Jacob WEGERLIN was listed as living in Philadelphia County in 1763. He
arrived in America on the ship Johnson, September 18, 1732 at the port of
Philadelphia with his parents, Paul(us) and Ottilia Bayer Wegerlin of
Lampertheim, Germany. He was under the age of sixteen at the time. Also on
the ship were his sisters, Anna, Ottilia and Catharine.

The family lived in Lancaster Co. in E. Cocalico Twp. When Jacob's mother
died in 1763 he was living in Philadelphia Co. Two other brothers, John and
Philip were living in Cumberland Co. and brother, Adam, in Lancaster Co. then
Berks Co. The sisters were married and living in Lancaster and York counties.

I noticed a Charles Wegly listed in the 1810 Federal Census in Philadelphia
County North Liberty (Twp.?),

Does anyone have information on this family? I would certainly appreciate
anything you have. Thanks,
