Narrative
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Weitzel-551:
Werner Weitzel was probably born about 1711 in the Palatinate (now Germany).
On 16 Sep 1738, Johann Werner Weitzel (27) was among the male passengers over 16 years listed on the ship, Queen Elizabeth, when it arrived in Philadelphia, PA, having departed from Rotterdam with a stop in England. Also listed on the ship manifest are Henrich (30) and Martin (28) Weitzel, whose relationship is unknown.[1]
On 12 Apr 1762, Werner and Frederick Weitzel, both of Berks County, PA, were naturalized.[2]
Werner was married, but her name is not known. He and his wife are listed as baptismal sponsors in several records of St John's Reformed Church (Hain’s), in Heidelberg Twp, Berks, PA.
Frederick Weitzel is their presumed son. Both men were residing in Cumru Twp and both were naturalized on the same day. Frederick also named a son Werner.
