Histories		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.

HENRY DAVIDHEISER

by Ronny O. Bodine

28 September 2013

HENRY DAVIDHEISER was born 1759-1761, being aged 60 on 2 Dec 1820, 69 on Dec 1828 and 79 in Dec 1838; died 19 Aug 1838 in Greenwich Township, Berks County.

Henry Davidheiser served as a Private in the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler during the Revolutionary War. He submitted two declarations, one on 2 Dec 1820 when aged 60 and another on 8 Dec 1828 when aged 69 as a resident of Alsace Township in Berks County. He stated he enlisted in May 1778 in Berks County in a company commanded by Captain Robert Connely in the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler and that at the expiration of his service he was honorably discharged at Carlisle. His application was approved. He died 19 Aug 1838 leaving a will.

His death was reported in The Reading Adler of 28 Aug 1838: Heinrich Davidsheiser, a soldier of the RW, died on 19 Aug 1838, aged 79, in Greenwich Twp., Berks County.

The will of Henry Devitshiser of Greenwich Township, Berks County, was written 11 Dec 1837 and proved 10 Sept 1838. Therein was named only his widow, Elizabeth, who was also appointed the executor. (Berks County Wills, vol. 8, p. 72)

On 10 April 1844, his widow, Elizabeth Davidheiser, aged 73, applied for a widow?s pension. To prove her case evidence was provided showing she had married Henry Davidheiser on 28 April 1789 in Reading, Berks County and that her name before marriage was ELIZABETH MAURER. On 9 Oct 1850, now residing with her son Solomon in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Elizabeth Davidheiser, now blind, appeared before the Lehigh County Court in the company of her son Solomon to clear up a matter regarding her widow?s pension.

In 1850, Elizabeth Davidheiser lived with her son Solomon and his family in South Whitehall Township. The family was recorded under the name HISER and consisted of Solomon 40, his wife Lydia 41, 4 children and his mother Elizabeth, 79.

The German will of Elizabeth Davidheiser of Greenwich Township, Berks County was written 15 May 1846 and named her sons Heinrich, John, Jacob, Solomon, and Samuel and daughters Anna, wife of Jacob Wisser and Elizabeth. Peter Klein was appointed executor. On 17 Sept 1851 an inventory was submitted that included a bond from Jacob Wisser dated 12 April 1845 for $275. On 13 April 1852, Solomon Davidheiser submitted an accounting of the estate and noted the bond from Jacob Wisser had not yet been collected.
