Issue
Johannes Westfael died young and had no issue.
Death
Johannes died young, possibly ca. 1742 [no source]. However he is known to have died sometime before his younger brother Johannes was baptized on July 5, 1647. Death would have occurred in the Minisink Valley region that comprised parts of Ulster/Orange County New York, Sussex County New Jersey, or possibly Pike County PA. These areas were serviced by the Machackemeck-Minisink Valley church. This would have depended on his parents residence at the time of his death.

This profile should be merged with Westfael-15.
It is unfortunate that virtually every time we have two children in a family with the same given name, and with near birth dates, people become confused and either merge the profiles or attempt to do so.
Suffixes, like II or III, are normally used to reflect the generational order...and are often used in a families where the family given name skips a generation, however, both persons carrying the same given name are alive at the same time. I suggest that using II or III would lead to misunderstandings...at least, the (1) or (2) stands out, simply because it is not a suffix given at birth.
