George Muter

In March 1781, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben charged that Muter was responsible for inadequate availability of weapons and ammunition in the state.

Muter learned of the charges before von Steuben brought them before the House of Burgesses and asked Governor Thomas Jefferson for a full investigation to clear his name.

[7] In 1786, Muter was invited to become a member of the Danville Political Club, a debating society that also included Samuel McDowell and Harry Innes.

[3] When Kentucky achieved statehood in 1792, Muter was chosen as an elector to choose the state's governor and senators.

The delegates to the meeting concluded that it was the duty of the United States Congress to secure free trade on the Mississippi from the Spanish, even if it meant the use of force.

[6] In 1795, Muter and Sebastian rendered a decision against Kentucky pioneer Simon Kenton in a land title case.

[14] The legislature failed to produce the two-thirds majority needed to remove the justices, but they were sternly rebuked.

[14] In May 1796, Muter joined with Caleb Wallace to express an opinion opposite his unpopular decision in October.
