Introduction
Welcome to the DLW Database. The DLW
genealogy database contains over 520,000 names (last updated July., 2019) of
individuals, mostly descended from 18th century Mennonites, River Brethren
(Brethren in Christ) and German Baptist Brethren who settled in Lancaster,
Lebanon and Franklin Counties, Pennsylvania, in Ontario, Canada and in
Washington Co. Maryland and Botetourt Co. Virginia. In the 1800s many families
moved to Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas. In the early 1900s there was
continued migration westward.
The database was originally developed in conjunction with the compilation of
the descendants and related families of Hans and Hannah Wenger. Three of their
sons and Hannah immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1748 and 1749. Their descendants
spread across the country and the world and now number over 130,000. After
publication of the “Descendants of Hans and Hannah Wenger”, Daniel L. Wenger
2000, work continued, focusing on the descendants of Christian Wenger,
immigrant of 1727. The database now contains over 190,000 descendants of
Christian Wenger and over 133,000 descendants of Hans and Hannah Wenger. Many
other families are also included in the database, including other Wenger lines.
There are over 196,000 names of individuals who are not descended from the Hans
and Hannah Wenger family or the Christian Wenger family. These names were
collected in order to assist in identifying possible other ancestors of Wenger
descendants and possible other Wenger descendants.

This database was compiled using many
different sources and the contributions of many people. The project would not
have been undertaken if it had not been for the efforts of researchers of the C
line of Wengers and the G line of Wengers. Two G line Wenger researchers who
spent so many years collecting the information that formed the initial basis
for this document are Norman Wenger Nauman, G1132261 and Roger Daniel Winger,
G1832655. They are to be remembered as the initial genealogists of the Hans and
Hannah Wenger family. Two C line Wenger books provided the bulk of the information
that formed the basis of the C. “History of the Descendants of Christian Wenger”,
Jonas G. Wenger, Martin D. Wenger, Joseph H. Wenger, 1903 and “The Wenger Book”,
Samuel S. Wenger, Earle K. Wenger, Helen I. Wenger, 1978. The former book may
be found at http://books.google.com.
Special acknowledgement needs to be given
to others.
Susan Mae Wenger, 1951.6.3, G111213121,
secretary of the Wenger Family Association, worked with Norman Wenger Nauman to
bring his records together into a coherent form. Susan supplied to DLW (the
compiler) her volumes of notes for inclusion in this document. Most of the
information labeled NWN was consolidated by Susan and entered into her
notebooks. Susan also made significant contributions to the format of the book.
Her suggestions have resulted in a vastly improved presentation.
Mary Ann McClarnon Fokken, G181255543, a
very active Wenger researcher, has worked closely with DLW in tracking down
numerous families. This work has involved many, many census and library
searches. Mary Ann's assistance has been extremely important.
Richard Lee Winger, G14546221 did extensive
research on the descendants of Abraham Wingert, G145. In the process he
organized much of the information on the other descendants, particularly in
Franklin County, PA and made that research available to DLW. Richard also made
his genealogy library available to DLW.
Deloris June Hammermeister Burdick, G18125F94 contributed her large history of
the descendants of Jacob Wingard, 1819.3.18 1900.8.24, G18125 and Susannah
Zook, 1825.11.17 1883.12.31
Orpha Joan Heitman Oppertshauser, G322D338
contributed her extensive research on current Sider, Climenhaga and Canadian
Winger families.
Special acknowledgement deserves to be given
to three others for supplying many corrections, updates and cemetery locations.

Information from Robert is labeled RW-GED. Most of these references refer to TWB.
I would like to mention also the very
important web sites http://www.omii.org/
where many valuable genealogical databases are published, the extremely large
collection of genealogical databases at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi
and the collection of Mennonite Obituaries at http://www.mcusa-archives.org/MennObits/
These resources have been extremely important in collecting the information in
this database. The Morman database at http://www.familysearch.org
is of important value. Now there is an important new resources for genealogy,

Explanation of Notations
The goal of this project has been to identify the many
descendants of two Wenger immigrants: of Hans and Hannah Wenger whose three
sons immigrated to America in 1748 and 1749. Hans, the father, is identified as
Hans Wenger, G. His children are given the numbers G1, G2, G3, etc. and of
Christian Wenger immigrant of 1727. Christian is identified as Christian
Wenger, C.
Recent and reasonable estimates of the birth dates of the children of Hans
Wenger, G1 has led to the adoption of new G numbers for some of these
offspring. Stephen, G11, Christian, G12, Judith, G13 and John, G14 have their
original G numbers. Maria had the number G18 and now has the number G15. Henry
had the number G15 and now has the number G16. Abraham had the number G16 and
now has the number G17. Martin had the number G17 and now has the number G18.
These new numbers are reflected on the monument that was placed in the
Jonestown, PA Wenger Cemetery in August, 1994 to honor Hans Wenger, G1 and his
children. This change of number of Hans Wenger, G1's children is referred to as
new ordering.
The G numbers of the children of John Wenger, G14 have been redetermined on the
basis of known information and some reasonable guesses. They differ from those
used in "The Wenger Book". Christian Wenger, G144 is now G141, John
Wenger, G145 is now G142, Martin Wenger, G146 is now G143, Jacob Wenger, G148
is now G140 and Abraham Wenger, G140 is now G145.
An individual is identified by name, birth date, death date, a possible
descendant code, such as G or C, and possible additional information. For
example:
Martin
Wenger, 1742.2.2 1815.8.28, G18, (i1748)
describes Martin Wenger who was born on February 2, 1742 and died on August 28,
1815. Martin immigrated to America in 1748. His G code is G18. The G code is
the standard York code where G represents Hans Wenger, the father of the three
Wenger brothers who immigrated in 1748 and 1749. The offspring of Hans Wenger,
G are assigned the codes G1, G2, G3 and G4 for the first, second, third and
fourth born children. Martin Wenger, immigrant of 1748 is the eighth child of
the first-born child of Hans Wenger, G. Thus his code is G18.
For more than nine children, the tenth is assigned the code 0, the eleventh the
code A, the twelfth the code B, etc.
If a descendant with a G code marries another descendant with a G code then
there is the question as to which G code to use for their offspring. Their
children would have two G codes, but to simplify the notation only one G code
is kept. The rule followed here is that if the two parents, both descendants of
Hans Wenger, G are of the same generation, then the G code of the father is
used for the offspring. If the mother is an earlier generation than the father,
then the mother's G code is used for the offspring.
If an individual is a descendant of Christian Wenger, C, the immigrant of 1727
and the subject of "The Wenger Book", then that fact is indicated by the notation
C.
If an individual is a descendant of Hans Lehman, 1700~ 1771, H, (i1737.10.8) ^,
then that fact is indicated by the notation LH (the L is used to differentiate
between a Hans Wengert, 1720~, H, (i1751) ^ descendant. See below for a full
list of family notations used.
If there is ( ) within the name then there are several possible meanings. The
enclosed name may be an earlier version of the name or an alternate version of
the name. The enclosed name may be a prior married name of the person. Some
sources do not indicate if the maiden name or the married name is within the (
) so in some cases there is ambiguity. If the maiden name is known then it is
outside of the ( ) and the married name is within the ( ). If there are two
prior marriages then both married names are include within the ( ) separated by
a /. At times if the name has been given in two forms, both forms are offered
with a / between them.
A date with ambiguity is indicated by a ? mark. A birth or death date of 1760~
would indicate that the date is approximate and could be off by a year or two
or even ten or twenty years if the estimate was based upon several generations
without more information. Some books use the notation circa or an abbreviation
of that word. Others use abt.
If the date is given as 1872+ then the birth or death occurred after 1872. If
the date is given as 1872- then the birth or death occurred prior to 1872. A
date such as 1893.4.6~ would indicate that the date is April 6, but the year is
in question. A date such as 1905.6 would indicate June, 1905 without a day
specified. The date 1930..6 would indicate a date of the sixth day of some
month in the year 1930. If the date is followed by a 'b' then that indicates
that the date is of baptism. If the date is followed by a 'p' then that
indicates a probate date.
The notation 0 in the additional portion indicates that the individual had no
descendants. The notation * indicates that descendants for that individual are
not known. The notation ^ indicates that there is no information on the parents
of the individual. The character 'a' in the additional section indicates that
the individual was a foster child or adopted or descended from an adopted
individual.
When the first name of a husband or father is not known, the notation father is
used. This does not imply that there were children.
Summary of Main Notations
~ means approximate (equivalent to the notation cir)
^ means no parent information
* means no descendant information
0 means no descendants

comment to the effect that three Sollenberger brothers married three Wenger sisters
helped to understand several relationships that had not been understood before.
An excellent example of how a small note can help to unravel a family history.

access to those records and spent five days with a copy machine in the garage
of Jay Wenger. Those records are now with the Lancaster Mennonite Historical
Society. The five day effort resulted in 30 lbs of copies that were then
studied over the following years. It was the publication of the "Wenger Clan Notes"

records and independent research. The regarding the descendants of Abraham
Wenger, G145 is based upon the personal researches of Richard Lee Winger, work
carried out over the years since 1984. In the process of researching the
descendants of Abraham, Richard Winger made a complete study of Hans'
descendants in Franklin County, Pa. which included many of John Wenger's, G14
and Martin Wenger's, G18 descendants. These researches led to the
identification of Abraham Wenger, G145 as a son of John Wenger, G14, an
identification postulated first by Samuel S. Wenger in a conversation with
Richard Winger. It should be mentioned that the above ordering of the children
of Hans Wenger is the new ordering. Richard has served as the Historian for the
Wenger Family Association for several years and we are all indebted to him for
his careful and complete research. ban@igc.org

TWB "The Wenger Book", edited by Samuel S. Wenger, 1978. Published
by the Pennsylvania German Heritage History, Inc., Lancaster, Pa. This is a
major book on the descendants of Christian Wenger, C and Eve Graybill and of
families married into those descendants. The on related families provides the
basis for research on many of the large well known families of early Lancaster
Co. Pa. The book provides some on the descendants of Hans Wenger, G, although
there are significant errors in the on Hans' descendants. The claim that
Abraham Wenger, G17 (new ordering) married an Indian squaw by the name of Anna
Eroe is incorrect. He married Anna Groh. John Wingert, G121 in "The Wenger
Book", is actually K1401, a descendant of another Wenger immigrant. Christian
Wenger, G125 in TWB is actually K1404. Susanna Wenger, G142 of TWB is actually
E19, a descendant of Hans Wenger, immigrant of 1737. Most importantly, Abraham
Wenger, G140 of TWB is actually G1415 The descendants G1711 through G1719 of
TWB are actually G181 through G189 (new ordering). Joseph Wenger, G173 of TWB
is actually G183 (new ordering). His descendants should be renumbered to
reflect this change. Abraham Wenger, G1777 of TWB is actually G188 (new
ordering). His descendants should be renumbered to reflect this change. Martin
Winger, G1721 of TWB is actually G1831 (new ordering). His descendants should
be renumbered to reflect this change. The entry on page 1033 for AA1 has been
identified as Joseph (Wingert) Wenger, 1808 1880.10.10, G1819

giving much of the family of Abraham Wenger, 1740 1808, G17, (i1748.9.16) and
in particular of Martin Wenger, 1812.1.3 1881.5.15, G1771. It is believed that
the chart was prepared by Stanley Alleman Wengert, 1897.9.8 1995.5.8, G1771341
about 1935
There are many other sources of family that were helpful to this research and
that have not been identified, mainly due to lack of knowledge of their names.
I offer my apologies to the authors and wish to express the gratitude of the
descendants for their efforts that have provided us with the information that
might otherwise be lost forever.

Siloam Cem., Wenger Cem., Brinzer Cem., Branger Cem., Zook
Cem., Lehman Family Graveyard Cem. Franklin Co. Pa. This cemetery is located
on part of the original Martin Wenger, G18 farm on Conochocheague Creek, about
two miles north of the Memorial Square of Chambersburg, Pa. It may be reached

travel north on Route 11 about 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Siloam Road. Go .3
(three tenths) mile and turn right onto Airport Road. Go about .1 to .2 miles
and the cemetery is on the right between the houses located at 2894 and 2924
Airport Road. The house currently at 2924 Airport Road is on the land once
owned by the church. Martin Wenger and his wives Ann Gingerich and Catherine
Funk are buried here as well as Bishop Daniel Lehman. Abraham R. Wenger, son of
Martin Wenger, inherited his father's farm and donated an area adjoining the
cemetery to the Brinzer branch of the River Brethren Church for a meeting
house. After that time the cemetery became known as the Brinzer Cemetery. When
the congregation became small the Wenger Cemetery Association was given the
right to dispose of the meeting house by the Franklin County Court. At one time
the property was owned by the Joseph Zook, 1787.3.3 1852.7.16 family and it was
then called the Zook Cemetery. The money received for the building was added to
the endowment fund for the care of the cemetery. The oldest marker is 1793. The
original home and barn of Martin Wenger, G18 are visible about 1/4 mile
northeast from the cemetery when the leaves are off the trees. 145 graves.
Families found in the cemetery are Wenger, Zook, Lehman, Detwiler, Hoffman,
Horst, Lesher and Whisler along with others. The name Siloam is due to the
small hamlet of Siloam which is nearby. A detailed history of the cemetery is
given in "Conococheague
Mennonist", published by Mennonite Historical Association of the
Cumberland Valley, April 1997. The Association acquired the cemetery in 1996
and it is now cared for by a committee of three trustees, Titus Wadel,
G1471732131 a Mennonite, Avery Zook, G13659522 a Brethren in Christ and Oliver
Heisey, an Old Order River Brethren. Titus and Avery are both Hans Wenger
descendants and Oliver married a Hans Wenger descendant

that the Mason-Dixon line cuts through a corner of the barn and the house was
on the Maryland side., nearly all the barn in Pennsylvania. At that time no
marriage license was required in Pa., but was in MD. So the young couple
avoided a long trip to Hagerstown for a license, and therefore the fee.. (DLW

Wenger Cemetery, Franklin Co. Pa. See Siloan Cemetery
Wenger Cemetery, Jonestown, Lebanon Co. Pa. The Wenger
Cemetery is associated with the Wenger Meeting House (United Zion Church). The
meeting house was built in 1871 and dedicated by Mathias Brinser who founded
the United Zion Church. He was excommunicated from the River Brethren due to
his having constructed a place for worship. The cemetery is just north and east
of Jonestown on the original homestead of Hans Wenger, G1. The earliest stone
is for Christian Wenger, 1756.12.23 1841.7.28, G141, Rev. His grandfather is
believed to be buried in the grave yard as well as other earlier members of the
family, but no stones exist.There is another larger and newer cemetery
adjoining this cemetery which is Lutheran. John Adam Brandt, 1878.2.13 1963,
G1366312, Rev. gives the following details (prepared about 1960): Jacob Wenger
(Jacob W. Wenger, 1807.5.17 1881.4.10, G1405) gave a deed of trust to his
brother Levi Wenger in 1859 for the then 75x80 foot grave yard. In 1871 the
meeting house was built on the south side of the grave yard. Then in 1872 Levi
Wenger deeded the grave yard back to Jacob Wenger. Later in the year of 1872
Jacob Wenger gave a deed of the land where the church was built, the yard in
front of the church including the driveway leading to the then public road and
the grave yard to the United Zions Church for five dollars. Christian Wenger,
David Wenger and Henry Haldeman were the first trustees of the church (believed
to be Christian Wenger, 1805.10.28 1876.12.4, G1404, Rev., David W. Wenger,
1829.6.27 1891.3.12, G14185, Rev.). The deed called for the grave yard to be
used for the Wengers, Heiseys, Haldemans, Books, Lights & Longs and their
relatives, or any body who wishes to bury there, but all that would bury there
would have to share in paying for the upkeep of the fence around the grave
yard. In 1889 land was bought from John L. Wenger, Jacob's son, to the west of
the church for burial lots. In 1906 another addition to the cemetery was bought
and also ground for a shed to shelter the horses and carriages during the times
of services. In 1925 the cemetery was separated from the church proper and was
chartered and was then a chartered cemetery operated separately from the
church. However, until Aug. 24, 1953, the trustees for the church and cemetery
were the same people, but elected separately. In 1955, the horse and carriage
shed having been removed, additional land was acquired from Mr. Clayton H.
Fortna for additional parking space. In 1977 the church property was up for
sale and the cemetery association purchased the property. 40º25.06N76º28.28W
