Gottfried F. Roth was born 10 Jan 1847 in Ebhausen, Calw, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.  He was the son of Johann Georg and Margreta Harter Roth.

Gottfried and Kate Hermann were married 26 Sep 1869 in Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky.  They had seven children:
-George Frederick Roth (1870-1942)
-John F. Roth, profiled on his own page
-Louis Roth, Sr. (1873-1962)

-Frederick G. (twin) Roth (1877-1957)

The 1870 Census shows Gottfried at age 23 living with his wife, Kate, in Covington and working as a Locksmith.  It also shows that he and Kate were married in September of the last year (1869).  Henrietta Hermann is in the same household.

Sadly, Kate died two weeks after giving birth to their son, John H., in Jul 1879.  The 1880 Census shows Gottfried at age 33  living with his children in Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky.  He works at Keeping a Saloon. 

Gottfried married Mary Elizabeth Hilshorst 1 Nov 1880 in Covington.  They had four children:
-Charles H. (twin) Roth (1881-1881)
-William H. (twin) Roth (1881-1881)
-Emma Matilda Roth (1883-1953)
-William Henry Roth (1884-1957)

Gottfried's life ended at the young age of 37 and he was buried in Highland Cemetery in Fort Mitchell, Kenton County, Kentucky.
