She said "If you go to the Bennett/ Horsley Tree on Ancestry.com (I also have a Horsley tree) (go to the Teter side then it shows where their ancestors married into the Henkels)> If you look at the link I sent you, you will see what wonderful spiritual people we come from. But wait if you keep going up the tree from there to the Dentzers to the Wagners you will find in 1520 Claus Wagner married Anna Margareta Luther. Anna Margareta is the daughter of THE Martin Luther (not King)" So, according to that my 13th Grandfather is Martin Luther. Very cool.
