Revolutionary War, 1781 June 12 - Capt. Wm McHenry27
It is speculation that this George served in the Rev. War as no data has been
found to verify military service. This George Weisel, born 1761 is the most likely
person to have served as a private in the Bedminster Malatia under Capt.
Wm McHenry. George's older brother Frederick served in the same unit.
His uncle, the immigrant son born 1730 or earlier would have been too old,
and George Ludwig born 1773, son of immigrant Michael would have been
too young.
November, 2002 - Comment by Harold Bower, a descendant of George, who has
done extensive research on the life of George Weisel.
"George, was active in Lycoming County politics, but I have yet to find any mention that he was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. I have not found his obit in the paper; that usually mentions Rev. War service."

"In 1786 the brothers Jacob, Jr., and Daniel migrated to the later-named Williamsport, Maryland, southwest of Hagerstown. Jacob, Jr., died unmarried on October 31, 1812, and was buried there."

Therefore he will not be entitled to receive a child's full share out of the above balance but only the sum of thirty five pounds, seventeen shillings, eight pence, the residue to be distributed among the other heirs of the said Jacob Weisel deceased, agreeably to the accounts for the distribution of Intestate Estates. Witness our hands this nineteenth day of November Anno Domini One thousand eight hundred and eight - 1808.

1936 Weisel Family Association
Fifth Annual Reunion
at Forest Park, Chalfont, Bucks County, PA
on Saturday, September 5, 1936
Fifth Annual Reunion Approaches
The Committee on Arrangements is looking forward to this year's meeting as the largest and most enjoyable so far. Forest Park, a beautiful picnic grove, has been chosen because of the many advantages not heretofore available. A modern sanitary swimming pool and a few amusements will make the youngsters glad they came, and the location of this park makes it convenient for the Bucks County Weisels as well as the others. Support the plans of the committee by bringing the whole family. Pack a picnic lunch and we will all have a good old Weisel outing.
HISTORY OF THE MARYLAND WEISELS
Brief mention has been made at earlier reunions of the Maryland branch of the Weisel family of Bucks County. It is now fitting that some of the facts of the illustrious group should be made more generally known.
Jacob Weisel, Sr., son of the colonial pioneers, born about 1726, married Ann Margaret (surname not known) early in 1750 and they had the following children.
(1)Frederick, born January 1, 1751, died unmarried at Williamsport, PA, on November 1, 1838;
(2)Jacob, Jr., born August 5, 1753; more later;
(3)Anna Catherine, born March 18, 1756; died August 18, 1758;
(4)John, born July 6, 1758, no further data;
(5)George, born January 29, 1761, died June 12, 1835: married Elizabeth
Hoenig (Haney) January 18, 1788, born March 18, 1760, died March 8, 1858,
descendants around Williamsport, PA;
(6)Henry (?): uncertainty as to this name;
(7)Daniel, born April 10, 1766; more later;
(8)Maria Elizabeth, born July 9, 1769, died September 14, 1840, unmarried, at Williamsport, Penna.
In our struggle for independence, Jacob, Sr., served as an Ensign and First Lieutenant, and Frederick as a private in the Bucks County militia, and Jacob, Jr. served as a gunner in Captain Joseph Watkins' 1st Company, Artillery Battalion of Philadelphia. In 1786 the brothers Jacob, Jr., and Daniel migrated to the later-named Williamsport, Maryland, southwest of Hagerstown. Jacob, Jr., died unmarried on October 31, 1812, and was buried there. Daniel associated himself with a Mr. Humrichhouse in the merchandise business there and about 1790 married Margaret Startzman, born September 16, 1773, died July 28, 1817, daughter of Henry and Eve Startzman. Their house was one of the first erected on the banks of the Potomac River in that region. Their children were:
(1)Jacob, born May 2, 1791;
(2)Elizabeth, born November 17, 1792: married Daniel Cyester, no issue;
(3)George, born January 29, 1796;
(4)Sarah, born 1797, married Skipwith Wilson: issue;
(5)Mary, born December 6, 1799, unmarried: died April 4, 1846;
(6)Daniel, Jr., born January 26, 1803: more below;
(7)Margaret, born October 11, 1807: md. Jacob Roth (Rhode) Jr.: issue;
(8)Samuel, born May 16, 1810: more below;
(9)Susanna, born October 11, 1813: md. Adam Shoop: issue.
Daniel Weisel, Jr., was graduated from Princeton College in 1824 and immediately entered the office of Attorney Hoffman at Baltimore. While there he was graduated from the Baltimore Law School. In 1826 he was admitted to the Maryland Bar and the same year married Matilda, daughter of Amos and Sarah Theresa (Williams) Davis, the latter a niece of General Otho Holland Williams. In 1830, with a Mr. Tice, he established the Republican Banner, a Whig newspaper, at Williamsport. His editorials were so able and forcible as to attract widespread attention, including the publishers of the "National Intelligencer". In 1838 they moved to Hagerstown, where he gained a lucrative law practice. From 1847 to 1852 he was Associate Justice of the Judicial District comprising Frederick, Washington, and Allegheny Counties, when by a constitutional change the court was supplanted by the single judge system. In 1861 he was elected Judge of the 4th Judicial Circuit, comprising Washington and Allegheny Counties, and in 1864 became a Judge of the Court of Appeals of the state, going out of office with another constitutional change in the judicial system in 1867. He thereupon resumed private practice.
In 1868 he was Republican candidate for Congress in the 6th District, reducing the normal opposition majority from 2800 to 480. That year he was awarded the honorary degree of LL.D. by his alma mater, Princeton College. In 1872 he was Delegate-at-large from Maryland to the National Republican Convention that nominated Grant and Wilson.
HISTORY of the MARYLAND WEISELS
Judge Weisel was a founder of the Williamsport Bank and its president for many years. His benefactions were numerous and he was an ardent advocate of education. He participated in the promotion and foundation of the Hagerstown Lyceum and the Hagerstown Female Seminary, and also was a member of the Board of Visitors of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Frederick.
Judge Weisel died at Hagerstown on September 25, 1880, and was buried in the cemetery of the Trinity Lutheran Church there. Promptly upon his decease the Washington County Bar adopted a resolution eulogizing his distinguished career and his personal character, as set out on page 1126 of J. T. Scharf's History of Western Maryland. He was a man of sturdy independence of character, sincere convictions, and great earnestness of purpose . . . . the personification of gentlemanly bearing and professional courtesy. His portrait will soon be hung among those of the other judges of the Maryland Court of Appeals at Hagerstown. He left no children.
His brother, Dr. Samuel Weisel, was likewise an eminent man. He was graduated in medicine from the University of Maryland at Baltimore in 1832 and was an outstanding surgeon in western Maryland. On November 14, 1837, he married Susan M. Turner. He died on January 26, 1872, and his wife died on December 26, 1898, aged 89 years. A son, Dr. Daniel Weisel, was also an able surgeon, having served in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army and attained the grade of Captain and Assistant Surgeon. Me was born on August 29, 1838, and died on October 30, 1888. His wife, who was Isabel Waters, died on November 19, 1929. A daughter, Harriet, lives in Washington DC, and a son, Major Edmund T. Weisel, born September 21, 1878, served in the Field Artillery of the U.S. Army. During the World War (I) he was promoted to the temporary grade of Lieutenant-Colonel on General Staff duty. On October 15, 1922, he was retired on physical disability and died (unmarried) on October 31, 1927.
Jacob Weisel, Sr., son of the colonial pioneers, born about 1726, married Ann Margaret (surname not known) early in 1750 and they had the following children.
(1)Frederick, born January 1, 1751, died unmarried at Williamsport, PA, on

AN EARLY SETTLER
A Brief Sketch of the Life of
John Weisel, Esq.
Something About Pioneer Life
in Lycoming County
Interesting Reminiscences of a Venerable and Useful Citizen
The subject of this sketch, John Weisel, Esq. of this city [Williamsport, PA]
was born on the first day of April 1805 in Tinnecum [Tinicum] township, Bucks
County, the residence of his father, [John] George Weisel, being at the time
on the banks of the Tinnecum river where it empties into the Delaware. In
the fall of the same year his father moved his family to this section of
country, settling in Loyalsock township, at that time, now Eldred, and
occupying that winter a little house that stood on the premises where a Mr.
Mosteller now lives, situated near the Quaker meeting house. Shortly after
his arrival in this vicinity his father purchased a small tract of land in
Hepburn Township and erected a house thereon. He then cut a road through the
woods to his new home that winter and in the spring of 1806 he moved his
family and household goods. In the year 1808 his father erected a new mill
on the banks of Mill Creek and in the spring of the year 1810 he began the
erection of a grist mill. Mr. Jacob Hyman had the contract to do the
carpenter work, John Fields, father of Firman Fields, Esq. of Fields Station,
being an apprentice under him at the time. A man by the name of Jacob Shane
was the millwright, Mr. William Ball, a brother-in-law of Mr. Weisel who
afterwards became the owner of the mill, being an apprentice under Shane at
the time. Philip Pence, an old Revolutionary soldier, cut the stone, taking
him many months to complete the job, he procuring the stone in a quarry along
Lycoming Creek. The grist mill was completed in the fall of the same year,
and began operations. The mill is still standing and is now known as Ball's
Mills.
Although but five years old at the this time, Mr. Weisel says he distinctly
remembers that the country was infested with wild animals, such as bears,
wolves, etc. As an incident, he relates that one evening a bear came to the
residence of his uncle Abraham Utterhold, and made for the hog pen in which
were several fine fat hogs. His uncle being in the barn at the time, seized
a pitchfork and undertook to drive bruin off, but to no purpose, as the best
succeeded in breaking in the pen, and seizing one of the porkers, he made off
for the hills with it. The next day, Samuel Weisel, an older brother,
succeeded in shooting the animal, which on being cut open was found to be in
very lean condition, not an once of fat on his carcass. This fact explained
that hunger had compelled the bear to make such a bold dash for food. Mr.
Weisel worked on the farm for his father until the year 1825, when he then
began to work at what was called a carding machine, which was situated in a
small building about one-fourth of a mile from the grist mill, and which had
been in charge of his oldest brother, William, for a long time. His duties
consisted in carding the wool into rolls, which were then taken to the house
where the female portion of the family xxx, was taken to the weaver who wove
it, it was then taken to what was known as a fulling mill where it was fulled
and sheared, and then was known as cloth. He continued to work at the
business until the time of his father's death which occurred in 1836? In
1837 he was united in marriage to Miss Sitney [Sidney] Mackey, Jacob Grafius,
Esq., performing the ceremony at the residence of the bride's parents, which
was situated in back of what is now known as Warrensville. The best man on
this occasion was the father of Captain D.B. Eise, proprietor of the Crawford
House, who is now living in one of the western states.
After the death of this father, Mr. Weisel took charge of the mill property,
paying the other heirs for their shares. He carried on the business until
1840 when he sold out to William Ball, his brother-in-law, whose nephew,
George now owns and operates the mill. After selling out, Mr. Weisel moved
to what in now known as Warrensville, which place he afterwards laid out, and
purchased a property of Samuel Carpenter, consisting of one hundred and
twenty five acres of land, and a saw and grist mill, paying $7,000 for the
same. He resided here for thirteen years, when he sold the property to
Squire Milnor and his brother-in-law, a man by the name of Whitefield,
receiving for the same $8,000.
In 1853, on the first day of April, Mr. Weisel removed with his family to
this city [Williamsport] and purchased the piece of ground on which his
residence is now erected, No. 35 East Third Street. At the time of the
purchase the improvements consisted of a small frame building. He bought the
property from Hon. Judge Eldred, paying $1,500 for it. On the eighth day of
the following March, his mother died, being 93 years old to the day. Mr.
Weisel continued to live in this building until it was destroyed by the great
fire of 1871. Shortly after the destruction of the property he began the
erection of the three storied brick property in which he has resided ever
since. Mr. Weisel was at one time the owner of considerable real estate
situated in this city. In 1846 he bought of Lentz & White, members of the
well known lumber firm of White, Lentz & White, ninety town lots situated in
what is now the eastern extremity of the city limits, paying for them the sum
of $3,400. These lots fronted on Washington Street, between Almond and Lower
Vine streets, and extended back into Lloyd's addition. Mr. Weisel disposed
of a large number of these lots.
Mr. Weisel has been elected to fill several positions of trust. In 1844 he
was elected County Commissioner to serve three years, taking the place of
Daniel Strieby, Esq., deceased. At the time of he served, John Steck, of
Hughesville, farmer Thomas Wood of Muncy, Hugh Russell of Larry's Creek, and
William Platt, of Clinton Township also served. A new Commissioner was
elected each year, tow holding over. He was also elected a Justice of the
Peace in the Second Ward of this city at the time the Eighth Ward was formed
but he never lifted his commission.
Mr. Weisel is now living at N. 35 East Third Street, this city with his
estimable wife, Elizabeth, who is but ten months his junior, she being born
in the town of Bellvidere, New Jersey. A remarkable thing in regard to Mrs.
Weisel is that she has never been sick a day in her life. Mr. and Mrs.
Weisel had three children born to them, Elizabeth A. who died a few years ago
in White Deer Valley; Mary Jane Fullmer, who resides in this city, and Dr.
George Weisel, a well known physician of Williamsport.
Shortly after
his arrival in this vicinity his father purchased a small tract of land in
Hepburn Township and erected a house thereon. He then cut a road through the
woods to his new home that winter and in the spring of 1806 he moved his
family and household goods. In the year 1808 his father erected a new mill
on the banks of Mill Creek and in the spring of the year 1810 he began the
erection of a grist mill.
