Zion [Lutheran Church]'s roots have their beginning with the first German Lutheran Congregation west of the Susquehanna River. The German Lutheran Congregation “on the Codorus” was organized September 23, 1733, near what, eight years later, became the site of York. In 1781 it adopted a constitution, known as the “Kirchen Ordnung,” which gives the name “Christ Church” to the place of worship. On May 2, 1804, it was incorporated as “The Minister, Elders and Church Wardens of the German Lutheran Congregation in and near the borough of York in the County of York in the State of Pennsylvania.” A building was erected on a site donated in 1743 by the heirs of William Penn. Today this congregation is known as Christ Lutheran Church and is located on George Street in center city York. [6]

Research Notes:
Some researchers report that this John Weigle, who died in 1864 in Adams County, was a son of Peter Weigle and Mary Wittmeyer. However, that concensus was generally reached before it was recognized that Peter Weigel moved to North Carolina before his death and that son John Weigle apparently moved there with him. We seek further evidence about this possible relationship.
We show wife Margaret as Margaret Pence based on several DNA matches that Robert Wolfe has with descendants of Pence families. Several of these descendants also match with other descendants of Jonas Weigle, suggesting that there might be a link to Margaret. We seek further evidence of this potential relationship.
