that the Valentine
in 1790 York Co. had just married, was a son of Jacob, and remained in
York Co. when his father Jacob and grandfather Henry moved to Frederick
Co., MD between 1785 and 1790.

Other researchers have claimed that Henry's son Valentine died testate in
1807 Frederick Co., MD with a will written as Valentine "MOLLER." The
actual will is for Valentine MOTTER.²⁹ The accounts of his estate also
confirm that the name was MOTTER.³⁰ He had appeared in the 1790 Frederick Co.
census as Valentine MOTTOR³¹ and in 1800 as Valentine MORTAR.³²

In June and July 2008 a descendant of Henry MOLER (1780-1855), believed
son of Valentine MOLER [MOULDER] who died about 1804 in Iredell Co., NC
and a descendant of John MOLER/MOHLAR [MOULDER] of NC, DNA tested with
Family Tree DNA and matched at 36 of 37 markers, proving that they were
related.

It was found that they matched with MOHLERs that had previously tested
with DNA Heritage. They had tested 43 markers, of which 32 were shared
by the FTNDA 37 marker test.
Those matches were with descendants of:
Ludwig MOHLER 1696-1754 of Lancaster Co., PA
Henry MOHLER say 1700-1769 of Lancaster Co., PA
Henry MOLER 1711-1797 of Frederick Co., MD through his son Jacob

Those results from both companies are listed on the Mohler DNA Comparisons page.

The Henry who died in 1769 left a will,³³ so it was known that the NC
John and Valentine were not children of him. He named no son Valentine,
and his son John was underage when it was written.

Ludwig MOHLER has only one proved son at the present time, that being
Ludwig, Jr. With the DNA match, it is believed that John and Valentine
MOLER of NC are the sons of Henry MOLER who died in Frederick Co., MD.

The Henry of MD was the one who named sons John and Valentine in his
will for which no paper trail had been found as to the identity of
those sons. It was known that this Henry Mohler and wife Catharina
were from Hassloch, [now] Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, where their son
Johan Jacob was baptised in 1736. In his 1734 marriage there, Henry was
listed as the son of the deceased Mathes MOHLER of Basel. Henry himself
was baptized at Hassloch in 1711 as the son of Mathes MOHLER and wife
Cretha" [Margretha]. In baptisms there for children of Mathes MOHLER, he
was listed as from Switzerland. Mathes MOHLER died at Hassloch in 1712
and was listed as age 65.

In addition to the DNA matches above, a MOHLER who lives in Switzerland
who had previously tested with FTDNA, descended from Veith MOHLER of
Diegten, Baselland, Switzerland. The ancestry of Mathes MOHLER who died
in 1712 has also been found to be a descendant of Veith MOHLER.

A video of Diegten is here.

The Diegten Church Books contained records of a Matthiss MOHLER who
married in 1692 to Margretha STRUB. No records of this couple were
found at Diegten after 1696. Baptismal records for their children
identified Matthiss as the son of Marti[n] MOHLER. It was found that
Matthiss had a first marriage in 1673 to Anna Buser. In baptismal
records of their children, he was also listed as Marti's son.

Two men named Matthiss MOHLER, both born to men named Martin MOHLER,
were baptized in Feb. 1647. The first was baptized 2 Feb. 1647, the
son of Martin MOHLER and Anna Hägler.²⁵ Other baptisms of children of
this Martin identified him as Jacob's son.

The second Matthiss was baptized on 28 Feb. 1647, the son of Martin
MOHLER, the kirchmeÿers son and Elsbeth MEYER. Other baptisms of
children of this Martin identified him as the son of Baschi [Baschen].
This second Matthis was married on 19 Sep. 1668 as Matthis Mohler,
the kilchmeÿers son to Maria Geörgi.²⁵

That would mean the Matthis MOHLER who married first Anna BUSER
and second Margareth Strub was the Matthis baptized on 2 Feb. 1647, the
son of Martin MOHLER and Anna Hägler.

The ancestry of the Swiss tester is the line of:
Veith MOHLER
Hans MOHLER b. ca. 1560 and Magdalena FREY
Jacob MOHLER 1590-1653 and Elsbeth BIDERKER who was from Neuendorf
Johannes MOHLER 1635-1713 and Barbara BUSER

To summarize the evidence regarding this line:
1. Jacob, John and Valentine, sons of Heinrich/Henry MOHLER/MOLER of
Hassloch, Germany and Frederick Co., MD had a DNA match.
2. The marriage of Heinrich MOHLER in 1734 at Hassloch stated he was
the son of the deceased Mathes MOHLER of "Basol."
3. Heinrich MOHLER was born in 1711 at Hassloch to Mathes MOHLER
"of Switzerland," and wife Margretha.
4. Mathes MOHLER died in 1712 at Hassloch at "age 65."
5. Heinrich/Henry's sons John and Valentine had a DNA match
with a MOHLER descended from the MOHLER family of Diegten,
Baselland, Switzerland.
6. Matthiss MOHLER, son of Martin MOHLER was born at Diegten in 1647.
7. Matthiss MOHLER, [born 1647] secondly married at Diegten in 1692
to Margreth STRUB.
8. The latest record of Matthiss and Margreth found at Diegten was in
1696.
9 The first year of extant Hassloch records was 1700, and Mathes and
Margretha had a daughter born there that year.

Vit MOHLER of Diegten, Baselland, Switzerland had a wife named Sabina.
Vit was living as of 1581 when he was the untervogt,⁴¹ and Sabina was
living as of 1576.⁴¹

At the baptism of his children Anna Maria in 1734, Johannes in 1739,
Margaret in 1742, Maria Magdalena in 1744 and Anna Catharina in 1747,
Henry MOHLER was listed as a sheep herder. That likely accounts for why
baptisms located were at five different locations that are close to each
other:
Hassloch, Böbingen, Billigheim, Mörzheim, and Kappellen-Drusweiler (resident of Horbach).
The baptism for Valentine may be found in the future at some church
in the area.

Henry MOHLER arrived at Philadelphia on 7 October 1749 on the Ship Leslie.³⁴
