General Notes: Husband - (Stoffel) Christopher Wagenseil


A German, he resided in Hanover township, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, prior to 1734, as it is of record that he paid "quit rent" on 150 acres of land there.

It appears from his will that he owned 101 acres along the Perkiomen creek in Upper Hanover township, Philadelphia County (Hanover township was divided in 1841), Pennsylvania; that he sold one-half of it to his son-in-law, David Haag; and that he bequeathed the other half to his only son, John. The Perkiomen creek divided the land equally with David Haag's land on one side and John's legacy on the other. John Derr at one time owned the land upon which the town of Pennsburg later stood.

He came to Pennsylvania as early as 1727, and possibly before 1717, and settled in what is now Hanover township, Montgomery County, in the valley of the Perkiomen creek. [BAFC, 496]
