I am also researching the Wetzel family. I have only gotten to the 1860, they probably came to Murray Co., GA from Gilmer/Fannin Co. GA. Before that they were in Buncombe/Henderson/Transylvania Co., NC. I will share what ever I find connects with your, if you can send me the census records of your Wetzels there in Murray Co., GA. I just got back from the Library yesterday and it will take me a few days to organize my Wetzel. There were a Jacob & Margaret 'Summey' Wetzel that moved into Buncombe Co., NC in 1802. They had a large family, but only three sons so far as I know. The sons were Henry, John, & Jacob Wetzel. I hear that Jacob Wetzel died before 1850 in Murray Co., GA. Henry Wetzel died before his father Jacob Wetzel Sr died, that was in the early 1820s. His wife married again to a John Thomas. They remained in Gilmer/Fannin Co., GA. I am not too sure about John Wetzel right now. Hope this helps. Keep in touch with me please, Wylene
