General Notes: Husband - Rev. Jacob H. Wiestling


He was educated at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, studied theology there, and was licensed by the Reformed Synod to preach the gospel in 1812, and about the same time received and accepted a call to Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania, which included three congregations in his charge. Owing to some difficulty with reference to the Manchester congregation, he stood disconnected from the Synod for some years. In 1821 application to that body was made in his behalf, and in the following year he was received. Several other congregations were added to his charge, and his field of labor consisted of five congregations, in which he continued to preach to the end of his life.
