I need help in resolving a problem pertaining to the wives and children of William Nash (b. 1696 - d. 1760, Bedminster Twp, Bucks Co, PA). William appears to have had three wives: Magdalena Gottschalk, Hannah Linderman, and Agnes (Kolb) Overholtzer, widow of Martin Overholtzer. William's will makes clear that his last wife was Agnes, but he does not identify the others. Some secondary sources say Magdalena was the first wife and others say it was Hannah. Does anyone have a strong argument supporting one alternative or the other. I understand that there is evidence that a William Nash m. a Hannah Linderman in Philadelphia in 1731. Can anyone provide a citation for that information? Further clues are given in William Nash's will. He identifies three children of his unnamed first wife: Elise (Alice) m. to William Tyson, Ann m. Joseph Tyson and Katharine m. Benjamin Hendricks. He identifies two children of his unnamed second wife: William m. Rachel Hendricks and Madaline m. Jacob Fretz. He identifies three children of Agnes: Elizabeth m. Martin Overholt, Joseph m. Elizabeth Wismer, and Abraham m. Mary Hockman. Some researchers have added a fourth child of Agnes, Benjamin who apparently died young. The spouses of the children of Agnes were not identified by William but were supplied by Nash researchers. Thanks in advance for any information that will put this issue to rest. Carl Wisler cwisler@erols.com Mitchellville, MD
