By 1914 when this book was published, this information was about 100 years old. I'm discovering that it seems to contain some errors in early US Wisser history (gaw 3/1/2014)
I'm discovering that John Wisser was the father of John,Jonathan, Daniel (born 1803), Elizabeth, married to George Zettelmore (not Reinhard), Rebecca who married Jonathan Reinhard, Jacob, and a daughter named Saloma who married Jacob Altenderfer.

List of People Names & Ages on Board the Ship Edinburgh, Capt John Lion from Rotterdam. Arrived at Philadelphia, October 2nd 1753.

John Joachim Wiesser age 23 (born c1830?)
- (This should be the son Jacob - he is listed as J. Jacob Wiesser on Page 580 - qualifications)

John Wilhelm Wiesser age 43 (born c1810?)
- (This should be the father, the age fits as the father of John and Jacob)

John Gerlach Wiesser age 24 (born c1829?)
- (This should be the son John)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Now that I have found associated ages (and birth years) they don't seem to fit for ages of George, who died about 1909, and John who died about 1810.

NOTE: This publication lists different spellings on page 577 than it does om page 578 and 581. This 1934 publication also lists different spellings than the 1875 "A Collection of Upwards of Thirty Thousand Names".
