A biosketch reports [74]:
Wenger. Among the old families of Lancaster county that date their settlement back to the early part of the eighteenth century few, if any, have attained a greater prominence than the one here under consideration. The founder was Christian Wenger, a Swiss emigrant, who, in 1727, located at Grotfdale, West Earl township, purchasing in consideration of forty pounds a farm of three hundred acres from Hans Grotf, who had been granted a tract of 1500 acres direct from William Penn. The selection of this 'tract for his future home by Christian Wenger was a matter of pure accident, or chance. After his arrival in America he had stopped for a short time at Germantown. Proceeding westward, his horses went astray and in searching for them he discovered the beautiful valley at Grotfdale and was so well pleased with the place that he forthwith decided to settle there. accordingly purchasing the tract as noted above. Here he reared his family and spent the remaining years of his life. The old homestead, or a portion of it. is still in the possession of a descendant, Michael E. Wenger. of the fifth generation from the founder of the family. Christian Wenger and his wife had a family of three sons - Michael, John and Henry - and a daughter who became the wife of Christian Weaver. Jacob Wenger, a prominent coach manufacturer of Paradise township, Lancaster county, is of the sixth generation from Christian Wenger, the emigrant. …
Family Tradition that says that Christian Wenger's father Ulrich Wenger came to America as early as 1717 and became an employee of of the Mennonite Pioneer, Hans Groff, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In a story of straying horses, this employee, Ullrich Wenger, and several of the sons of Hans Groff tracked the straying animals north to a spring, which is now known as Groff's Spring in West Earl Twp in Lancaster County. Wenger and the Groff boys reported that the land around the spring was more fertile than where they were then living, as evidenced by the larger trees. Hans Groff then secured land in this area including 291 acres for his employee Ullrich. Ullrich then returned to Europe and arranged for his son Christian, Immigrant of 1727, to take posession of the land. [75]
Research Notes:
Some researchers name Christian Wenger as Christian Ulrich Wenger. None of the documents we have found so far report the name Ulrich. This name may derive from an apparent error in the otherwise definitive Wenger Book which reports "The name Ullrich was the name given to him at his christening, and it is quite likely that the family gave him a more common name - we are guessing Christian; and on this assumption, he will hereafter be referred to as Ullrich Christian Wenger". [76] In fact, bothe the Röthenbach and the Eggiwil baptism records report the name Christan.
We seek evidence supporting the assumptions made in the notes above:
Was Christian Wenger, who immigrated on the Molly and settled in Pennsylvania with wife Eve, the same as Christian Wenger, born in Röthenbach in 1698?
Was Eve, the wife of Christian Wenger, named Graybill?
Did Eve immigrate on the Molly with her brother Michael and cousin Henry?

A memorial stone to Ulrich Christian Wenger and Eve Grabiel was placed at Groffdale Mennonite Brick Church Cemetery, Leola, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [95]
A biosketch of great-grandson Clayton S. Wenger [96] reports:
The early records of the family of which Clayton S. Wenger is a worthy representative, tell of its establishment in America, and trace clearly this particular branch in Lancaster county. In the early days in the settlement of the State of Pennsylvania, three brothers by the name of Wenger, left their home in the Old World and sailed for America, but one brother died on the long voyage. Only Henry and Christian reaching these shores. Henry Wenger settled near Pottstown, Pa., and Christian came into Lancaster county. where he bought 289 acres of land, in West Earl township, from William Penn, for the sum of £44, 16s, this transaction taking place in 1741, and the land is still in the possession of the family.
Christian Wenger and his wife, Eve, had these children: Michael, John, and Henry. Michael succeeded his father in the old home, which was deeded to him in 1764, and he became the father of the noted Mennonite minister, Rev. Joseph Wenger, and the latter was the father of the no less noted Rev. Michael Wenger. The latter lived on the old homestead and left the property to his son Joseph, who lived and died there, leaving the farm to his son Michael Wenger, who was the grandfather of Clayton S. Wenger, of this biography.
