Several researchers show John Pence, born 1706, some with son Whyrig, but many other combinations of children and alternate death dates of 1778 or 1795, and father Martin Bentz, and wife Maria Salomonsen or Anna Maria Barbara Schlauch. Several of the birth years we show for Weirich's children are undocumented from other researchers. We seek documentation about how these families might fit together. We suspect that Weirich Pence and Johannes Bentz are being confused. [95] [96]
