"1813 8.a Aprilis 10 Weber vidua [widow]" (Conewago Chapel Burial Register page 277)
Anna Maria Weissang/Wysong was married to Sebastian Weber/Weaver. Please see his memorial for more details about their family. Baptismal records for their children relate that her maiden name was Weissang, leading to the assumption that she was a daughter of Ludwig Wysong.
Ludwig Wysong, probable father of Anna Maria Wysong Weaver
Ludwig Wysong was born about 1678 in Strasburg, Alsace Lorraine, Germany/France, possibly in a village in Saarland, Germany, south of St. Ingbert and east of Saarbruecken.
Ludwig's Ancestry
He was a descendant of Joseph Pier Vincent/Weissang, a rebel against King Henry II of France. Joseph Pier Vincent was one of the two sons in the Vincent family of Nimes, France who escaped the wrath of King Henry II when he sent his armies to the Vincents in 1558. The Vincent family had put up resistance to Henry's excess taxes that paid for his war with Spain. Joseph Peter fled to Durloch, Germany, while the other son went to Interlaken, Switzerland. In Durloch, Joseph changed his name to "Weissang," the German for "Vincent." During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), the Lutheran Weissangs stayed in Durloch, and the Catholic Weissangs went across the Rhein River to Saarland, where they changed their name to "Weisang" and some even went back to "Vincent." Ludwig Vincent/Vinsent/Weisang/Weissang was born here in Saarland about 1678. He Americanized the name to "Wysong" following his immigration to the United States.
Saint Vincent de Paul was born in the parish adjoining Nimes, France, where the Vincent/Weisang family was originally from, and his grandmother was a daughter of Joseph Pier Vincent/Weissang. This makes Ludwig Wysong and St. Vincent de Paul some sort of cousins, although what kind cannot be established until Ludwig Wysong's exact descendancy from Joseph Pier Vincent/Weissang is determined. St. Vincent de Paul's grandmother may be an aunt, great-aunt, or great-great-aunt to Ludwig Vincent/Wysong.
Ludwig's Immigration
There are multiple possibilities for when Ludwig came to America, and some of them follow. It is believed that Ludwig Wysong immigrated to Wales from Alsace-Lorraine, and then came to Philadelphia on October 27, 1738 on board the ship "St. Andrew," using the name "Lewis Vinsent." Records indicate that the quarantine doctor said that he was to sick to leave ship and come ashore to take the oath of allegiance. A family tradition says that upon reaching adulthood, he left Alsace for Wales, where he joined the King's Army and came to America with them in 1715, where the soldiers called him "French Louie." A possible explanation for this discrepancy is that he returned to Wales and then returned to America in 1738 aboard the "St. Andrew."
Ludwig's American Home
He settled in Manchester Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which in 1749 became a part of the then newly-created York County. He was a blacksmith and his neighbors reportedly called him "Welsh Long" and "Welsh Lewis." In 1766, his property was a 176 acre farm in Manchester Township, purchased from John Penn. In 1782, he lived on a farm in Heidelburg Township, also in York County.
Ludwig's Family
Reinhardt and Susan Hammer were sponsors at the baptisms of two of his children, which led to the assumption that they were his parents-in-law, and that his wife was Mary Susan Hammer. There is also some evidence that he was married twice, as 1844 Cambria County, Pennsylvania court documents indicate that his daughter, Elizabeth, was a half-sister to his son, Lewis Wysong. The name of Ludwig's second wife was also Mary, according to his will.
Ludwig's will mentions he had ten children living at his death. Because only Susan and John Ludwig are directly documented as Ludwig's children, some of the following children may be children of Conrad or Philip Wysong, possible brothers of Ludwig Vinsent who came to America in 1740, or Simon, who came in 1742.
Mary Weyser married George Boardman in either 1747 (PA Archives) or 1757 (unsourced). The spelling of her name and the year of her marriage indicates that she may not be a child of Ludwig.
Susan Weissang was born on January 10, 1740 and baptized on May 19, 1740 at Christ Lutheran Church in York and sponsored by Reinhardt and Susan Hammer and Mr. & Mrs. George Henning.
John Ludwig Reinhardt Weisang was born on February 4, 1743 and baptized on February 9, 1743 at Christ Lutheran Church in York and sponsored by Reinhardt and Susan Hammer. He married Ann Catherine Kitzmiller and lived in Pennsylvania.
Valentine Wysong, Sr. (1744-1824) married twice. First to Elizabeth Albright. They lived in Virginia and had 9 children. Second to Susanna Coffman, with whom he had 3 children. He moved to Indiana.
Joseph Wysong died in a British P.O.W. camp in the Revolutionary War.
Elizabeth Wysong married John Plott and lived in Pennsylvania.
Veronica "Franey" Wysong married James Dole Davis on July 1st, 1770 in York County.
Catherine Wysong married Henry Hartman on July 27, 1773 at the German Reformed Church in Philadelphia.
Feidt "Fayette" Wysong (c. 1754-1837) married Elizabeth Phemach and moved to Virginia.
Anna Maria Weissang (1755-1813) married Sebastian Jacobus Weaver and lived in Pennsylvania.
Jacob Wysong (1757-1823) married Mary Byers and moved to what became West Virginia.
Henry Wysong is only speculated by Dr. Dudley Wysong to have possibly been a son, although there is nothing else to prove his existence.
Ludwig's Revolutionary War Service
Ludwig and five of his boys, John Lewis, Valentine, Joseph, Jacob, and Feidt, fought in the American Revolutionary War. Supposedly, Ludwig was possibly with the 1783 Continental Army 4th Company, 3rd Battalion under Col. Jamison, York County Militia, under Capt. Christopher Lowman, however, he would have been in his nineties.
Ludwig's Death
Family legend tells that Ludwig lived to the age 106 years, and that he was able to walk twenty miles in a day after the age of 100, although his will states that he was very sick and weak in body. Some say that he was 105 and that he would have turned 106 that year. His will was written on the 19th of September 1784 and was probated on the 29th of September 1784, after his death. Philip Schlentz, Jr. was the executor and Peter Hill Jr. and Henry Berringer served as witnesses. (Will Book F, page 286 in the office of the Register of the Wills, York County Courthouse, York, PA)
Ludwig's Burial
According to receipts, his funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Jacob Pellentz, a Catholic priest, according to receipts. Jacob Pellentz was a priest at the Catholic Conewago Chapel in then York County, placing his burial most likely at the cemetery there, for which there are no burial records until 1790.
