Hi, Ella: I have that Hans George, Jorg Heinrich, & Johan Balthaser Spengler (3 brothers) and their wives immigrated on the ship Pleasant arriving at Philadelphia on Oct. 11, 1732. My line is through Hans George. Sorry, I don't know where Weyler, Steinsberg, Hilsbach & Krombach, Krechgau are in Germany. Good luck with your search! Please let me know if you believe there is a connection.
