I have been researching my WILHELMS for a while, after they went to VA. Now that I am starting to back up to PA, it looks like they were in Adams Co. (Wasn't everyone at one point in time--haha) Anyway, I am trying to confirm which of the WILHELM brothers my Elizabeth belonged to--Adam or Michael? I checked the wills in VA but they only mentioned males. Elizabeth was b c1800 (possibly in Germantown before coming to Adams). Adam & Michael married the Dietrich sisters (from Adams Co.) and apparently lived there before going south to the Valley. Does anyone have any info on these families? I am willing to share what I have. Thanks, Doris Snyder [email protected]
Elisabeth Dietrich, born ca.1759/63, married Adam Wilhelm. She was the daughter of Wilhelm Dietrich and his wife Magdalena. Magdalena Dietrich, born ca.1765/67, sister of Elisabeth, married Michael Wilhelm. They were probably born in Lancaster Co., PA; lived in Mt. Joy Township, Adams County (then York County), PA. Wilhelm Dietrich moved to Adams Co. ca.1764; died 1770. Hope this helps.
