Daniel Weigel
1745 - 1810

Daniel Weigel was a member of the Pennsylvania Militia. He was a Private in Captain Jacob Wilhelm's company, which was recruited mainly in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Daniel married Anna Weibler on March 15, 1767 according to records of The First Reformed Church of Lancaster, PA dated prior to 1939. It is believed that Daniel Weigel was born in 1745 and died in 1810, while his wife Anna, also born in 1745, died in September of 1820.

Daniel Weigel and Anna Weibler Weigel had 8 children. To add some credence to the date of the Weigel movement to Beaver County, PA being 1787 or there about, is the fact that John, Elizabeth, and Anna Marie's baptismal records are found in The First Reformed Church of Lancaster, PA while Daniel was "confirmed" by an individual in Beaver County, PA.. No baptismal records have been located for Barbara. Had those been located the date would have been surely tied down.
