Biography

Marriage

PROBABLE:

• Magdalena married Hans "John" Kneisley of Hempfield Township.

The book, Kneisley Genealogy, was printed in 1932. It implied John Kneisly of Hempfield Township married an unknown first wife. Her parentage is unknown.

The identity of his first wife is unknown. However, perhaps, there is a curiosity to look at the genealogical card file from Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. It says he married Magdalena and had eleven children, and it identifies just five children which is consistent with the deed record of 1775. It is possible that his first wife is identified as Magdalena.^[1]

His first wife died before he married second, Christina.
