One of the sons of Martin Wetzel was John Wetzel, known as "Captain John." Captain John Wetzel & his sons were colorful, interesting characters from the days of the American frontier, the Indian uprisings, The American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. To learn more about these Wetzels, go to the INDEX, and click on: Captain John Wetzel; Jacob Wetzel; and Lewis Wetzel. Martin Wetzel and his family were affiliated with the Lutheran Church, in Preuschdorf, and in Pennsylvania.

  	Barner's Grove, 6th annual Wetzel family reunion. Text written by S.K. Wetzel
  	20250718GHLn- Larry Conner originally shared this on 7 Jun 2024 THE EARLY WETZELS OF AMERICA The Morning Call in Allentown, PA 2 Sep 1912 pg 9, Mon Written by S.K. Wetzel and read by Anson J.J. Wetzel at the sixth annual reunion of the Wetzel family, held in Barner’s Grove, Macungie, August 17, 1912 Linked to Johannes Martin Wetzel Johanns Marten Niclaus Wetzel Maria Barbara Motz The “Early Wetzels” the “The First Wetzels” or the “Pioneer Wetzels” of America, by whichever name you want to call them, according to tradition and the early records of the family, came from the “Palatinate” in Germany, and therefore were “German Palatinates” and spoke the German language, a language different from that spoken in the high countries of Germany. The Wetzels who came to America, like all other families, have probably descended from one common ancestor. How the surname Wetzel originated is a question which I am unable to answer. The first Wetzel who came to America was Hans Martin Wetzel. He came over in the ship “Brittania” and qualified by taking the oath of allegiance at Philadelphia, September 21, 1731. His age at that time was 31 years. His wife who came with him, Maria Barbara was 33 years old. On the same ship were the following children: Hans Martin Wetzel, Jr., aged six years; Nicholas Wetzel, aged four years, and Catharine Wetzel, aged three years. Those three children were probably those of Hans Martin and Maria Barbara Wetzel. This is taken from the Pennsylvania Ar-chives, pages 29, 34, and 35. Hans Martin Wetzel settled in that territory now embraced in Lehigh county. It is near the present line of Berks and Lehigh counties. The old Wetzel homestead, located near St. Peter’s Church, in Upper Milford townships was in all probability built by him. It was built in 1740, and was built of logs, and was occupied until the year 1900. The second Wetzel who came to America was John Jacob, who with his wife Barbar came in the ship “Charming Polly,” Captain of the ship was Charles Steadman, of London. He qualified, October 8, 1737, and located in Here-ford township, Berks County, only several miles distant where his brother Hans Martin had settled. The third Wetzel who emigrated to America was Phillip Wetzel. He came in the ship “Davy.” of which William Patton was the com-mander. He qualified on October 25, 1738. If he was married or where he settled I can not say as I have found no further records about him. That a kinship existed between these three Wetzels can not be doubted, and it is very probable that they were three brothers, found among the emigrant ancestors of so many American families. Other Wetzel’s who emigrated to America are as follows: John Werner Wetzel, who came in the ship “Queen Eliza-beth,” Captain Alexander Hope, he qualified September 16, 1738; Jacob Wetzel, who came in the ship “Ann Gally,” Captain William Wilson. He qualified September 16, 1738, which was in the same year in which the Rev. Michael Schlatter, the Reformed Missionary came to America. He settled in Lower Milford. A warrant was issued to the said Jacob Wetzel on July 1, 1734, for a tract of land of 160 acres in 1754 for another tract of 51 acres and 39 perches. On the first tract of proprietary patent was granted on September 10, 1747, and on the other on Aug 9, 1754 both to Jacob Wetzel. On April 4, 1771, a third patent was granted to said Jacob Wetzel for a tract of 47 acres called “Mount Faith.” The first two tracts he sold to his son, Peter, in 1765. It is now in possession of the Eberhard’s. Another Wet-zel, Conrad Wetzel. It is not known when he came to America, but he settled near the Moravian town of Emaus. He had two warrants of land issued to him, the first dated, February 25, 1734, for 145 acres and 53 perches to the said Conrad Wetzel, Esq. He was for a number of years a Justice of the Peace, but as he did not comply with the condi-tions of the warrant said warrant was transferred to Peter Moyer, January 10, 1749, and was patented to Christian Miller, of Long Swamp, December 14, 1762. A second patent was granted in 1748 for 164 acres, sold in 1753 to George Stahlnecker, patent granted, February 20, 1754. This tract is situated in Lower Milford. Hans George Wetzel came over in the ship “Bennet Gally”, John Waltham, master. He qualified August 13, 1750. Christopher Wetzel emigrated in the ship “Nancy”. Thomas Canton, master, August 31, 1750. George Wetzel came in the ship, “Anderson,” Hugh Campbell, captain, September 27, 1752. John Jacob, came in the ship “Phoenix”, John Spurrier, commander, Nov. 2, 1752. Johannes on the ship, “Richard and Mary” John Moore, master, on Sep-tember 30, 1754. He came from Wuertenberg. John George, came in the ship “Sarah”, Francis Stansfield, captain, on September 20, 1764. The last who emigrated was John George, of the same name as the one before him, in the ship “Hero” on Oct. 27, 1764. According to the foregoing there came over to America five John Wetzels. Of these one settled in West Virginia in the “Pan Handle.” Looking on the map you will see one of the counties named Wetzel county which was so named in honor of the Wetzels of that place. He had five sons and two daughters. The sons were Martin, Louis, (who was known as the great Indian fighter), Jacob, John, and Geo. and the daughters were Susan and Christianna. The father, John Wetzel, was murdered by the Indians and Louis being of retaliating nature, determined on avenging the death of his father, and many were the Indians that went down at the crack of his rifle. He is mentioned in the book written on the life of “Daniel Boone.” It is said that he was fleet-footed and could run as fast as a deer. A second of these Wetzels settled in Packer township, Carbon County. He had four sons, John, Valentine, David, and Daniel, and four daughters, The daughters were married to Stephen Keber, James Troy, Lewis Hettinger and Phillip Hinkle. A saw mill was built many years ago on the property on one of the streams, a tributary of Quakake creek. The third of these John Wetzels settled near Macungie, in Lower Macungie township. He in all probability owned a farm a short distance above the borough of Macungie. This is the John Wetzel in all probability that gave the two acres of his land for a school building and purposes. This is the property on which is located the East Macungie school building, located only a short distance from where we are meeting today. Where the other two John Wetzels are I have not so far found out, neither the dates nor the places of their settling. The pioneer Wetzels all belonged to the Reformed Church, according to the records obtainable, excepting Conrad Wetzel, and a few others, who were Lutherans. They all took an active part in church work. We find them in the rec-ords of the “Great Swamp” church before 1740, in the records kept by Rev. Goethie. We also find them in the early records of Jerusalem’s church of WEtster Salisbury also the Zionville, Lehigh, Ziegel and other churches. We find their names in the records as members, of officers of the consistories, etc. The early or pioneer Wetzels also took an interest in education, as already stated, by the donation made by John Wetzel and his wife, Jane Wetzel. One Wetzel said, “When I leave I cannot leave to my sons a fair fortune but I can try to leave them a fair education.” The same old gentleman said further, (he was living after the organization of free schools) “If there is one tax that I prefer to pay above all other, it is the school tax, because that tax is used in edu-cating the rising generation.” In conclusion I will say, we like to read the life of Daniel Boone, the life of Patrick Henry, and of others. Why not just as well try and find out the life’s record of our early ancestors, who were just as much of our nation builders as the men whose names I have just stated, because they had to go through the same hardships as those men? From these ten or a dozen ancestors who came to America sprang all the Wetzels that we find in America to-day. We find them in nearly every county of our commonwealth and in nearly every state in the Union. We find them in all professions and trades, ministers of the Gospel, lawyers, teachers, carpenters, masons, etc. Let us try and find our ancestors, because that is a duty which I think we should try to perform. The celebrated Dr. Henry Harbaugh said, “He who does not care to know his ancestors, cares very little for things higher.”

I am attaching a simple version of the tree here showing where we come together. I don't agree with the information from your DVD regarding Johann Peter Wetzel being the same as the Peter Wetzel in Harrisonburg Twp., Rockingham Co., VA, since he was born in Longswamp Twp., and died and is buried in Longswamp Twp., Berks Co., PA. This is alot of travelling in a lifetime, and none Six generations of this outline is 24 pages, so I did 5 which is 10 in Family Tree maker format. It starts with our common ancestor Hans Nichlaus WETZEL father of my Jacob b abt 1711 and your Hans Martin b. abt 1700 and goes to my closest ancestor Peter WETZEL, Jr. b 1805 and your closest ancestor, George Lewis WETZEL b. 1785 In order for our names to appear on the tree, I would have had to do 8 generations, which would be 78 pages!!! As it is, this tree is a lot of data to take in. If you have any questions, let me know. My trouble isn't getting you connected, it's getting Jonathan connected. I'm sure he fits into the Hans Martin WETZEL bunch in VA, but I can't figure out where. I have been doing alot of research on Virginia WETZELs, but since the courthouses in these places don't copy wills and send them, I would have to make a trip there myself, or hire someone to do it. Unfortunately, I don't have time or money!! What your upgrade to 67 markers tells me is what I had suspected. That you two are from Hans Martin WETZELs line, and are a closer match than you and I or Jonathan and I. Yet, Jonathan is a closer match to me than you are, which means you probably have more generations from the common ancestor than either Jonathan or I. Although Hans Martin and his descendants came through MD on their way south, none of them stayed long enough to die and leave a will, so I struck out as far as getting to the courthouses near me. I collected some WETZEL baptisms from a church in Taneytown, MD last summer, but that's about it. The administration of the Wetzel DNA website is minimal work, so it is not that big of a deal. I mostly correspond to people who are interested in getting testing done, and try to make sense of the results when they come in by organizing according to haplogroup. The test results naturally group similar numbers within the haplogroup together. I have been working on other projects this fall and winter, and have recently gotten back into the WETZEL chase, much to the detriment of the other projects I have to return to. The summer will be a better time to pursue the WETZELs in earnest, and maybe take a road trip to VA.

  Website: Paulser Whetsel & Sarah Dove- http://webpages.charter.net/cwfw/ps03/ps03_034.htm Name Hans Nichol (Nicklaus) WETZEL Birth Lampertsloch Spouses 1 Maria Barbara MOTZ (MOTZIN) Birth Lampertsloch Father Hans MOTZ (MOTZIN) Mother Unknown UNKNOWN Children Martin (Hans Martin) (1700-1760) John Jacob (1710-1785) Notes for Hans Nichol (Nicklaus) WETZEL Hans Nichol (Nicklaus) Wetzel and wife, Maria Barbara Motz (Motzin,) are listed as the parents of Hans Martin Wetzel, born September 6, 1700. (Source: Annette Kunseman Burgert's " Eighteenth Century Immigrants from the Northern Alsace to America" name 552, p. 539) Hans Nichol (Nicklaus) Wetzel is listed as a master miller. This information was taken from the Preuschdorf Lutheran KB Church records. The village of Preuschdorf was in the Bas-Rhin area of France, which was contested by France and Germany, from the time of the Protestant Reformation until the end of World War 2.

I am attaching a simple version of the tree here showing where we come together. I don't agree with the information from your DVD regarding Johann Peter Wetzel being the same as the Peter Wetzel in Harrisonburg Twp., Rockingham Co., VA, since he was born in Longswamp Twp., and died and is buried in Longswamp Twp., Berks Co., PA. This is alot of travelling in a lifetime, and none Six generations of this outline is 24 pages, so I did 5 which is 10 in Family Tree maker format. It starts with our common ancestor Hans Nichlaus WETZEL father of my Jacob b abt 1711 and your Hans Martin b. abt 1700 and goes to my closest ancestor Peter WETZEL, Jr. b 1805 and your closest ancestor, George Lewis WETZEL b. 1785 In order for our names to appear on the tree, I would have had to do 8 generations, which would be 78 pages!!! As it is, this tree is a lot of data to take in. If you have any questions, let me know. My trouble isn't getting you connected, it's getting Jonathan connected. I'm sure he fits into the Hans Martin WETZEL bunch in VA, but I can't figure out where. I have been doing alot of research on Virginia WETZELs, but since the courthouses in these places don't copy wills and send them, I would have to make a trip there myself, or hire someone to do it. Unfortunately, I don't have time or money!! What your upgrade to 67 markers tells me is what I had suspected. That you two are from Hans Martin WETZELs line, and are a closer match than you and I or Jonathan and I. Yet, Jonathan is a closer match to me than you are, which means you probably have more generations from the common ancestor than either Jonathan or I. Although Hans Martin and his descendants came through MD on their way south, none of them stayed long enough to die and leave a will, so I struck out as far as getting to the courthouses near me. I collected some WETZEL baptisms from a church in Taneytown, MD last summer, but that's about it. The administration of the Wetzel DNA website is minimal work, so it is not that big of a deal. I mostly correspond to people who are interested in getting testing done, and try to make sense of the results when they come in by organizing according to haplogroup. The test results naturally group similar numbers within the haplogroup together. I have been working on other projects this fall and winter, and have recently gotten back into the WETZEL chase, much to the detriment of the other projects I have to return to.

Paulser & Sarah lived, for a time, on Bays Mt., in Sullivan Co., TN . They raised 9 children: James H. Whetsel; Martha R. Whetsel; Mary E. (Marietta) Whetsel, wife of James Ledbetter; John Whetsel; Susan Elizabeth Whetsel, wife of James Rowland, and later, Adam Brown; Sarah M. Whetsel; Solomon Whetsel, who married Abigale Crawford; and Conard William Whetsel, who married Nannie Catherine Davis. Sarah Dove's father, James Dove, was a veteran of the War of 1812. A monument stands at the grave site in Rockingham County, Virginia, honoring the service of James to his country. It can be seen at: http://webpages.charter.net/cwfw/Photographs/JamesDoveWarMarker.jpg Paulser Whetsel & his family lived in a log cabin, on Bays Mountain, where they depended upon the land for their existence. The cabin in the photo above, was the home of the Ledbetter family. Paulser's daughter married the Rev. James Ledbetter. The cabin has been moved and restored by a Ledbetter descendant. The photo is used with permission of the photographer and the Ledbetter family. A map showing the cabins on Bays Mt. is at: http://webpages.charter.net/cwfw/Photographs/WhetselCabinsBaysMt.jpg Paulser Whetsel's siser, Sarah (Sally) Wetzel/Whetsel, married Paulser Moyer. Sarah and Paulser Moyer's daughter, Catherine, married Captain James M. May, a Civil War soldier. Catherine and James May's son, Henry B. May, migrated from Virginia to Guatemala, where he was instrumental in the development of the Inter-continental railway. Henry Braxton May's descendants today, carry his name, Enrique (Henry) Braxton May. For more information on the May family, go to "May" in the index. Paulser was a descendant of Hans Martin (Martin) WETZEL and Maria Barbara GEIST, who arrived in America, aboard the "Britannia," in 1731, from Preuschdorf, France. One of the sons of Martin WETZEL was John WETZEL, known as "Captain John." Captain John WETZEL & his sons were colorful, interesting characters from the days of the American frontier, the Indian uprisings, The American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. To learn more about these Wetzels, go to the INDEX, and click on: Captain John WETZEL; Jacob Wetzel; and Lewis Wetzel. Martin WETZEL and his family were affiliated with the Lutheran Church, in Preuschdorf, and in Pennsylvania.

K. Wetzel (1) fact 20250718GHLn- 20250718GHLn- Larry Conner originally shared this on 7 Jun 2024 THE EARLY WETZELS OF AMERICA The Morning Call in Allentown, PA 2 Sep 1912 pg 9, Mon Written by S.K. Wetzel and read by Anson J.J. Wetzel at the sixth annual reunion of the Wetzel family, held in Barner’s Grove, Macungie, August 17, 1912 Linked to Johannes Martin Wetzel Johanns Marten Niclaus Wetzel Maria Barbara Motz The “Early Wetzels” the “The First Wetzels” or the “Pioneer Wetzels” of America, by whichever name you want to call them, according to tradition and the early records of the family, came from the “Palatinate” in Germany, and therefore were “German Palatinates” and spoke the German language, a language different from that spoken in the high countries of Germany. The Wetzels who came to America, like all other families, have probably descended from one common ancestor. How the surname Wetzel originated is a question which I am unable to answer. The first Wetzel who came to America was Hans Martin Wetzel. He came over in the ship “Brittania” and qualified by taking the oath of allegiance at Philadelphia, September 21, 1731. His age at that time was 31 years. His wife who came with him, Maria Barbara was 33 years old. On the same ship were the following children: Hans Martin Wetzel, Jr., aged six years; Nicholas Wetzel, aged four years, and Catharine Wetzel, aged three years. Those three children were probably those of Hans Martin and Maria Barbara Wetzel. This is taken from the Pennsylvania Ar-chives, pages 29, 34, and 35. Hans Martin Wetzel settled in that territory now embraced in Lehigh county. It is near the present line of Berks and Lehigh counties. The old Wetzel homestead, located near St. Peter’s Church, in Upper Milford townships was in all probability built by him. It was built in 1740, and was built of logs, and was occupied until the year 1900. The second Wetzel who came to America was John Jacob, who with his wife Barbar came in the ship “Charming Polly,” Captain of the ship was Charles Steadman, of London. He qualified, October 8, 1737, and located in Here-ford township, Berks County, only several miles distant where his brother Hans Martin had settled. The third Wetzel who emigrated to America was Phillip Wetzel. He came in the ship “Davy.” of which William Patton was the com-mander. He qualified on October 25, 1738. If he was married or where he settled I can not say as I have found no further records about him. That a kinship existed between these three Wetzels can not be doubted, and it is very probable that they were three brothers, found among the emigrant ancestors of so many American families. Other Wetzel’s who emigrated to America are as follows: John Werner Wetzel, who came in the ship “Queen Eliza-beth,” Captain Alexander Hope, he qualified September 16, 1738; Jacob Wetzel, who came in the ship “Ann Gally,” Captain William Wilson. He qualified September 16, 1738, which was in the same year in which the Rev. Michael Schlatter, the Reformed Missionary came to America. He settled in Lower Milford. A warrant was issued to the said Jacob Wetzel on July 1, 1734, for a tract of land of 160 acres in 1754 for another tract of 51 acres and 39 perches. On the first tract of proprietary patent was granted on September 10, 1747, and on the other on Aug 9, 1754 both to Jacob Wetzel. On April 4, 1771, a third patent was granted to said Jacob Wetzel for a tract of 47 acres called “Mount Faith.” The first two tracts he sold to his son, Peter, in 1765. It is now in possession of the Eberhard’s. Another Wet-zel, Conrad Wetzel. It is not known when he came to America, but he settled near the Moravian town of Emaus. He had two warrants of land issued to him, the first dated, February 25, 1734, for 145 acres and 53 perches to the said Conrad Wetzel, Esq. He was for a number of years a Justice of the Peace, but as he did not comply with the condi-tions of the warrant said warrant was transferred to Peter Moyer, January 10, 1749, and was patented to Christian Miller, of Long Swamp, December 14, 1762. A second patent was granted in 1748 for 164 acres, sold in 1753 to George Stahlnecker, patent granted, February 20, 1754. This tract is situated in Lower Milford. Hans George Wetzel came over in the ship “Bennet Gally”, John Waltham, master. He qualified August 13, 1750. Christopher Wetzel emigrated in the ship “Nancy”. Thomas Canton, master, August 31, 1750. George Wetzel came in the ship, “Anderson,” Hugh Campbell, captain, September 27, 1752. John Jacob, came in the ship “Phoenix”, John Spurrier, commander, Nov. 2, 1752. Johannes on the ship, “Richard and Mary” John Moore, master, on Sep-tember 30, 1754. He came from Wuertenberg. John George, came in the ship “Sarah”, Francis Stansfield, captain, on September 20, 1764. The last who emigrated was John George, of the same name as the one before him, in the ship “Hero” on Oct. 27, 1764. According to the foregoing there came over to America five John Wetzels. Of these one settled in West Virginia in the “Pan Handle.” Looking on the map you will see one of the counties named Wetzel county which was so named in honor of the Wetzels of that place. He had five sons and two daughters. The sons were Martin, Louis, (who was known as the great Indian fighter), Jacob, John, and Geo. and the daughters were Susan and Christianna. The father, John Wetzel, was murdered by the Indians and Louis being of retaliating nature, determined on avenging the death of his father, and many were the Indians that went down at the crack of his rifle. He is mentioned in the book written on the life of “Daniel Boone.” It is said that he was fleet-footed and could run as fast as a deer. A second of these Wetzels settled in Packer township, Carbon County. He had four sons, John, Valentine, David, and Daniel, and four daughters, The daughters were married to Stephen Keber, James Troy, Lewis Hettinger and Phillip Hinkle. A saw mill was built many years ago on the property on one of the streams, a tributary of Quakake creek. The third of these John Wetzels settled near Macungie, in Lower Macungie township. He in all probability owned a farm a short distance above the borough of Macungie. This is the John Wetzel in all probability that gave the two acres of his land for a school building and purposes. This is the property on which is located the East Macungie school building, located only a short distance from where we are meeting today. Where the other two John Wetzels are I have not so far found out, neither the dates nor the places of their settling. The pioneer Wetzels all belonged to the Reformed Church, according to the records obtainable, excepting Conrad Wetzel, and a few others, who were Lutherans. They all took an active part in church work. We find them in the rec-ords of the “Great Swamp” church before 1740, in the records kept by Rev. Goethie. We also find them in the early records of Jerusalem’s church of WEtster Salisbury also the Zionville, Lehigh, Ziegel and other churches. We find their names in the records as members, of officers of the consistories, etc. The early or pioneer Wetzels also took an interest in education, as already stated, by the donation made by John Wetzel and his wife, Jane Wetzel. One Wetzel said, “When I leave I cannot leave to my sons a fair fortune but I can try to leave them a fair education.” The same old gentleman said further, (he was living after the organization of free schools) “If there is one tax that I prefer to pay above all other, it is the school tax, because that tax is used in edu-cating the rising generation.” In conclusion I will say, we like to read the life of Daniel Boone, the life of Patrick Henry, and of others. Why not just as well try and find out the life’s record of our early ancestors, who were just as much of our nation builders as the men whose names I have just stated, because they had to go through the same hardships as those men? From these ten or a dozen ancestors who came to America sprang all the Wetzels that we find in America to-day. We find them in nearly every county of our commonwealth and in nearly every state in the Union. We find them in all professions and trades, ministers of the Gospel, lawyers, teachers, carpenters, masons, etc. Let us try and find our ancestors, because that is a duty which I think we should try to perform. The celebrated Dr. Henry Harbaugh said, “He who does not care to know his ancestors, cares very little for things higher.” [S1701] e-mail: michelegenealogy@aol.com, Michele Trump, 8th cousin w me; Jon?. michelegenealogy (19) facts ....

We indeed have a match of 35 loci. And in addition, another match with John Christy Wetzel. I am sorry that I don't have more time to devote to this endeavor right now, but I am looking forward to working on this when I am finished my cemetery book. In the mean time, I looked up John's tree online and found it http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/e/t/John-C-Wetzel/TREE/0001tree.html Based on the information in the tree, he fits into my tree and we are 8th cousins. I know I have forwarded my tree before, but I am going to send another so that you guys can try to plug into it. The problem is that a tree with 7 generations produces an outline descendant tree that is 43 pages long, so I put it in an outline form with minimal information. Hans Martin WETZEL and Jacbo WETZEL are brothers, both sons of ? WETZEL _?_ WETZEL ---brothers--- Hans Martin WETZEL b abt 1700 Jacob WETZEL b abt 1711 John WETZEL b 1733 m.

I believe that you are both related to me through Hans Martin WETZEL, who went a little farther afield than any of my ancestors did. (considering I'm the only one in the tree on the right above that lived anywhere other than PA) Maybe Peter WETZEL b 1769 is a brother of Martin b. 1757 m. Mary BONNETT. Jean Jaques BONNETT, father of Mary BONNETT was mentioned in the book "Pioneers of Old Monocacy" by Grace L. Tracey & John P. Dern. This puts them in MD at some point if he is considered a "pioneer". Also, Hans Martin WETZEL, Jr. , brother of John WETZEL b 1733 and s/o Hans Martin WETZEL b. abt 1700 baptized 5 children at Monocacy Lutheran Church in Frederick Co., MD. Maybe Peter WETZEL b. 1769 is a grandson of Hans Martin WETZEL, Jr. Maybe with this information, you can zero in on the connection between you two and John C. WETZEL. Michele
