m ?
The discovery among documents of the
St. Petersburg Lutheran Church, near
Scranton, PA of the a record stating that
George Wehrung was born in 1815 in
"Ziewiller" led to the informatioyn below,
supplied by Paul Wehrung of Owego, NY.
Proof that George of Pennsylvania and Georg
of Siewiller are the same has yet to be
established, and is currently under
investigation. A family story holds that
he came to the United States alone,
intending to send for his family, and then
remarried.

The saga of Anna Magdalena (as she was usually
recorded) and her son Adam was one of the most
intriguing of Wehrung researches, and was carried out
by Thomas Wehrung of Columbus, OH, a descendant. It
began in 1785 when she brought her illegitimate son
to the church for baptism. The putative father was
one Johann Nickel Marzloff--but he denied this claim
under pain of "Purgatory". Some time after she left
Drulingen for Berg, where her cousin Peter Wehrung,
originally of Siewiller, had settled some years
before. There she married, and took in her aged
father after the death of her mother.

According information supplied by genealogist
Doris Wesner, both parents emigrated to Russia in
1803. Why their last son should have remained
behind is a question that can no longer be
answered, but he would make a farther journey--
across the sea to America--just as he was starting
his family. Their story is found as part of
An Ensminger Family from Alsace:
The Descendants of Conrad Ensminger and
Carolina Gaupp from Diemeringen Alsace
by Robert D. Sherry, with additions supplied
by Donald Wehrung of Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

The origins of Nicolaus Wehrung are unknown at present. The U.S. census provides an aproximate year of birth, amd it is interesting to note that his wife's surname, Bach, was also known in the area north of Drulingen, suggesting that they married before emigrating.

The 1850 Philadelphia federal census (8th [Kensington] Ward)
recorded Nicolaus Wehrung as being a cabinetmaker, while in the
1860 census (23rd Ward) he was simply referred to as a
carpenter. The fates of only three of his children are known;
none but his third son (and new family) appear in the 1870
Philadelphia census; they shortly left for Texas. Nicolaus was
probably dead by then, since neither he nor his wife are listed
in 1870.

Jacob Wehrung was an early victim of the Civil War. He
enlisted at Philadelphia as a Private in Company C if tge 6th
Regiment if Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry on September 10,
1861. He is reported as having died on July 20, 1852 at Bull
Run. If the date is correct, he would have been killed in a
skirmish before the actual battle itself, which did not take
place until the following day. His grave is found in the
Hampton National Cemetery, VA, Row 8, Section 7, Grave E.

Names and dates pertaining to Theodore's children were found
in a family bible record supplied by the Mormons, in the
possession of Mrs. Eva E. (Raven) Goss in 1959. The 1870 census
reveals that Theodore was a house carpenter, a trade he would
have pursued when he took his family to Texas some time between
1871 and 1875.
The 1870 census also records Amelia Siemon (age 55, born in
Hesse, GER), and Adam Siemon (age 13) residing in the Wehrung
household. This may have been Catherina Elisabetha's mother.
