Attention: Lynn Davis
I see that you submitted the
information on Henry David Wetsel and I agree on all but two items.
1. I show that Anna Maria
Bassler was born about 1723 Berks Co., PA and died after 1785.
Anna Maria Bassler
could not have died in 1746; since all but one of her children were born
after that date.
2. I do not agree with your
statement that Conrad was a member of the Moravian Church in Emmaus, PA.

From: "Bill Wetsel" ,genbwetz@stratos.net> Our Jacob came to
America in 1737. No other Wetzel was on the ship with him. The
Conrad Wetzel that lived nearby in Lehigh co., came to America in 1732,
he was a Moravian. The other Jacob Wetzel in Lehigh Co. was there at
least ten years before our Johann Jacob came to America.
Bill Wetsel and his father
have been researching the Wetsel Family for 20 years or more.
Our Conrad was not born
until 1766 in Berks Co., PA
