. John Weisel
B. ca. 1828, present-day King Township, Bedford County, PA. M. ca. 1855,
Bedford or Blair County, PA to Mary E. Montgomery (b. 10 July 1835, Blair
County) d/o. Michael Montgomery (a native of Ireland) and Margaret
Tickerhoof. Mary was a Catholic, having been baptized in St. Patrick's
Catholic Church in Newry, PA. John and Mary adhered to the Protestant faith
early in their married life, as evidenced by the fact that their first child
was baptized in the Old Log Lutheran and German Reformed Church in
Osterburg, PA. For the first decade or so of their marriage, John and Mary
lived near his parents in present-day King Township, Bedford County, but in
the 1860s, they moved to Clearfield Township, Cambria County, PA, and
settled near the community of St. Augustine. By this time, they were
Catholics, as evidenced by the fact that all of their children who were born
in this area were baptized in St. Augustine Catholic Church. John worked as
a laborer. He and Mary had eight children. They both died sometime after
1880 and it is not certain if they remained in Clearfield Township or if
they moved away.
