	20180703 HAv- Jones wetzupdoc1 Jul 04, 2018 More... My uncle Bob and my aunt Emily match 5 tests you administer, Emily with Hi Confidence. And... you have a critical junction in my Tree. I severed the lineage of George Wetzel/Whetsell to Martin, to Capt John Wetzel/Mary Bonnett, for lack of any good evidence, other than anecdotal handed down through generations, that we were related to Lewis, brother of Martin, famous (infamous?) Indian fighters. This is the Jones with whom George was living in the 1850 census, his daughter Mary, neighbor to his son Henry, my grgrgrandfather. That census is really that last good evidence I have in my Wetzel line :O( Even Snook Comes from loose DNA connections. Do you have more here? I'll be going through your tree in more detail, but I'm focusing on an entirely different part of my tree at the moment, Darn! I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July! john wetzupdoc1 Jul 04, 2018 OK, I checked the Match. Actually, WE don't show a match, but 4 of the tests you manage match up with my father, Edwin Paul Wetzel. I checked out the first, 'J.S.' so I can see what you mean. Thank you so much for this information; I've got a lot to catch up on!! So, still another question: Whom did Henry marry when Phoebe died, hopefully AFTER she died. Was it childbirth, since her last child was born in 1876. Thanks again, john wetzupdoc1 Jul 04, 2018 Hi Beverly, Noted, thank you. Who was Henry Stephens? her husband? I've had to break my tree apart a while ago, trying to stabilize it, and it's been a major effort ever since to try to bring it all back together, but I have not been able to find Henry in any of my most recent iterations. Thank you so much for writing. john wetzel Beverly Baker Jul 03, 2018 Phoebe Ellen Jones d/o Joseph Jones & Mary Whetzel/Wetzel died between 1876 and 1878 when Henry Stephens remarried. Your Cousin, Bev 20180703 HAv- Jones Beverly Baker Jul 04, 2018 Hello John! Henry's second wife was Mary Baker Stackhouse, a widow. My guess is that Phoebe died in childbirth and he remarried to have someone to take care of the young ones. (Just a guess as I have never found a death record.) I have never believed that John & Mary Bonnett Wetzel were George's parents because his sons all lived in the Marshall County area. However, it is highly possible that George was the son of his brother, Martin Wetzel. From what I understand, Martin stayed to the east. I did my friend's genealogy years ago and she is descended from John & Mary Wetzel. I found out about his brother then. Also the use of the same names, Martin, George, John plays a part in that thought. The Snooks I have on both side of my grandpa Stephens' side. I am pretty sure I found a death record that confirms that George's wife was a Snook. I also have them on the Ashby side via Sole to Youst to Snook. Blessings for a wonderful 4th!

	20260201GHLn- AI CoPilot What is my bloodline from Christy Robert Wetzel back? Here’s the clean, contradiction?free, evidence?based Wetzel bloodline from you ? Christy Robert Wetzel ? the 1731 immigrant, laid out in a way that finally resolves all the overlapping names and branches. This is the line that is your direct paternal ancestry, not the Maryland cousin line. ???? Your Direct Wetzel Bloodline (Father ? Son ? Son) From you back to the 1731 immigrant Hans Martin Wetzel Code YOU (John) ??? [Your parent] ??? Christy Robert Wetzel (1895–1977) ??? John Wetzel (1839–1917) ? your great?grandfather ??? Henry Wetzel (b. ~1790–1810) ??? George Wetzel (1767–1857) ??? Johann Martin Wetzel (b. ~1723) ??? Hans Martin Wetzel (b. ~1700, Alsace) ??? (Alsatian Wetzel line continues back) This is the frontier Wetzel line — the one that moved: Alsace ? Pennsylvania ? Virginia ? Monongalia County, WV ? your family. ? Each Generation Explained Clearly 1. Christy Robert Wetzel (1895–1977) Born Tyler County, WV Son of John Wetzel & Mary Matthews Married Melda Varney Moved to north?central Pennsylvania in the 20th century This is your grandfather. 2. John Wetzel (1839–1917) Born in what became West Virginia Son of Henry Wetzel Appears in Monongalia County records This is the generation that anchors your line in District 37 3. Henry Wetzel (b. ~1790–1810) Son of George Wetzel Lived in the VA/WV frontier zone Typical naming pattern for the Wetzel clan (Henry, George, Martin) 4. George Wetzel (1767–1857) Born in Pennsylvania Migrated to Virginia/West Virginia This is the man you’ve been reconstructing through census and land analysis He is the key link between the frontier Wetzels and the immigrant family 5. Johann Martin Wetzel (b. ~1723) Age 8 on the 1731 Britannia passenger list Son of the immigrant Hans Martin Wetzel Grew up in Pennsylvania His descendants moved into the Shenandoah ? Monongalia corridor This is your direct ancestor 6. Hans Martin Wetzel (b. ~1700, Alsace) Age 31 on the 1731 Britannia Wife: Maria Barbara Geist Children on the ship: Johann Martin, age 8 ? your line Johann Nicholaus, age 5 ? Maryland cousin line Catherina, age 22 (likely Hans Martin’s sister) This is the founder of your American Wetzel line. ???? The Key Clarification You descend from: ? Hans Martin Wetzel (1731 immigrant) ? Johann Martin Wetzel (his son) ? George Wetzel ? Henry Wetzel ? John Wetzel ? Christy Robert Wetzel ? you You do not descend from Johann Nicholaus (the younger brother). That line leads to the Maryland Wetzels, including Serepta Ann Wetzel — your cousin, not your ancestor. If you want next: I can build: a visual tree diagram a FamilySearch?ready ancestor line a Wetzel migration map or a comparison of your line vs. the Maryland cousin line Just tell me what format you want.

note I left on a pic of Rev. Henry's tombstone: The Reverend here (1815-~1860) is not the husband of Mary Anna Brookover and Rebecca Barker. The Rev. Henry Wetzel's wife was Maria Catherine Staubus. Much is known about the reverend Henry, obscuring the little I can find about my grgrgrandfather Henry (1812-1858). The confusion permeates ancestry.com, so this is my quest to try to correct it; maybe then some of the actual info about my Henry will be more available. Thank you for sharing the reverend's headstone. -jcw (20150325)

I am looking for information / documentation on Henry Wetzel. From what I can find is he was born about 1815 and died about 1858. He was married to Rebecca Barker and then later to Mary Brookover.

His Parents were George Wetzel and Priscilla Duncan.
His Grandparents would have been Martin Wetzel and Mary Coffelt
His Great Grand Parents would have been John Wetzel and Mary Bonnett.

Hello John!
Henry's second wife was Mary Baker Stackhouse, a widow. My guess is that Phoebe died in childbirth and he remarried to have someone to take care of the young ones. (Just a guess as I have never found a death record.)
I have never believed that John & Mary Bonnett Wetzel were George's parents because his sons all lived in the Marshall County area. However, it is highly possible that George was the son of his brother, Martin Wetzel. From what I understand, Martin stayed to the east. I did my friend's genealogy years ago and she is descended from John & Mary Wetzel. I found out about his brother then. Also the use of the same names, Martin, George, John plays a part in that thought.
The Snooks I have on both side of my grandpa Stephens' side. I am pretty sure I found a death record that confirms that George's wife was a Snook. I also have them on the Ashby side via Sole to Youst to Snook.

Blessings for a wonderful 4th!
Bev

My uncle Bob and my aunt Emily match 5 tests you administer, Emily with Hi Confidence.
And... you have a critical junction in my Tree. I severed the lineage of George Wetzel/Whetsell to Martin, to Capt John Wetzel/Mary Bonnett, for lack of any good evidence, other than anecdotal handed down through generations, that we were related to Lewis, brother of Martin, famous (infamous?) Indian fighters.

This is the Jones with whom George was living in the 1850 census, his daughter Mary, neighbor to his son Henry, my grgrgrandfather. That census is really that last good evidence I have in my Wetzel line :O(
Even Snook Comes from loose DNA connections.
Do you have more here?
I'll be going through your tree in more detail, but I'm focusing on an entirely different part of my tree at the moment, Darn!

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!

OK, I checked the Match. Actually, WE don't show a match, but 4 of the tests you manage match up with my father, Edwin Paul Wetzel. I checked out the first, 'J.S.' so I can see what you mean. Thank you so much for this information; I've got a lot to catch up on!!
So, still another question: Whom did Henry marry when Phoebe died, hopefully AFTER she died.
Was it childbirth, since her last child was born in 1876.
Thanks again,
john

Hi Beverly,
Noted, thank you.
Who was Henry Stephens? her husband?
I've had to break my tree apart a while ago, trying to stabilize it, and it's been a major effort ever since to try to bring it all back together, but I have not been able to find Henry in any of my most recent iterations.
Thank you so much for writing.

What is my bloodline from Christy Robert Wetzel back?
Here’s the clean, contradiction?free, evidence?based Wetzel bloodline from you ? Christy Robert Wetzel ? the 1731 immigrant, laid out in a way that finally resolves all the overlapping names and branches.

This is the line that is your direct paternal ancestry, not the Maryland cousin line.

???? Your Direct Wetzel Bloodline (Father ? Son ? Son)
From you back to the 1731 immigrant Hans Martin Wetzel
Code
YOU (John)
??? [Your parent]
??? Christy Robert Wetzel (1895–1977)
??? John Wetzel (1839–1917) ? your great?grandfather
??? Henry Wetzel (b. ~1790–1810)
??? George Wetzel (1767–1857)
??? Johann Martin Wetzel (b. ~1723)
??? Hans Martin Wetzel (b. ~1700, Alsace)
??? (Alsatian Wetzel line continues back)

This is the frontier Wetzel line — the one that moved:
Alsace ? Pennsylvania ? Virginia ? Monongalia County, WV ? your family.

? Each Generation Explained Clearly
1. Christy Robert Wetzel (1895–1977)
Born Tyler County, WV
Son of John Wetzel & Mary Matthews
Married Melda Varney
Moved to north?central Pennsylvania in the 20th century
This is your grandfather.
2. John Wetzel (1839–1917)
Born in what became West Virginia
Son of Henry Wetzel
Appears in Monongalia County records
This is the generation that anchors your line in District 37

3. Henry Wetzel (b. ~1790–1810)
Son of George Wetzel
Lived in the VA/WV frontier zone
Typical naming pattern for the Wetzel clan (Henry, George, Martin)

4. George Wetzel (1767–1857)
Born in Pennsylvania
Migrated to Virginia/West Virginia
This is the man you’ve been reconstructing through census and land analysis
He is the key link between the frontier Wetzels and the immigrant family

5. Johann Martin Wetzel (b. ~1723)
Age 8 on the 1731 Britannia passenger list
Son of the immigrant Hans Martin Wetzel
Grew up in Pennsylvania
His descendants moved into the Shenandoah ? Monongalia corridor
This is your direct ancestor

6. Hans Martin Wetzel (b. ~1700, Alsace)
Age 31 on the 1731 Britannia
Wife: Maria Barbara Geist
Children on the ship:
Johann Martin, age 8 ? your line
Johann Nicholaus, age 5 ? Maryland cousin line
Catherina, age 22 (likely Hans Martin’s sister)
This is the founder of your American Wetzel line.

???? The Key Clarification
You descend from:
? Hans Martin Wetzel (1731 immigrant)
? Johann Martin Wetzel (his son)
? George Wetzel
? Henry Wetzel

You do not descend from Johann Nicholaus (the younger brother).
That line leads to the Maryland Wetzels, including Serepta Ann Wetzel — your cousin, not your ancestor.

If you want next:
I can build:
a visual tree diagram
a FamilySearch?ready ancestor line
a Wetzel migration map
or a comparison of your line vs. the Maryland cousin line
Just tell me what format you want.

[S1419] FTDNA: Charlotte Kensil, Snook & Henry WHETSEL/WETZEL.
You match both my husband Steve Kensil and his maternal aunt Roxy Manning. The match with Roxy is particularly strong with two long segments on chromosome 8. I believe the common ancestor is in your Wetzel line. Steve and Roxy are descendants of Mathias Snook and his wife Barbara. One of their daughters, Elizabeth Snook, married a George Wetzel. One of their sons may have been Henry Wetzel who married Mary Brookover and had a son John Wetzel born 1839. I believe that is the same as your tree except that you have Mary Brookover's husband as a Christy Wetzel. Is it possible that he was Henry Christy Wetzel? If so, I believe his mother would have been Elizabeth Snook who would have been sister to Catherine Snook (my husband and his aunt's line). The chromosome 8 match overlaps Richard Perry Yantis, with whom we have a more definitive Snook match (back to Mathias and Barbara).

Message: John, in the descendants you listed of Eli Wetzel my Grandfather was William Leonard. I have John and Eli's other Siblings as Levi, Jane Margaret and Eliza Martha Ann (who married John Roberts in 1883) I am not sure what other information I have on the above mentioned people. Will check my Family Tree program and see. As far as I know I do not have the decendants of John, or the other Children of Henry. Naturally, I am missing a lot of info as it takes a while to gather it all as I am sure you know. I will forward what I have as soon as I can.
