Could it be that John Weis (Weis-559) and John Weisz (Weisz-2) are the same person? They both died in same year at same place. Additionally (what first caught my attention) is that they both married a Catherine (or similar phonetically).

Yes, I agree they are the same person. They are also the same person as White-30162 which has an Unmerged Match in place. They can all be merged. My only concern is a source for the surname of Catherine.
