In Russell S. Armentrout's "Armentrout Family History - 1739-1978" his given name is listed as Johan Friedrich. This is likely closer to the German spelling that he or his family would have used. In later years and/or generations, Johan was often changed to John; Friedrich was often changed to Frederick and the surname Ermentraudt was Anglicized to the spelling Armentrout (with variations that include Armantrout, Armintrout and Armontrout). Johan Frederick was the fourth child of the widow Anna Elizabeth Ermentraudt. He was born in the Palatinate State of the Holy Roman Empire (as it was then known) and sailed with his mother and siblings on the ship "Samuel," landing in Philadelphia on 27 Aug 1739. His wife's given name was likely spelled Maria Catrina when they married, later to become Mary Catherine. They married about 1745 in Lancaster (now Berks) County, Pennsylvania and had eight children.
