General Notes: Husband - Ephraim Beistel

near Lycippus, Westmoreland Co, PA
Mt. Pleasant Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA - a farmer

The first of the name to come to the region was John Beistel, who settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and became the possessor of a farm in Cook township, which he worked with much success, although by trade he was a tailor. He continued to make his home in Cook township until the time of his death. [WON, 538] The source states this refering to his son John, but there appears to be confusion in the sources.
