Introduction
Welcome to the DLW Database. The DLW
genealogy database contains over 454,000 names (last updated Dec., 2012) 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 128,000. 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 182,000 descendants of
Christian Wenger. Many other families are also included in the database, including
other Wenger lines. There are over 182,000 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.
I would also like to acknowledge the
following large databases that have been very helpful.

Acknowledgement needs to be given to the
many, many individuals who have contributed to this project. Contributions have
ranged from published books, family genealogies and family information recorded
on slips of paper and in family bibles. Each and every piece has been a part of

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

descendants of John Weaver Wenger of Montgomery Co. Ohio. The history was very
helpful and very interesting. A small 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.

McClarnon, 1943.2.5, G181255543, * has helped to provide the research for this
book and in particular has supplied on descendants of Martin Wenger, G18-and
many other Wenger descendants and has resolved a number of questions regarding
conflicting data. Her critic of this history has been extremely helpful. A
collaboration with her cousin Deloris June Hammermeister, 1932.6.2, G18115F94
on a five year search for the descendants of Jacob Wingard and Susanna Zook has
produced over 2900 individuals. Her contributions to this history have been
very important and her encouraging support to DLW is greatly appreciated.

days with a copy machine in the garage of Jay Wenger. Those records are now

in 30 lbs of copies that were then studied over the following years. It was the
publication of the "Wenger Clan Notes" that first introduced DLW to the efforts of

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)

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.

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.

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
