• Notes

  I have this information on him from the book "History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania" . If I remember correctly it was published about 1914. Jonathan Wieser, (was) a native of Berks county, where he carried on the trade of weaver (mostly bed-spreads) near Hamburg, for a number of years; then located in Lehigh county, where he conducted farming operations in different localities. He died at Allentown, aged 86 years. In early life he was a staunch Democrat, but in later years became a Republican. He was married to Hannah Henninger, of Whitehall township, near Wennersville, and they had twelve children, six of whom died in infancy: Jonathan; Adeline, m. William Ritter; Mary, m. Edward Eisenhard; Henry W.; Gideon; and Thos. L.
