The name HUJET is found in Rheinland in 1670 and in Dutch Glory in 1804. 
HUYETT is the spelling in Maryland and in Pennsylvania, except for Washington 
County (Pa), where it evolved into HEWITT. There are many other spellings, for 
example, Huet, Huit. 
    The earliest date is August 20-1697, when Peter Hujet (born c1670, son of 
John Hujet, miller at Brucken, was married to Margaret Bruch. Karl Langler says 
that Peter was born at Abentheuer, which is near Brucken. In 1719 Peter Hujet 
with 6 children was living at Achtelsbach, also near Brucken. These villages are 
in present Kreis Birkenfeld, Rheinland, Germany. Peter's oldest son, Sebastian, 
may have died young. His other two sons went to Pennsylvania - Peter in 1737, 
Franz Carl in 1738. 
    Peter settled in Exeter Twp, Berks Co, getting a land warrant April 5-1743. 
His name is on tax list 1753-1766. The last record of Peter is his 
naturalization (PA II 2 396) "Peter Huett of Exeter" April 10 -1766. His name 
is not on the 1767 list. His children stayed in Berks County. No estate has 
been found. 
    Apparently Franz Carl died in the 1750s, possibly in Philadelphia, where he 
was living 1738-39 1746-48. His name is not on the 1756 tax lists of Berks 
County or of Philadelphia. No record has been found in Maryland. His children 
by his first marriage went to Berks County, before going to Washington County, 
Maryland. Perhaps all his children went to Berks. Ludwig was taxed in Exeter 
1760-68, Philip 1768. Elizabeth Hewitt married Jacob Leffler in Berks County 
early in 1762. 
    Franz Carl's children went to Washington Co, Md about 1769. (There is a town 
of Huyett in that county.) Ludwig stayed in Maryland; Philip, Peter, Elizabeth 
went to Washington County Pa about 1774. Nicholas went to Huntingdon County, 
Pa. In 1774 Ludwig Huyett bought land in Maryland from Jacob Miller before Jacob 
migrated to the Dutch Fork settlement in Donegal Twp, Washington Co. Jacob 
Leffler was a neighbor of Jacob Miller in Donegal

    Franz was named for his grandfather Franz Bruch, Harvey T Huyett in HUYETT 
FAMILY IN AMERICA says that Franz was brother of Peter (b 1702) and that Franz's 
son, Ludwig, lived in Maryland. In Maryland the names of Ludwig, Philip and 
Peter are together in church records, sponsoring each other's children. The 
names of Ludwig Huyett and Jacob Leffler, brother-in-law, are together, too. It 
seems certain that Philip and Peter were sons of Franz Carl.
