Notes for Peter Weigel and Mary Magdalena Wittmeyer

1744 Peter Weigle, son of Martin Weigel, was born on April 23, according to an Orphan's Court record (dated 1762) made by his guardian. No record of his baptism or birth is known to us. His parents, Martin Weigel and Anna Dorothea Friedel, attended a church in York, York County, Pennsylvania, according to baptism records of his brothers. Peter's father died when Peter was about 14 years old.

c 1751 The birthdate of Mary Magdalena Wittmeyer, daughter of Simon Wittmeyer and Anna Maria Klingenmeyer, is unknown to us. Her siblings were born in 1755 and 1761. She might be the female, age 45, listed in an 1800 census record for son John in North Carolina. Other researchers have suggested a date of about 1751, which is plausible.

1759 "Came into [York County Orphans'] Court Dorothea the widow of Martin Wygle late of Manchester Township deceased and prayed the Court appoint some proper person guardian of Peter Wygle and Henry Wygle minor orphans sons of the aforesaid Martin uner the age of fourteen years," on March 28. Baltzer Spengler of York Township was appointed guardian of both. Jacob (age 19 on 19 November, last) and Leonhard (age 15 last April) Wygal chose George Koontz as guardian. [1] The court incorrectly listed Peter as being under the age of 14, although he was 15, soon to be 16, according to the 1762 Orphans' Court record.

1762 "Came into court Baltzer Spengler guardian of Peter Wykel a minor orphan son of Martin Wykel late of Manchester Township yeoman deceased aged eighteen years the twenty third day of April last, and prayed that the said Peter may be bound an apprentice to Martin Frey of York Township locksmith," on December 1. With his mother's consent, the court bound Peter to learn the Art or mystery of a Locksmith...to read the Bible, to write and Arithmetick as far as the rule of three direct ... and at the end of his apprenticeship to receive a new vize of the value of Forty shillings and two Suits of Apparel, one whereof shall be new and of the value of Six Pounds or Six Pounds in Money which the said Apprentice shall then Chuse." [2]

1772 Basten [Sebastian], Martin, Peter, and Leonard Wagel were taxed in Manchester Twp, York County. [3] Leonard and Peter might be listed separately, as unmarried, but the listing is not at all clear.

Tryon County was abolished in 1779 and Lincoln County and Rutherford County were created from it. [29]

1799 Peter Wigle sold land, on March 3, to Daniel Johnston in Rutherford County, North Carolina. The deed reports year 1790, but refers to two tracts, one of which Peter had purchased from William Smart in 1793, and the other matches the description of the tract purchased from Aaron Deveny. [30]

1799 Peter Weigel died in Rutherford County, North Carolina. [31]

Research Notes:

We are uncertin about which men named Peter Weigle and son named John Weigle lived in Pennsylvania or North Carolina during certain periods of time.

We are researching Peter Weigle, father of John Weigle. We suspect that Peter, father of John, was the same person as Peter, the son of Martin Weigle, named in the 1759 Orphan's Court document. Notes for more than one person named Peter Weigle are listed here, perhaps. There are documents from North Carolina and there are several documents that might relate to different men named Peter Weigel in Pennsylvania, especially with dates after 1800. A York County deed names Peter Weigle (of Bastian) and Peter Weigel (of Martin) as two different men. We do not know how many different men were named in these documents. We suspect that Peter Weigel, who died in 1828, was a son of Martin Weigel and was a nephew of this Peter Weigel.

Maria Magdaline, widow of Peter Wikle lived in North Carolina during this time period. Some researchers suggest that Peter Wikle of North Carolina and Peter Weigle of Pennsylvania were the same person. We now show them as the same family, because several children of Wikle of North Carolina are DNA matched cousins of Robert. We seek further evidence clarifying this potential relationship. Note that John Wikel, heir of Peter Wikle of North Carolina, was named in a North Carolina documents dated 1804 to 1821, so he was likely not the same person as John Weigle of Adams County, Pennsylvania during that period.

Samuel Wikle was named in a biosketch of Jeptha Wikle. [54]:

This is a story about my grandfather, Jeptha Wikle. Jeptha lived in the Kaufman area approximately twenty years, from about 1844 to 1864. But first, let's go back and start with the story of the first member of our family to arrive in America.

Johann Martin Weigel was born in Saalbach, Germany in 1703. In 1729, Johann married Dorothea Triddell. In 1732, they embarked for America and settled in York County, Pennsylvania, where they built and operated a mill. Johann was the progenitor of many descendants whose names have been spelled, variously, Weigel, Weikle, Weichel, Weigle, Wikel, and Wikle. On the 1860 census in Kaufman, we found the name spelled Wackle.

My great-great grandfather, Peter Weigel, was one of eleven children born to Johann and Dorothea. About 1771 Peter married Maria Magdalena Witmeyer. Peter was a skil [?] Revolutionary Army in that capacity. Following the Revolutionary War, Peter and family moved to Virginia, where they lived until about 1787, when they moved to Tenne County, North Carolina, where Peter built and operated a mill. About 1799, Peter and a brother and two sons, started [?] other Wikles. En route, all four of them were killed by Indians.

My great-grandfather, Samuel, was one of eleven children born to Peter and Mary. Samuel was born about 1789. In 1823, Samuel married Ester Bandy and they lived in North Carolina, where they farmed and raised hogs. Ester was born in South Carolina in 1800. Samuel died in 1844. The following year Ester and her family moved to a farm in Georgia, located near that would now be the outskirts of Atlanta.

My grandfather Jeptha was one of twelve children born to Samuel and Eester. He was born in 1824. After Samuel's death, my grandfather Jeptha, and his brother, Henry, decided to go West. They located in Kaufman County, Texas. …

Research Notes:

Some researchers report that Peter Weigel had married Magdalena Witmeyer in Pennsylvania and then died in Rutherford County, North Carolina and that widow Mary Magdalena Witmeyer Weigel then married Michael Tanner/Danner. [55] However, several documents seem inconsistent with the move to North Carolina. Why did Magdalena's father, Simon Witmeyer, in his 1801 Pennsylvania will, name Magdalena as the wife of Peter Weigel, if she had married Michael Danner in 1800, and who was Peter Weikel with notes due to Simon Witmeyer in 1806 in Pennsylvania? There are many documents in York County referring to men named Peter Weigle, after 1790, when Peter Wikle first appeared in North Carolina documents.

1800 Peter Weigle, cordwainer, was listed on the septennial census for Dover Twp, York County, Pennsylvania. [56]

1801 Magdalena's father, Simon Witmeyer, died and his will, dated September 10 in York County, named daughter Magdalena, wife of Peter Weigle.

1805 Christina [Hass], intermarried with Peter Weigle, was named as an heir of John Hass, deceased, in the York County Orphans Court records. [60]

1806 The account of the estate of Simon Witmeyer mentioned two bonds and a book account payable by Peter Weikel.

1807 Peter Weickle was listed on the septennial census for West Manchester Twp, York County, Pennsylvania. [61]

1810 On December 12, Peter Weigle [Wygle] was granted 168.83 acres in West Manchester Twp, York County, by John Penn's attorney, John R Coates.

[62] [63]

1810 Two Peter Weigle families lived in West Manchester, York County, Pennsylvania, neither the correct age to be this Peter. We suspect that one was nephew Peter Weigle, son of Martin and one was nephew Peter, son of Sebastian.

1810 Peter Weigle lived in West Manchester Twp, York County, Pennsylvania in a household with males: 1 (under 10), 1 (16 thru 25), and 1 (26 thru 44); and females: 4 (under 10), 1 (10 thru 15), and 2 (26 thru 44). [64] Listed nearby was the family of Simon Wittmeyer (Jr) (Peter's brother-in-law) and of Philip Wolfe and George Isenhard (named as neighbors in Simon Witmeyer Sr's will).

1810 Peter Weikle lived in West Manchester Twp, York County, Pennsylvania in a household with males: 1 (under 10), 1 (10 thru 15), and 1 (26 thru 44); and females: 3 (under 10) and 1 (26 thru 44). [65] Nearby was Leonard Weigle (Peter's brother) and his wife, both age 45+.

1813 On December 27, Peter Weigle (of Bastian) and wife Catharina, of West Manchester, sold land to Peter Weigle (of Martin [perhaps a son of Martin Weigle and Margaret Opp]), of the same place. The land had been sold to Henry Weigle and Peter Weigle (of Bastian), and then sold by Henry and Anna Maria Weigle and Peter and Catharina Weigle to Sigfried Schneider. Sigfried and Catharina Schneider then sold the land back to Peter Weigle (of Bastian). [66]

1817 Peter Weigle (father) granted land in Dover and Manchester to John Weigle (son) on 11 April [67]

1820 Two Peter Weigle families lived in West Manchester, York County, Pennsylvania, neither the correct age to be this Peter. We suspect that one was nephew Peter Weigle, son of Martin and one was nephew Peter, son of Sebastian.

1820 Peter Weigle lived in West Manchester Twp, York County, Pennsylvania in a household with males: 1 (under 10) and 1 (26 thru 44); and females: 3 (under 10) and 1 (16 thru 25). [68]

1820 Peter Weigle, Far[mer], lived in West Manchester Twp, York County, Pennsylvania in a household with males: 2 (under 10), 1 (16 thru 18), 1 (16 thru 25), and 1 (26 thru 44); and females: 3 (under 10), 3 (10 thru 15), 2 (16 thru 25), and 1 (26 thru 44). [69] [70]

Listed nearby was the family of Simon Wittmeyer (Jr) (Peter's brother-in-law) and of Philip Wolfe and George Isenhard (named as neighbors in Simon Witmeyer Sr's will). Also nearby was Leonard Weigle (Peter's brother) and his wife, both age 45+.

1805 On December 17, heirs of John Hass of Dover Twp, York County, including widow Magdalena, Peter Weigel and wife Christeni, John Hass junior, Christian Graff and wife Mary, Joseph Koch and wife Sarah, Henry Linebauch and wife Barbara, Catharina Hass, and Elizabeth Hass granted their inheritance to brother Joseph Hass, since the will of John Hass, deceased, had been lost. [71]

1833 Mary Weigle, perhaps this widow Mary (Magdalena Witmeyer) Weigle, died in 1833 in West Manchester Twp, York County. [72]
