I saw this from Virginia Nuta: Hi Mary-- I always think of the Willheits as being Second Colony glue--so many of us have Willheit genes mixed in with our other families. (sip) Virginia Nuta ======================================================= In our recent discussions of WILHITE/WILHOIT/however it was spelled over time, much has been made about how that family was/is related to so many other Germanna families. What I wonder is, "Why is the BROYLES family never mentioned in the same light? Adam WILHITE married Catherine BROYLES, daughter of the emigrant Johannes BREYEL (John BROYLES); Conrad Reuben WILHOITE married Mary Elizabeth BROYLES, granddaughter of John BROYLES. Descendants of Adam and Conrad Reuben include the following families: CARPENTER, CRISLER, UTZ, SNYDER, CLORE, BLANKENBAKER, AYLOR, ROUSE, TANNER, WEAVER, WAYLAND, YOWELL, FISHBACK, MILLER, RACER, CREIGLER, SOUTHER, YAGER, GAAR/GARR, PAINTER, HOLT, FINKS, and others. But no mention is never made about the BROYLES contribution to relationships of all the rest of the Germanna families. If you have a WILHITE/WILHOIT/etc. ancestor, chances are pretty dang good that you also have a BROYLES ancestor. I guess what I'm getting at is that WILHITE/WILHOIT gets top billing but we so very rarely see the BROYLES family referred to as "Second Colony glue". Why?

I'm curious as to the RACER/WILHITE/WILHOTT connection mentioned below. I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me?? Thanks for your help, "Rock" Racer ----- Original Message ----- From: "George W.

Hello Rock, Here are a few connections: Virinda Margaret WEAVER married Jonas RACER/RASOR; Margaret's grandmother was Mary "Polly" WILHITE. Mary's g-grandfather was Johann Michael WILLHEIT, Jr., a 2nd Colony emigrant. Ann WEAVER married Paschal RACER/RASOR; Ann was sister of Margaret above, so had the same WILHITE/WILLHEIT ancestry as Ann. Jonas and Paschal were brothers and if you descend from them, you also have a WILHITE/WILHOIT/WILLHEIT ancestor. I have many, many RACER/RASOR individuals married to other 1st and 2nd Colony emigrants, but it will take some time to dig out the data.

HI Sarge, thanks for helping me understand the RACER/WILHITE/WILHOIT connection. I do have Paschal and Jonas and wives in my tree at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rockracer1&id=I0603 but didn't go as far as wives' grandparents. Paschal and Jonas were children of Jacob RAZOR/RACER; Paschal by his first wife, Susannah SNYDER and Jonas by Jacob's second wife, Elizabeth DELPH, both of whom were descendants of Germanna settlers. I descend from George RACER, Jr. who was a brother to Jacob and the youngest child of George Adam and Margaretha RAUSER (?). Thanks again, ~Rock~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "George W.
