Amy ... knew that the names were familiar but it has taken me a while to find the reference.
John BRESSLER, son of Michael and Barbara (HETZEL) BRESSLER was born in 1800 in Pine Grove twp, Berks county, PA and baptized in Hetzel's Church.He died 18 May 1880 in Hegins, Schuylkill, PA and is burioed at Frieden's Church.He married as his first wife on 26 Nov 1826 - Barbara HAND, dau of John and Margaretta (ZIMMERMAN) HAND of Porter twp, Schuylkill county, PA.Barbara was born in 1802 and died 8 Dec 1827 in Hegins, PA and is buried at Frieden's Church.Their son John Hand BRESSLER was born 29 Nov 1827 in Hegins, PA - died 3 Nov 1902 and is buried at Mt Lebanon Cemetery in Lebanon, PA.He married Mary Ann HEILMAN.
John married as his second wife Elizabeth GEHRES, a widow.I believe they had nine children.
More info is given on the descendants of John Hand BRESSLER.This information comes from a typescript genealogy that was given to me by a great aunt about 35 years ago when I started my quest for genealogical information.I do not know how long this had been in my family but think it was written by someone names Leo A Bressler.Another typescript document appears to have been the work of "Cousin Bert"- am not sure just who he isat the moment.Leo Bressler gives the spelling of Barbara's name as HENN.
Hope that this is useful to you.SHRYLL
