| Notes |
John Roat, "was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1802. He was the son of Henry Roat whose parents emigrated to Pennsylvania from the Palatinate about the year 1763. While yet a boy he learned the trade of harness making and soon became a renowned expert at his trade. When quite a young man he made up his mind to leave his native state and seek his home elsewhere. Shortly thereafter he bid adieu to his parental home and travelled northward. He came to Canada and finally settled in Berlin, Ontario, where he soon set to work at his trade. His shop was situated a little to the east of the Market Hotel. Here he carried his business until the time of his death which took place in August, 1854. In 1830 he was married to Sarah, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Horst) Sauer. She was born September 5th, 1805, and is still living with one of her children. To them was born a family of eleven children of whom the three eldest, namely: Isaac, Elhannon and Lydia died in infancy. |
