Sally, Found this on Rev. Weyberg: http://www.dreisbachfamily.org/sketches.html Rev. Casper Diedrich Weyberg Casper Diedrich Weyberg was born at Westofen, in the county of Mark, in Westphalia, Germany. He attended the Latin school at Freemonia-Dortmand and the university at Duisburg. He was examined and commissioned to go to Pennsylvania, Sept. 8-9, 1761. After some delay he sailed and reached Easton, March 3, 1763. He is described as "a tall, slim man, with a powerful voice." On Oct. 8, 1863, he accepted a call to Philadelphia. Weyberg is said to have served as chaplain in the Revolution, and while the British were occupying Philadelphia, the Hessian soldiers thronged to hear him preach. He seized the opportunity and boldly asserted in the American Cause, that many of them deserted. Weyberg was arrested by the English authorities and imprisoned. The Rev. Berg in his "Christian Landmarks" pages 16-17 writes: "I have been assured by aged members of the church, that it used to be confidently affirmed that the Hessians would, in all probability, to a man have left the British service, if the old Father had not been silenced." He died, Aug. 21 1790, and was buried in the Reformed cemetery, now Franklin Square, Philadelphia. Other links that mention the Rev.
