Stone Cutter.
- Researchers of the Messerly lineage are interested in the Soving family because of the co-occurance of their immigrations. Both Henry (by occupation & cohabitation) and his sister (by marriage) are tightly associated with the Messerly family of Basil Ohio. If their families in Switzerland tie them to a city that could be the origin of Nicholas Messerly (1793), then there would be stronger coroborative evidence for Nicholas's point of origin.
