Baltimore Ruths and the Babe
Jacob Ruth (b about 1809) arrived in Baltimore from Baden in 1832. He married Catherine _____ either before or after his arrival; she too was from Baden. Their children included James b. 1834, Jacob b. 1836, Catherine b. 1842, Anton b. 1844, John P. b. 1846, and Mary b. 1851. Jacob Ruth was a cabinet-maker. Daughter Catherine apparently married Henry Strodtman, and Catherine Ruth is living with them in 1870.
If Anton is John A. Ruth, carpenter (in 1870), married to Mary Strodtman (Henry's sister), then he is the grandfather of George Herman (Babe) Ruth Jr.
