Research Notes:
1809 The partition of land from a Patent involved Peter Wildeson and wife Anna Marie, George Wildeson, and Jacob Wildeson and wife Catharine. Christian Millheim had been granted some of the land. Based on the names of the wives, Peter was perhaps a son of Samuel and Jacob was his uncle, son of the immigrant Johannes. George was, perhaps, a son of Samuel.
Jacob Wildasin reportedly married Catherine Motter. Note that the 1795 will of George Motter named a daughter Catherine married to another person, so George Marter was not the father of the wife of Jacob Wildasin. [31]
Jacob and Catherine Wildasin had 12 children, among them Samuel (1785-1805), who married Anna Mary and died soon after his marriage. [32]
