Anna Barbara Weisel died at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 11 days on
November 14, 1857. She was the wife of John Weisel. (Source: German
Reformed and Lutheran Church, Bedford, Pa., Burial Records.)
John Weisel was baptised John Weisel, and his will is signed Johannes Weisel. Legally, for most court and census records, he is called John Weisel.
But family refers to him as George.
1) Orphan court records for Sarah Weisel in 1829 list her surviving siblings in birth order. They are Jacob, George, Peter, John, Mary, Elizabeth, and Joseph.
2) The Orphan court records for Mary Weisel in 1838 list the surviving siblings and their residence. George - Bedford, Jacob - Bedford, Peter - Bedford, John - Bedford, Elizabeth - Philadelphia, and Josephs surviving children in Richland Twp. Bucks Co.
3) In 1837 Jacob Weisel's Declaration for Pension names his brother George Weisel who "can testify to his service and his character"
4) The bible records for John Weisel and Nancy Ober names his father as John George. "John WEISEL was born April 4 A. D. 1793 Bucks Co, PA, son of John George WEISEL and Sarah PHEIL"
