I have a feeling after more than 10 years of research that most of us are related in one way or another.
Thomas Sessler in Maryland 1740 has been linked to as many different versions of this name as can be imagined. If anyone of you is in Maryland or near Frederick Maryland perhaps you could go to St. Thomas Evangelical Lutheran Church and look at bapt. records and the cemeteries for his children. We would all love to hear what you found.
His son Martin is the only one that I know for sure was bapt. there in about 1768. He and his family were next found in Betetourt, Virginia. There are a multitude of them spreading out as far as California.
The Morrill, Nebraska Branch of his great grandchild Susan Arwilda Sesler and her grandchildren is where I come from.
Someone in Betetourt Virginia might check the Evangelical Lutheran Church Bapt. and Cemetery Records for Seslar Sesler Sessler Sesslar and Sisler. Also the Greene County, Ohio Lutheran Churches Cemeteries.
I think that each of his children or the Census spelt there name differently.
Sesler Seslar Sessler Sesslar and Sisler have also spread into Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee as far as I can see.
Unless I have three verifiable sources for any one individual I don't add them to my tree. My tree is open to all and downloadable. I have so many questions from all of you about a link to your families. If there is one that you know of I will be glad to entertain the idea of adding you to mine. But all that I have verified is on my tree and I'm still looking.
I have a feeling the original Thomas Sesler Seslar Sessler had a brother or two with him in Maryland but I can't verify this. There are just too many of them in the Betetourt / Montgomery Virginia area to have come from one man. Please let me know if you have something and I would be willing to trace it down.
Also you have to keep in mind the Cencus Records are usually written by the person taking the Cencus, not the family member and they did not always get the spelling right. Persons in thoses days signed with an X because they didn't know how to read and write. I have found brothers living right next door to each other and spelling their last name differently.
There are two books that I know of out there with Sesler family history in them are "Blowouts, Blizzards, and Bunk" by Sheenrod and one resently published by George Hibben "THE PIONEER Hibben FAMILY of PENNSYLVANIA".
