George Muter
George Muter was an early settler of Kentucky and served as chief justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
==Early life and military career==
Muter was born in Madison County, Virginia (then a part of Orange County).〔Faust, p. 378〕 He was the son of a German father and a Scottish mother.〔 Little is known of his early life.
During the Revolutionary War, Muter served as Virginia's Commissioner of the War Office. 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. Jefferson expressed confidence in Muter, but the March 20 report of a special committee appointed by the House of Burgesses charged that Muter was not qualified to fill the position and ought to be removed from office. Muter resigned two days after the report was delivered.〔''Ammunition Supply In Revolutionary Virginia''〕 Thomas Speed also records that he was commander aboard a ship of war and attained the rank of colonel.〔Speed, p. 48〕
