Weddle and Catherine (--?--) were as follows:
+ 7. i. Benjamin3 Weddle, born circa 1752 in
Lancaster Co., PA; married Annie Maria Eiler.
Amos Wood's "Floyd County" says Benjamin Weddle (B. 1742 in
Lancaster County. PA) is a son of Elijah Weddle, but "The Weddles of
Virginia" says Martin is the father of Benjamin. "The Weddles of VA" records Martin's will mentioning
his son Benjamin so I am listing Martin as the father.[4],[5]
