General Notes: Husband - Andrew Wissler


He removed [from near Philadelphia?] to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he entered the employ of Jacob Groff, an extensive farmer, in what later became Clay township, and married the only daughter of his employer, through whom he became the owner of the old Groff homestead, which was taken up in 1724 by John Jacob Groff, his wife's grandfather. The old homestead, was later divided into four farms by Jacob Wissler (son of Andrew).
