  	1809 Weiser-Wisser probate info George Wieser (Weiser/Wisser) died in 1809 and named his son John Wisser as executor. John Wisser died in 1810 before probate had completed. It appears that John left his wife Elizabeth and oldest son John as executors. That combination of estates took several years to settle.

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".

  		1914_wisser_families_of_lehigh _pg1417from_berks.jpg 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.

  [S-1715869412] Weiser Families in America - Chapter 18, Frederick S. Weiser, (Penobscot Press), 1731 (Reliability: 2), 28 Jun 2014. This is a very well researched publication, but the author has stated there is some conflicting information regarding John. The county history lists his name as Daniel. I believe the Weiser Family publication is the better researched of the two. I, along with others, will continue to look for evidence. (Gary Wisser 6/28/2014)
