I am searching for the marriage record of Frederick Weisel/Wysel/Wiseley (parents Michael Weisel and Susanna Keiffer of Bucks Co, PA) and Elisabeth Kebler/Kaler/Kohler/Koler (parents Michael Kebler and Civilla of Northhampton Co, VA). The marriage would have taken place about 1760-1762. Possible locations where the marriage could have occured are: Bucks Co, VA; Northampton Co. VA; Wythe Co, VA; Montgomery Co. VA; and Loudoun Co., VA.
Bucks Co, VA Frederick took the oath in Bucks Co. VA in 1762. Frederick's parents and family resided in Bucks Co. His wife's sister married in Bucks Co. Northhampton Co. VA His wife's parents were known to have lived in Northhamton Co. Wythe Co, VA and Montgomery Co. VA Frederick's children were born in Wythe Co. Loudoun Co. VA Frederick is mentioned as being in Loudon Co. VA 1763-1765
I am the 4g grandaughter of Daniel WISELEY b. 1763 VA probably the s/o Fredrich WISELEY and Elizabeth KEBLER of Montgomery Co., VA. Several years ago I found a passenger list for the 1732 Ship John and William with a Michael WYSEL and a Fredrich WYSOL with Barbara, Abolonia and Susanne. I have always felt that this was the beginning of my WISELEY in the US but have never been able to prove it. There was also a 1728 passenger list with a Jacob WYSEL whom I thought to be a brother of Michael listed above.

Public Library, Marion, VA. I found a ship's log for the Ship WILLIAM out of Rotterdam, 17 Oct 1732. Two of the passengers listed are Michael WYSEL and Fridrich WYSEL. Three women and children are also listed; Susanna WYSEL, Ablonia WYSEL, and Barbara WYSEL. I can't help but wonder if this is the beginning of our lines in the US. We have a record of an inventory for Frederick WISELEY who died in 1782 that mentions a wife, Elizabeth. Daniel, Sr. named his children Elizabeth, Susan, and Barbara. The names would fit which could help determine Frederick to be the father of Daniel. Michael could be the grandfather. Four years earlier, on 24 Aug 1728, the Ship MORTONHOUSE arrived in the US from Rotterdam with a passenger named Jacob WISSEL. This could be the older brother of Michael and Frederick--he came first and then sent for his brothers to come. One of the women named above could be a wife of Jacob.4 In 1732, Fridrich WISEL was in Philadelphia Co., PA, Philadelphia Twp.5 In 1732 Michael WEISSEL was in the same county, same twp.5 Feb 1998 - have received e-mail from TMyers17@aol.com regarding WEISEL line. I contacted him about the possibility that his line could be connected to the WISELEY line in Montgomery Co., VA. It is thru Tom MYERS that I have learned that Fridrich was the s/o Michael who arrived 1732 from Germany. Fridrich b. 1716 Germany was the oldest s/o Michael and listed as adult. In a will on file in Philadelphia, PA for a Michael WISEL signed 3 Oct 1757. It lists wife, Susanna, children; Jacob, Michael, Abolonia, George, Barbara, grandchild, Magdalena Wildanger, son-in-law George WILDANGER, friend George FOENTZ, guardian Michael WEISEL for Magdalena WILDANGER. Witnessed by Johanne WURMAN, John KIFFER, Jacob WYSEL. Proved 17 Jul 17706 Notice that Fridrich/Frederick is not mentioned as a child. Now will have to try and prove that Frederick WISELEY d. 1782 Montgomery Co., VA is the same as Fridrich WYSEL s/o Michael (George Michael WISEL) who were on the immigrant ship in 1732. Nov 98 - now think that the Fredrick and Michael who immigrated in 1732 were probably brothers and not father and son as shown above. This would explain why Fredrick wasn't mentioned in the will of Michael. Have found many baptismal and birth records for WISEL/WISSEL/WEISSEL children in Tohickon Reformed Church in Burks Co., PA.7 Dec 1998 - another researcher has sent documentation stating that Frederick was the s/o George Michael and Susanna who with their 7 children came to the US onboard the Ship JOHN and WILLIAM. I can't yet prove that it is the same Frederick as the one I think to be father of Daniel. "The WEISELS of Warrington, members of a large and influential German family, are decendants of Michael WEISEL, who immigrated from Alsace, then part of France, now belonging to Germany, and settled in this county about 1740. He brought with him 3 sons, Michael, Jacob and Frederick, who were sold for a term of years from on shipboard, to pay the passage of the family, which was customary at that day. In what township the father or sons settled we are not informed."8 Frederick was the oldest son of George Michael and naturalized 3 Apr 1764.9 Jun 1999 - I have been to National Archives looking for the naturalization papers for Frederick. Learned that they are on file in the specific county and state involved. Upon looking in the record book for VA found that Augusta/Montgomery county do not have records going back as far as 1764. Still no definitive proof that Frederick and Elizabeth the parents of Daniel however, I have found a record for a marriage between Susanna WISELEY d/o Frederick and Elizabeth so for now, placing them together as a family. Daniel did have a daughter named Susanna as well as Elizabeth.3 24 Oct 1999 - found a webpage for WEISEL and contacted the owner--she sent data on Frederick as the s/o Geroge Michael and documentation that the wife of Frederick was Elizabeth KALER/KEHLER and that in 1764, they lived in Loudoun Co., VA.10 In 1762, Frederick took an oath of Quaker in Buck's Co., PA11 In 1764, Frederick was the witness to the will of Thomas LONG.12 Frederick WEISELL was listed in the Loudoun Co., VA tithables for 1763-65, 1768, and 1771 in Shelburne Parish which is west of Goose Creek.13 Appraisal of the estate of Frederick WISELEY recorded 2 Apr 1782, done by James FINLY, George McNUTT, John STEPHENS, and Joseph LOVE.14 Notes for Elizabeth KEBLER 10 Apr 1764 in a deed from Civilla KALER of Upper Milford, Northampton Co., VA relict of Michael KALER, late of the same place, deceased who died intestate, to Jacob UPER and wife, Katherine of Upper Milford; Frederick WEISEL of Loudoun Co., VA and his wife, Elizabeth; Dewalt MAECHLIN of Macungie and wife, Civila, also Jacob KEHLER of Upper Milford - these 4 being children and heirs - only son and 3 daughters of Michale KELER, deceased for certain lands on the branch of Perktonen Creek.10 Sources 1.

Notes for Daniel WISELEY Sr.
Daniel was one of the original members of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Wytheville in 1800. In the baptism record of his son, Johan Jacob,
the surname is spelled WEISSLE.3
I have a copy of Daniel's will and the land division at the time of
Elizabeth's death.

In a Revolutionary War Pension application by the widow of James SAGE, Peter
WISELEY stated that his brother, Daniel, served with James SAGE during the
war. This is the first time that we have any proof that Peter and Daniel
were brothers!7

Here is what I know and have documentation for: 1) from records of Tohicken Church in Buck's Co., PA birth and marriage records for some members of the George Michael WEISEL family 2) a will written 3 Oct 1757 on file in Philadelphia City, PA and proved 17 Jul 1770 for Michael WEISEL lists wife, Susanna, children Jacob, Michael, Abolonia, George, Barbara and son-in-law George WILDANGER plus several grandchildren. No mention of a son named Fredrich. 3) Fredrick WISELEY d. 1782 in Montgomery Co., VA leaving no will but inventory is on file in that county. In the inventory, his wife, Elizabeth is mentioned as well as a Jacob WISELEY but no relationship given. 4) In Nov 1782, a Johann WISELEY m. Margaret WHITESEL in Montgomery Co., VA 5) In 1782, a Susanne WISELEY m. Peter KINCER. She was shown as the d/o Frederick WISELEY and Elizabeth KEBLER and was b. 17 Nov 1766 Montgomery Co., VA 6) In the Montgomery Co., VA Militia records of 1777, Daniel WISELEY shown as under 16 yrs of age 7) In a swore statement for a RevWar pension application for another individual, a Peter WISELEY stated that his brother, Daniel, had fought in the Revolution. 8) Upon searching the tax rolls for many VA counties during the 1750-1782 period, Frederick WISELEY is the only person with this surname or one spelled in a similar manner--WEISEL, WYSOL, WYSEL, etc. 9) In Wythe Co., VA (once a part of Montgomery Co,) Michael WEISSEL appears on the German Church records for baptism of at least 3 children--Elizabeth, Margaret, and a Daniel b. 1806. We have a fairly complete lists of decendants for this Daniel. The surname appears in the 1810 Wythe Co. census records as WISELEY 10) Daniel WISELEY b. 1763 from whom I decend had children named Elizabeth, Jacob, John, Joel Fredrick, Peter, Daniel Jr. and others. Daniel Sr. m. Elizabeth DAVIS and stayed in the Wythe Co. area, raised their family there and are buried there. My mothers family all come from Wythe Co. and I have spent many years in the town of Wytheville, the county seat.If you have corrections, additions, or other information you would like to make for this page please contact me at Contact Me
