A Mennonite family name of Swiss origin, Roth is now found primarily in [[North America|North America]]. Jakob Rott, a farmer from Bülach in the canton of Zürich, and Nesy Rott from Bipp in the canton of Bern are named among the early Swiss [[Anabaptism|Anabaptists]] in 1533 and 1538. As early as 1527 Hans Roth preached at [[Kitzbühel (Tyrol, Austria)|Kitzbühel]], Austria, and baptized several people at Münichau. Othmar Rot(h), of St. Gall, is the author of hymn No. 53 in the [[Ausbund|Ausbund]], composed in 1532.

In the 17th century Mennonite Roths were living at Diesbach in the area of [[Thun (Bern, Switzerland)|Thun]], and a Mennonite Rot family was located in the lower [[A2210.html|Aargau]]. Some Mennonites Roths immigrated to the [[p3594.html|Palatinate]] in 1670, while other Roths went to the [[Alsace (France)|Alsace]] region at the end of the 17th century. Among the Swiss Mennonites settling in the neighborhood of Groningen, [[Netherlands|Netherlands]], in 1711, were Ulrich Roth, of Diesbach, with his wife and three children, and another Ulrich Roth, a miller from the Emmental, with his wife Elsbeth Steyner and four children. In the 18th century a Martin Roth is mentioned, who was a preacher of the congregation at Alwinc in [[Transylvania|Transylvania]], and who under the threats of the Jesuit priest [[Delphini, Johannes Theophilus (18th century)|Delphini]] left the church.

The 1750 [[Montbéliard (Doubs, Franche-Comté, France)|Montbéliard]]Mennonite church record lists Hans Roth, formerly of Aux Gouttes, later at [[Exincourt (Franche-Comté, France)|Exincourt]], who was probably the progenitor of Nicolaus Roth. Nicholas Roth died in Europe in 1834, leaving behind his wife, Veronica Zimmerman, and seven children. Veronica immigrated to Hamilton, Ohio, in 1837, probably from [[Baden (Germany)|Baden]], [[Germany|Germany]] and later moved to [[Morton (Illinois, USA)|Morton IL]]. One daughter, Barbara Roth, who married Joseph Zehr while in Europe, settled near Tavistock, ON. Most descendants of Nicholas Roth are found in central [[Illinois (USA)|Illinois]], since six of his children settled in the localities of Morton, Groveland, Fairbury, El Paso, and Gibson City. The full range of his descendants, however, are scattered throughout North America. In 1955 there were approximately 2,364 descendants of Nicolaus Roth with approximately 300 bearing the Roth name.

Some of the outstanding personalities from the Nicolaus Roth descendents have been Daniel Roth, the youngest child of Nicolaus, who served as the minister of the Pleasant Grove (Amish) Mennonite Church at Tremont, IL and his grandson Roy Daniel Roth, who was a pastor of the Pleasant Hill Church at East Peoria, IL and later became president of [[Hesston College (Hesston, Kansas, USA)|Hesston College]]. A Genealogical Study of the Nicolaus and Veronica (Zimmerman) Roth Family (1834-1954), written by Ruth C. Roth and Roy D. Roth, published under auspices of Daniel Roth Family Reunion in 1955, is the first work written regarding the Nicolaus Roth family.

Obituaries in the Herald of Truth and other Mennonite periodicals reveal that Roths have lived in at least sixteen states and provinces, with [[Iowa (USA)|Iowa]], [[Ohio (State)|Ohio]], [[Nebraska (USA)|Nebraska]], [[Ontario (Canada)|Ontario]], [[Oregon (USA)|Oregon]], [[Pennsylvania (USA)|Pennsylvania]], and Illinois leading in this order. These are mostly descendants of many 19th-century emigrants from Europe, who were not necessarily closely related to each other. Paul M. Roth, who was a Mennonite minister at [[Masontown Mennonite Church (Masontown, Pennsylvania, USA)|Masontown, PA]], is a grandson of Benjamin Roth from [[Alsace (France)|Alsace]], one of these immigrants who settled at Bellefontaine, Ohio. His brother Daniel's descendants live principally in [[Oregon (USA)|Oregon]]. Their half brother Joseph settled in [[Wayne County (Ohio, USA)|Wayne County]], Ohio, in 1868, but his descendants live principally in [[Henry County (Iowa, USA)|Henry County]], Iowa. In 1947 there were 19 Roth Mennonite ministers in North America and Europe.
