[error corrected 5/30/05]
William Traugott Fishel probably died in childhood

----------

Children of Daniel Fishel and Sarah Elizabeth Ziegler
*Jacob Fishel (1804-1891) m. Susannah Woosley (1812-1868), d/o William Woosley and Catherine Amburn
Maria Elizabeth Fishel (ca. 1806-?)

*The possibility has been raised that Jacob is son of Philip Fishel rather than Daniel. However, he is living next to Daniel and second wife Magdalena in 1850, and his June 1804 birthdate fits nicely with Daniel's first marriage in April 1803, whereas there isn't much room in Philip's family between son William born about 1803 and son Daniel born December 1805.

Children of Daniel Fishel and Maria Magdalena Schneider
Rebecca Fishel (1808-1862) did not marry
Anna Fishel (1811-?)
Nathaniel Fishel (1812-?) m. Mary Magdalena Amburn (ca. 1806-?)

Jesse Fishel (1824-1906) m. Caroline Elizabeth Tesh (1827-1872)

Jonathan's first wife Louisa Spach was daughter of Catherine Spach, who in turn was the daughter of Johannes Spach and Catharina Barbara Lang. His second wife Charity Tesh was daughter of Heinrich Tesh and Susanna Barbara Rothrock. Caroline Elizabeth Tesh, wife of Jesse Fishel, was Charity's sister.

----------

Children of Philip Fishel and Rachel Elizabeth Miller
William Fishel (ca. 1803-?)
Daniel Fishel (1805-1881) m. 1) Catherine Eliza Mock (1820-1859), 2) Nancy Gorden (1820-1891)

Fifth Generation

Children of Solomon Fishel and Barbara Williams
Wesley Sanford Fishel (1844-1915) m. Sarah Catherine James (1863-1930)

----------

Children of David Adam Fishel and Polly Cheatham

David A. (Andrew?) Fishel (ca. 1837-?)

Children of David Adam Fishel and Lydia Clodfelter
Romulus Augustine Fishel (1841-?) m. Martha Carver, Illinois
Eliza Elvina Fishel (1843-1924) m. John Henry Nading (1842-1918) in IL, moved to Boone Co. Arkansas
Melvina Dulcena Fishel (1847-1909) m. Samuel Nading, died in Oregon
Mary M. Fishel (ca. 1852?)

----------

Children of Gottfried Fishel and Regina Hartman
Anna Rosina Fishel (1844-1876) m. William Gardner
Mary Fishel (1849-1880) m. John Henry Tesh (1852-1928)
Alexander Augustus Fishel (1851-1924) m. Emma Louisa Fishel (1848-1923), d/o Francis Thomas Fishel
Lewis Edwin Fishel (1857-1930) m. Paulina Spaugh (1857-1919)

----------

Children of George Fishel and Anna Catharina Miller
Susan Rebecca Fishel (1836-1884) m. John Floyd
Caroline Catherine Fishel (1838-1906)
Christian Conrad Fishel (1840?-1916) m. Susanna Regina Spach (1831-1898)
Zachariah Fishel (1841?-1930) m. Sarah Louise Knouse (1853-1926)

Zachariah Fishel's obituary states that he was born in September 1840, which is inconsistent with brother Christian's birth (from cemetery records) of August 1840. In the 1850 census, Christian is age 9 and Zachariah is 8, so we are guessing that Zachariah may have been born in 1841 or 1842.

----------

Children of Edward Fishel and Margaret Vogler

Julius Constantine Fishel (1858-1918) m. Miranda Schultz
Charles Sanford Fishel (1864-1953) m. Minnie Fritz
Ulysses Robert Fishel (1865-1940) m. Mary Atkeson

Is Laura Sophia's husband perhaps Henry Sylvester Rominger, born 1852, and listed in our files as husband of Charity Ann Yates?
