    3. I am researching my wife's Engle and Beyerle ancestors and seeking documentation for the following:. Melchior Engle and his wife, Mary Magdelena (Beyerle), left Lancaster CO, PA, in the late 1750's and settled in Shepherdstown, Berkeley CO, (West) VA. Traveling with them were Melchior's father-in-law, Johann/Hans/John Michael Beyerle and Michael's (2nd) wife, K(C)atherine Beyerle. It is believed that K(C)atherine died about 1757 in Frederick CO, (West) VA, and that Michael Beyerle married (3rd) Eve Cheek. Michael Beyerle is believed to have died in Shepherdstown about 1788. Melchior Engle in question is believed to be the same Melchior Engle who died in Winchester, Frederick CO, (West) VA in 1760. I have Engle WSH, The Melchor Engle Family History and Genealogy: 1730-1940, privately published by W. S. H. Engle, Lima, OH, 1940; but understand there is another genealogy I do not have access to published in 1906, "A History of the Engle Family of the Shenandoah Valley and Family Connections", privately published, 1906. James M. Engle (b. 1854).
