Siner-Whetzel marriage?

caulleys1 — 2010-08-15 00:17:45Z

I've seen a lot of trees that have Mary Whetzel (Wetzel / Wetsel) as the wife of John Siner (Sinor / Sinah) of Bedford Co., VA. A a descendant of John Siner, I've been trying to find any documentation of Mary's surname having been Whetzel.

Please contact me if you have documentation / proof that Whetzel, or one of it's spelling variations, was her surname.

Thanks

I have been trying to do work for a friend who's name is Whetzell and I am hitting a blank wall as well. His parents were William Whetzell and Louise Virginia Vanmeter Whetzell. Birth dates unk but killed in auto accident in 1985 in California. He has an older sister named Dorothy Mae. Let me know if you find any links.

DEED: Martin WHETZELL to John SIVERT-before 1834

Does anyone know anything about a deed from Martin WHETZELL (WETZEL) to John SIVERT in Sand Hill District, Ohio, Virginia before 1834? In a deed belonging to John's son in 1848, it says "whereon the said George SIVERT and family doth now live in Marshall County Virginia being part of a tract of land containing one hundred and fourteen acres conveyed to John SIVERT Deceased by Martin WHETZELL, this part now conveyed descended to George SIVERT as heirs at law of the aforesaid John SIVERT dec'd"
Another article says "John (probably Johann) WETZEL and family, who came to this district in 1769, from Pennsylvania, and made a small clearing and built a cabin on Big Wheeling creek, just opposite to where Alexander CALDWELL now lives. WETZEL's was a tomahawk right, but by actual settlement, his letters of patent right was granted in 1785, to the land now owned by E. and D. LUTES, Alexander CALDWELL, Hiram McCOMBS and others" (SOURCE>History of The Pan Handle; Being Historical Collections of theCounties of Ohio, Brooke, Marshall and Hancock, West Virginia.

I was going through my mother's stuff and realized her mother's maiden name was Whetzell born in 1901. I'm just trying to fill in as much on the family names as possible. Anyone related?

Pamela--check out this site, as it has lots of information on the descendants of Hans Martin Whetzel, whose son I believe you are referring to, and their land transactions.
