Does anyone know which WEIDNER line  David WEIDNER 1818-1875 is in?  Nothing in the BIOs in History of Berks mention him and a wife Sarah b 3/28/1818.  She died 1/1/1897, buried at Aulenbach on 1/5/1897. They had these children, per Census 1850 - (in Reading East Ward). : David Weidner 33 PA Sarah Weidner 33 PA Emma WEIDNER age 11   Daniel WEIDNER age 10 Benjamin age 8 William age 6 Catharine age 3 Son William was in CW, and injured.  He married Sallie A BROWN of Robeson Twp, and when married, 12/23/1869  at Central United Methodist church,  he stated he was born in Colebrookdale.  He died 4/3/1897 and is buried at Charles Evans cemetery where his name is shown as William M WEIDNER. Sallie Ann BROWN, a dau of Peter BROWN and Matilda HUFMAN, born 9/15/1848, died 3/7/1905 and is also buried at Chas Evans. In a newspaper OBIT for William, his family who survived, beside his wife and a son Peter B.,  was a sister, Mrs. William LUTZ of Missouri, a brother Benjamin, of Reading.  Since David WEIDNER named his first born son Daniel, could he be a son of a Daniel WEIDNER?  There are several in late 1700s in the area.  Would love to know how this David 1818-1875 connects. Anyone have ties to this WEIDNER? Diana in AL  audianaq@msn.com

Diana, The obituary of Sarah (Millard) Weidner, widow of David Weidner is in the Jan. 1, 1897, Reading Eagle, page 3 column 5 under Deaths and Funerals. She died at the residence of a granddaughter, Mrs. William H. Gross; 1730 1/2 Cotton Street at the age of 78 years 8 months and 11 days. She was born in Oley, but lived in Reading for 50 years. Her husband proceeded her in death by 21 years. Three children survive: Benjamin and William of Reading and Mrs. Kate Lutz of Springfield, Miss. (I take that to mean Mississippi not Missouri). She was also survived by a brother Harry and a sister, Mrs. Harriet Albright. She was a member of Zion's U. B. Church. Look for the Millards in Oley, maybe you'll find the right Weidners near by.
