Notes
This is a transcription from the original church records in German. The first 36 pages are missing.
For years, this resource was mistakenly labeled as being from Lititz in Lancaster County. However, a scan of the names brought this into question. Our genealogist, Kevin Shue, consulted with the librarian at the York County History Center, and the two of them confirmed that the information in this resource is from York County and not from Lititz, PA.

Summary
"Christopher Demuth's early years in the Moravian community of Bethlehem, which included the traumatic transition from its "General Economy," shaped and helped prepare him for a new career in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Trained in carpentry and millwork, Demuth went on to be the most successful tobacconist in Lancaster, specializing in snuff, which he sold throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. His extensive operation demonstrates Lancaster's importance as a production and distribution node, as well as the significant role that Pennsylvania tobacconists played in the state and national economy decades before tobacco was grown commercially in the states."
