    'I ... have a newspaper article from 1993 ... I cannot verify the contents. This is from the Frederick News-Post and was written by a local genealogist, Calvin Schildknecht:

    "Another family prominent in earliest Frederick county were the Wetzels. In 1731 Hans Martin Wetzel, age 31, emigrated from Gerstorff, near Woerth, Alsace, along with wife Maria Barbara (Geist), age 33, and children - Martin Jr., 6, Nicholas, 4, and Katherine, 3 years. Martin Sr. was a son of Hans Nicholas Wetzel and Maria Barbara (Motz). Barbara and Martin Sr.'s son John Jacob was baptized in 1744 at Monocacy." '
