John Messerly
AKA: "Jora" Messerly (typo), John Messerley (typo), Hannes Mässerly, Hannes Meserly, Johannes Messerle
- 1810 Census Rockingham, VA: Appears as "Jora" Messerly . 1 male bef1765, female#1 bef1765. female#2 1784/1794; female#3 ca 1794/1800;
- 1820 Census Rockingham, VA: Appears as John Messerley, male#1 bef1775, male#2 ca 1794/1804; male#3 ca1810-ca1820; Female#1 bef1775. No other females. Speculation: female#2 would be from 26-36 YO, probably married by now. Female #3, would be 20-26, also eligible. Male#3 could be a child from one of these. Male#2 could be Solomon Messerly, since there was a male heir of John Messerly. Unfortunately, Solomon's eldest child was born 1808, so he would be 14YO if born 1794-1796
In the Church Register of Friedens Union Church, his name is given in variant German spellings: Hannes Mässerly, Hannes Meserly, and Johannes Messerle.[2]
