Subject: [WEISER-L] WEISER, RIEM. BEYER, WAREHEIM
This is my first post to the WEISER list.  I am searching for any leads on the parents of three ancestors who are spouses of descendants of Conrad WEISER (2 Nov 1696 - 13 Jul 1760) and Anna Eva FECK/FEG (ca. 1705 - 11 Jun 1781). I am listing them in chronological order.

First is SOPHIA RIEM/REIM/RIEHM (? - 1 Oct 1764) who married 22 Nov 1748 at Reith's Church, Berk's Co., PA to Philip WEISER (7 Sep 1722 - 27 Mar 1761), eldest son of Conrad WEISER and Anna Eva FECK.  Sophia died in Berks Co. and is buried at Reith's Church, Berks Co.  She and Philip had at least four children: John Conrad* (1749-1803), Peter, Jabetz and Hanna Philippina.  I have been unable to determine Sophia's parents except that her father's name might be Peter.

Second is BARBARA BEYER (ca. 1750 - 15 Dec 1825) who married 25 Jul 1770 in Reading Town, Berks Co., PA to John Conrad WEISER (30 Aug 1749 - 1 Feb 1803), eldest son of the above Philip WEISER  and Sophia RIEM.  Barbara died in Weiserburg, Northumberland (now Snyder) Co., PA, as did her husband. They are buried at Sharon Union Church, Weiserburg.  They had twelve children: Sophia, Benjamin, John Frederick, an unnamed son, Peter, Hanna Philippina, Maria Barbara*(1784-1827), John Conrad, Catherine, Heinrich, John and Daniel.  I have no information on Barbara BEYER's parents.

Third (and most important to me) is PETER WAREHEIM/WAREHAM/WERHEIM etc., born between 1790-1800 in PA and died between 1 May and 1 Jun 1839 in Selinsgrove, Union (now Snyder) Co., PA.  About 1828-29, Peter married Mary HOLSTEIN, the daughter of the above Maria Barbara WEISER (21 Jul 1784 - 1827) and George HOLSTEIN (2 Feb 1766 - 26 Mar 1811).  Union County Court papers for the December 1839 Term show Peter WAREHEIM, Penns Twp., Union Co. (now Snyder Co.) deceased, wife Mary Holstein, children Jane, Rachel, Henry and Mary Catherine all under age 14.  I have accumulated quite a bit of information on possible connections to Peter but nothing concrete.  I do not know who his parents were.  If anyone is researching these families and has any leads or suggestions regarding these three lost ancestors, I would appreciate hearing from you.
