Notes for GEORG WOLFGANG WISSINGER,*:
* Other surname spellings: WIESINGER, WÜßINGER, WÜsinger
* Mittelramstadt lies about 50 kilometers southwest of Nurnberg, Bavaria and about 30 kilometers northwest of
Augsburg.
* Leutershausen is a town in the district of Ansbach, in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the river Altmühl, 12
km west of Ansbach
* Page I of The Wissinger Genealogy, Donald O. Wissinger states: "Quite possible that George Wolfgang
Wissinger descended from the long line of Wolfgang Wisinger family members who were goldsmiths living at
Augsburg." While, this line may be related, direct lineage appears to be unlikely.

and died 28 Feb 1727/28 in Dornberg, Gross-Gerau Parish, Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany74. He married ANNA
FELIZITAS RUNGER75 01 Dec 1693 in Gross Gerau Parish, Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany75,76, daughter of JOHANN

Hesse, Germany77, and died Aug 1756 in Dornberg, Gross-Gerau Parish, Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany77.
Notes for JOHANN GEORG 'GEORGIUS' WISSINGER,*:
From: Kathie Weigel - "Johan Georg Wissinger (1660-1827) was the only Wissinger originally found in the
Gross-Gerau area, having migrated there from Bavaria and married a local woman. All Wissingers from GrossGerau must therefore descend from him. Georg had 4 children old enough to be the parent of Ludwig, b 1718:
4
Barthel, George, Anna Maria and Margretha. I have very carefully examined the registers at Gross-Gerau. They
are very complete; no years are missing and each year contains a large number of births, marriages, deaths and
confirmations. Illegitimate children are included in abundance in the birth register, as well as stillbirths. There
seems to be no reason to believe that any area children have been missed. Barthel married in Jan 1718, and had
several children, but no son Ludwig. Georg (Jr.) died in his early 30's, unmarried. Margaretha died at age 15 and
Anna Maria died in her 30's, also unmarried. No record was found of any Wissinger daughter having an
illegitimate son named Ludwig, nor were there any Ludwig's born in the ca 1718 time period to any local girls
with no father named. In fact, for the time period 1716-1720 there are only one or two children named Ludwig,
and they have identifiable parents and no connections with the Wissingers. No confirmation were found for any
Ludwig Wissinger in the early 1730's."
From: Kathie Weigel - "The Wissinger progenator, Johan Georg, had a son Johan Ludwig born in 1703. This
Ludwig was living in 1717 when he was confirmed on the second Sunday past Trinity. He never again appears in
the registers. There is no record of his death or marriage at Gross-Gerau. All of his siblings except one (Anna
Barbara) are all accounted for."

09 Sep 1793 in Near Middletown, Frederick Cnty, Maryland at age 74140,141.
Notes for JOHANN LUDWIG 'LEWIS' WISSINGER,*:
Arrived in Philadelphia on ship "Friendship" 23 Sept 1740, William Vettery, Commander from Rotterdam.
Married after arriving in America in York Cnty, PA
CHILDREN (10): Peter, Balthasar, Barbara/Elizabeth (Barbary), George, Catherine, Ludwig and Jacob; Plus:
Henry, Rebecca and Sophia who died as infants
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Wissinger Genealogy" by Donald O. Wissinger, pg. 7 - 8:
". . . he {Johann Ludwig} came to America unmarried, in the ship "Friendship," William Vittery, Comd., from
Rotterdam; he imported at Philadelphia, PA., on Sept. 23, 1740; on original ship's list of passengers it is found
that Ludwig did not sign his name, but made his mark, having someone else write in his name for him . . ."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "The Adam J. Follmar Family & Related Families":
"He and Catherine joined a group of like-minded protestants, and in 1750, they built a log structure for their
church. This building was shared by the Lutheran and the Reformed congregations. In 1771, the Lutherans, the
group espoused by Johann Ludewig and family, purchased an acre of land from Mr. Conrad Crone. It was
located on Main Street in Middletown. In 1783, they built a sextangular log structure for their services when the
two groups separated. Johann Ludewig lived and raised his family in this area until his death at the age of sixty."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On March 20, 1771, a deed was signed by Conrad Crone for a parcel of ground in Middletown giving it to the
trustees of a Lutheran church to be built on the site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Wissinger Family History" by Howard Wissinger:
"The sextangular structure was used until 1814 when they built a brick structure. Then in 1859, this building was
replaced by another larger brick structure which is standing and in use today. This building was used by the
Government as a look-out and hospital during the Civil War. A plaque on the front of the Church will verify
this."
10
"In May of 1960 the congregation decided to remove a small cemetery from the rear of the Church to make room
for an elementary annex. About 100 graves were moved to a nearby larger cemetery. Ludewig's grave could
have been one of them. I can find no record where Ludewig was buried. Three of his children died before the
Church owned this land. The children are no doubt buried on the farm where they lived and Ludewig could have
been buried with them. His farm was about a mile out of Middletown."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evangelical Reformed Church of the City of Frederick, Maryland
From: History of Western Maryland, by J. Thomas Scharf, pg 32-33
This church was established by the German immigrants from the Palatinate, who settled on the present site of
Frederick City prior to 1740. No records of the church, however, have been preserved earlier than 1747. A
second church was consecrated May 14, 1747 and stood at the lower end of what is now known as the old
Reformed graveyard near Patrick Street.

coffee pot, six cups, one iron pot, one frying pan, one pair tongs and shovel, one pokerrack, one milk pail with
handle, one chair, all my hops, I have now in the house. All the grain I have now in the house. And the grain in
the field that is now growing. One Bible, three knives and forks, and the use of my drilling plantation for and
during her natural life. Except two acres here of which belongs to my son Peter. Secondly after the death of my
wife I give and bequeath unto my sons and daughters, share and share alike, all the remainder of my personal
estate, and the real estate where-with I am possessed, to be share and share alike. In a manner agreeable to the
purpose and tenor of my son Peter Wissinger's bond. And lastly I nominate and appoint my living wife Catherine

my seal and signed this 11th day of March 1779.

Marriage Notes for PETER WISSINGER and MARIA WEIL:
From Bob Fouts: Regarding Peter's marriage to Maria Susanna Weil; I've never seen documented proof. The
Weil family bible only sites Susanna's birth year with no marriage reference. I believe that 2 resident
genealogists here in Frederick County made an indirect connection because Peter and Maria Susanna's second
child was named Johann Georg which was also the name of Susanna Weil's father. The baptism was
sponsored by George Peter Weil, brother to Susanna.

Amongst the earliest settlers of the parish were the Nagles, Burgoons, Weaklands, Adamses, Dawsons,
McGoughs and some others. As some of the veterans of the Revolutionary War settled in this section,
especially the Nagles, the writer deems it expedient to give the names of all of those patriots of the county as
found on the tablet of the soldiers' monument in Ebensburg, after interpolating that of Solomon Adams, who
as already stated, lived within the borders of Cambria County before that war, who he has reason to believe,
from a history he has read, was afterwards a captain in the army of Washington: Captain, Michael McGuire;

Cambria from Frederick, Maryland 1793. He located on a tract of land near the Dunkard church above
Walnut Grove, on the Bedford road. He died about March, 1842. He had thirteen children and probably
fourteen, as there were two by the name of Susannah, but they had different marriage names. He made a

others were: John, Catherine Wissinger- Brumbaugh, Mary Wissinger-Anderson (see John Horner), Daniel,
Esther Wissinger- Snyder, Lewis, Elizabeth Wissinger-Stutzman, David, Samuel, George, Isaac and Jacob
Wissinger. Lewis Wissinger, his son, was born June 21, 1793, and died Sept. 21, 1895. About 1818 he
married Barbara Strayer, who died about 1835; they had five children. Sarah married David Kauffman, of
Croyle township; and Eli and John Wissinger. His second marriage was with Margaret Lint, and they had six
children: Harry, Esther, who died in her twenty-third year; Samuel, Barbara, married to Peter Keiper; Annie,

Joseph Johns, or Yahns, a professor in the Amish communion, and an industrious and honest man, laid out
Conemaugh bottom into town lots about 1800. Those who assisted him to lay out the town and who became
its first citizens were Peter Goughnour, Joseph Francis, Ludwig Wissinger and a few others. They named it
Conemaugh-town, but it was generally called Johnstown. Mr. Johns died at an advanced age in Conemaugh
township, Somerset county.

From: Henry Wilson Storey's History of Cambria County, pg 321-322
Ludwig Wissinger, great-grandfather of Cyrus L. Wissinger, and the pioneer ancestor of the Wissinger family
in America, emigrated to this country from Germany some time prior to the American Revolution. He settled
in what is now (1906) known as Griffith Settlement, one and one-half miles southeast of Johnstown. He had
served with distinction throughout the war of independence, and was honored by the government, in
recognition of his valuable services, with a grant of land of three hundred acres. The country at that time was
practically a wilderness, and Mr. Wissinger cleared it of timber, commenced its cultivation and soon had a
productive and comfortable farm. He subsequently sold the entire tract for the very moderate sum of three
hundred dollar, which at that time was considered a very fair valuation of the land. At his death his remains
were interred near what is now Moxham. He married and raised a family, among whom were: 1. John, see
forward. 2. Lewis, who lived to the remarkable age of one hundred and three years, and died in Conemaugh.
3. George W., at one tine constable of Stony Creek township. 4. Daniel, who was a farmer and who married a
Miss Goughnour. 5. Esther, married to Jacob Snyder. 6. Isaac, lived near Scalp Level. 7. Samuel, lived in
Westmoreland county. 8. David, lived near Plumb Creek, Indiana county.

From "The Adam J. Follmar Family & Related Families" :
"The German regiment originated from a resolution of Congress, 27 Jun 1776, directing four companies of
Germans to be raised in Pennsylvania, later increased to five; and four companies in Maryland, to comprise
the "German Battalion", the companies to serve three years, unless sooner discharged. Nicholas Haussegger,
major of the Fourth Battalion (Wayne's), was commissioned Colonel, and Pennsylvania furnished by far the
larger number, both of its officers and recruits. Some of its regular rolls have survived, and the list is made
up from returns of those who belonged to Pennsylvania as found in the Secretary's Office. The regiment was
in the field and engaged in Trenton and Princeton, and in May 1777, was in Deborre's brigade, Sullivan's
division. The Colonel left the army after the Battle of Monmough, and returned to his farm near Lebanon,
PA. Lt. Colonel Weltner succeeded to the command. The regiment took part in Sullivan's campaign against
the Indians. In the spring of 1780, it was stationed on the frontiers of Northumberland County. By resolution
of Congress, in October the German Regiment was reduced and ended its organization, 1 Jan 1781. At the age
of 20, he [Ludwig Wissinger] enlisted in the army, 14 Aug 1776. He was sworn in 14 Nov 1776 and assigned
to Second Vacant Company; under Lt. Colonel Ludwick Weltner. He served for 3 years, stating in his
application for pension, that he served under different commanders, including General Washington; that he
was at the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Trenton, and 'Others not now recollected'; was present at
Valley Forge at the time Baron Frederick Von Stuben trained, disciplined, and reorganized the army that was
almost wiped out by disease and hunger during the hard winter. Ludwig was discharged from the service, 20
Jul 1779, at Wyoming, PA (near Wilkes-Barre). He received no discharge papers. On 19 Mar 1833, he was
granted a pension of about $30 per month. "After the war, Ludwig probably returned to his home near
Middletown, MD; but soon relocated in York County. He is found on tax records there from 1779 to 1783,
working as a mason, but also affiliated with York County Militia. "In September 1786, he purchased a tract of
land located in Morrison Cove, on both sides of Roaring Spring Run in Woodbury Township, Bedford
County, PA. "The tract consisted of 215 acres. He sold the land in 1790; and in 1797, he purchased about
300 acres in the Oakland section of Johnstown, PA, on both sides of the Bedford Pike. The following year he
worked with Joseph Johns to 'lay out' the city of Johnstown. "The cemetery [Wissinger Private Cemetery] has
been designated as a National Monument in Ludwig's honor." The cemetery in located in the Oakland section
of Johnstown on the corner of Griffith and Ruby Streets."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Wissinger Family History" by Howard Wissinger:
"Soon thereafter [after enlistment] he was transferred and became under the command of Col. Haussegger's
Regiment and engaged in numerous conflicts in Pennsylvania. In June 1777 he was in the hospital for twenty
days. December 1777 he was on guard duty. March, April and May 1778 he was stationed at Valley Forge,
PA. Under the command of General George Washington. This is the time that Baron Fredrick Von Stuben
took command of the troops, trained, disciplined and reorganized the army that was almost wiped out by
hunger and disease during that terrible hard winter. June 19, 1778 Washington abandoned camp and made
ready to pursue the British across New Jersey. In June they made camp at Second River, July and August they
16
made camp at White Plains. September and October they made camp at Fish Kill. Ludwig participated in the
battles of Trenton, Brandywine and Germantown. His pay was 6-2/3 dollars per month for his three years
service. "After the war he settled in Pennsylvania where on the 1th of September 1786 he purchased a tract of
land located in Morrison Cove on both sides of Roaring Spring Run in Woodbury Township, Bedford
County. . . This tract consisted of 216 acres. The purchase price was . . . about forty three dollars. The land
was purchased from the state and never had been surveyed before. Thus Ludwig became the first white man
to own this land. He later sold this tract to Jacob Stevens on September 27, 1890 [sic] by patent then by deed.
. . After selling this land he came to the Johnstown area where he purchased about 300 acres in the Oakland
section of Johnstown on both sides of the Bedford pike. This was on January 23, 1797. At that time it was a
wilderness. The purchase price being ten pounds per hundred acres. . . He and his family cleared this land
and farmed it until his death. On November 4, 1857 his heirs sold this tract to Moses Hershberger (now
known as the Abner Griffith farm, near Walnut Grove, Cambria county). . . Ludwig helped Joseph Johns lay
out the city of Johnstown. "

At A Circuit Court, At Bedford (PA), November, 1800 - Coram, Yeates and Smith, Justices
Lessee of Jacob Stevens against Matthew Tracey
Ejectment for 216 acres of land in Morrison's Cove. The plaintiff claimed under a warrant to Ludwig
Wissinger for 200 acres in Morrison's Cove, on both sides of the Roaring Spring Run, adjoining John Ulrey
on the northwest, and Samuel Wallis on the southwest, dated 14th September 1786. On the 9th November
1786, Wissinger conveyed to Stevens, in considerion of 20L., and he two days after procured a survey of 216
acres and allowance, including the lands in controversy.
The dedendant's pretensions were as follows: One Jacob Neff came up into Morrison's Cove 1776, and
improved (as it was called,) within a survey regularly made for Henry Drinker, sometimes called Samuel
Wallis's land. The appropriation of this tract was notorious in the neighborhood, and Neff, before he began to
work, was well acquanited with it. He erected a cabin thereon, about 20 perches from the line, cleared lands
about it, and his clearing beyond the line occupied about one or one and a half acres. He expressed his
intentions of building a mill on the lands in dispute, designing to dig the race higher up, near the cabin, and
procured the water to be levelled. He cut down a few trees, and cleared a small patch for the scite of the mill,
but did no other work relative to the mill, though it was said mill irons were seen in his smith's shop. During
this period he lived with his father, three or four miles distant, and chiefly worked on the land of Wallis. In
1777 the settlement was broken up by the Indians, and Neff went off with the other settlers, and returned with
them after the peace in 1784. He and his wife still continued to live on the place improved by his father,
working occasionally on the lands of Wallis, which he afterwards purchased; but he bestowed no further labor
on the lands in question until the fall of 1786, when he heard of Wissinger's warrant having been issued. He
then removed the logs of the cabin from the land of Wallis, which had been thrown down during the war, and
erected them on the land claimed by the plantiff. Just before the plaintiff's survey, he began to dig a race; eight
or nine perches were dug when the survey was comcpleted: this work might have occuiped two men for two
days. .....more follows...but did not involved Wissinger.....

“Across the Bedford pike from the residence of James Penrod, then belonging to Ludwig Wissinger, stood the
first school within the present limits of Walnut Grove. It was built soon after the earliest settlements in this
community and was never used for free school purposes. It is known to have been there however as late as
1831, when one William Berry taught in it. It was a log structure and had a window in each side, about eight
feet wide and about a foot and a half high, being an aperture made by sawing out pieces of two logs
composing the wall. Greased paper was stretched across these openings instead of glass, and no passing circus
ever tempted a craning of necks to peer through these paper windows. The desks consisted of boards laid on
pins driven into the walls. The benches were slabs supported by huge pins. The floor was made of logs split in
halves with the flat sides turned up. Wood was burned in an open fire place, and as much smoke found its way
through the clap-board roof as through the chimney. Among those who acquired the rudiments of an
education in this primitive school, were the elder Wissingers, the Vickroys, the Slicks – among whom were
Squire B. F. and William the surveyor – John and Abe Stutzman, and Jacob Wertz. Among the pedagogues
who here fashioned the quill and incited a thirst for knowledge, was a son of the Green Isle, John Mineely,
who combined teaching, preaching and weaving into a method for securing a livelihood. As a teacher in early
times his name is given honorable mention in the 1887 Pennsylvania Report of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction. It remained for a Scotch successor, James Roach, to introduce the shillalah as a disciplining
factor; he used to compel obedience to the rules of his school by the vigorous application of his black-haw
cane upon the most convenient part of any boy who had the temerity to be obstreperous.'No babbling then was
suffered in our schools – the scholars' test was silence.' It is said John Stutzman most frequently failed to
measure up to the standard of the test, and was oftenest knocked down, which knocking was however received
without a display of an undue amount of ill humor."
“Two dollars per quarter or three cents a day was paid for tuition, and the flogging was administered
gratuitously and liberally."

Notes for GEORGE WISSINGER, SR.:
The first Census census record for a George Wissinger I am aware of is from the 1800 Census, for District 3
(Middletown), Frederick Cnty, Maryland. George is listed as follows:
1M 26-44 -> George himself, calc birth between 1756-1776
2M 16-25 -> calc birth between 1775-1784
1F > 45 -> spouse born before 1755
1F 10-15 -> calc birth between 1785-1790
Since the George Wissinger who married Mary/Marg. Kauffman in 1800 didn't have any children until 1801
and 1803, the above Census record rules out this George. The George who married Elizabeth Leab did so in
1807, which rules out this George.
So, this census record must be for the oldest George which would be the s/o the immigrant, Johann Ludwig
Wissinger. One George Wissinger died on 19 Oct 1855 in Middletown reportedly at age 87. This would give
a calculated birth year of 1768 which fits the above census data. [Jefferson Co Va/WVa death register 18531904: Weisinger, George white male, d. 18 Oct 1855 at Jefferson Co. of old age at 87y, parents unknown, b.
Md, occupation: __, widower, informant: Ephraim Smith, son in law].
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, in the 1850 Census for the 28th District, Jefferson Cnty, Va one finds:
Weisinger, George - age 79 b VA and Weisinger, Hebe, age 56, b MD
An age of 79 in 1850 gives a calc birth year around 1771. Given how everyone liked to fudge their birth date
or could remember when they were born, 1771 still fits for the George above. Since Elizabeth Watson died in
21
1830, George could have remarried a third time !!! Hebe G. Lowrey married George on Oct 23, 1838. Again,
the dates fit.
Finding an account of some of George's children would certainly be nice....

Notes for ELIZABETH MARGARET WATSON:
The "oldest" George spouse that we know of is Elizabeth Watson, who was born abt 1770-71 and died 30 Apr
1830 at age 59. Since the other George spouses Kaufmann, Leab and Winkley are accounted for one could
theorize that Elizabeth Watson must have married the elder George Wissinger. However, they didn't marry
until Mar 4, 1814 in Frederick Cnty, Virginia which means she is not the person referenced in this 1800
census record. Therefore, it would appear that Elizabeth Watson may have been his second wife begging the
question, who was George's first wife ?? And did they have any issue ?? The answer is probably as there are
still too many unaccounted Wissinger's who were born in the late 1700's to early 1800's such as: Eleanor Ann
Susan, Joseph, Edward, Julia (above), another George W (a carpenter b in Va). And there are 3 children listed
in the 1800 census.
