Most Spieth families today trace their ancestry to the German district of Esslingen, centrally located in the state of Baden Wuerttemberg. Most people shown here lived in the village of Oberesslingen, with some from Hegensberg, Liebersbronn or a few other nearby locales.
When church records began in 1638 there seem to have been four Spieth families in Oberesslingen, those of Johannes, Georg, Jerg and Hans. How these men were related to each other is unknown. Further details of these lives are almost nonexistant.
We do know that many of these men had the occupation of "Vine Dresser": they were tenders of the vineyards which surround the village of Oberesslingen.

Of Christian Andreas Spieth's nine children at least five immigrated to the United States. Johann Adam Spieth, his wife, and three of his four children, along with brother Johann Gottlieb Spieth arrived in New York on August 4, 1832. The next year saw the arrival of his child Wilhelm Gotlob Spieth, and brother Christian Frederick Spieth. By 1865 the three brothers had twenty-four children between them, living in the northwest Ohio counties of Defiance and Henry, or in Medina County, south of Cleveland.
Anna Spieth was Barbara Spieth's sister, and daughter to Georg Spieth and Anna Nagel.
Johann Georg Spieth was an older brother of Jeremias Spieth (parents: Hans and Barbara Spieth).

Christian Andreas Spieth was himself one of five children, and some of the Ohio Spieths are descended from his brother, Johann Friedrich Spieth. Johann had nine children, including son Johann Leonard Spieth. While none of these nine children came to America, at least two of Johann Leonard's nine children did: Katherine Barbara Spieth and Jacob Friedrich Spieth. The Ohio Spieths who I could not tie into the Christian Andreas line, like the Lorain Ohio Spieths, could be the descendants of Jacob Friedrich.
