• Notes

  Whitsel Name Meaning Americanized form of German Weitzel or Witzel. "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800" has a will from Valentine Fauber that refers to Magdalena Weitzel as his executrix. The will was executed in 1789 in Augusta, VA but according to a marriage record, she was married to William Haigler, Jr. in 1780. The names, dates and place all seem correct but what about her marriage to William? If it was a second marriage, the first to a man named Weitzel, surely her father would have used her new married name in his will.
