 Includes NotesNotes for Heinrich Kesselberg:
Name: Heinrich KESSELBERG
Birth: OCT 1661 in Mulheim, Ruhr, Germany
Note:I have a copy of the church register of the Reformed Church in
Mulheim a.d. Ruhr for the baptism of Heinrich Kesselberg, son of
Heinrich and Lisken, in 1661.

Death: AFT 16 AUG 1729 in Whitemarsh, Montgomery Co., PA
Note:His will was proved Sept. 4, 1729, in Philadelphia, just two
weeks after he wrote it. It mentions his wife Katherine, and children
Dirick, John, [BO:Paul:BO], William, Eve, Elizabeth, Mary, and
Catherine. His burial location is unknown. Many Mennonites felt
marking their graves was unnecessary, as God would know where to find them, which was all that mattered.

Note:There is a wealth of information on Casselberry families. A
quarterly publication called "The Gamp Tree" is devoted exclusively to descendants of Heinrich Kesselberg. Another source is "Casselberry & Allied Families" by Jesse Wendell Casselberry. Mr. Bean of St. James
Episcopal Church in Evansburg gave additional information, as well as
numerous notes from within our family. The Kesselberg's may have
originated with Silesian nobility around Militsch. Heinrich arrived
in this country as a single man from the region of Bakersdorf, Co.
Brugge, Germany, prior to 1691, when he first made an attempt at
naturalization. He first settled in Germantown, soon after it was
established by the "[IT:Concord:IT]" passengers, and was included in
early Germantown records. His name appears as a witness to the
marriage of Henry Ffrey and Anna Lovering performed by Daniel
Pastorius of Germantown. He was officially naturalized in 1709, and
bought 89 acres that same year in Farmerstown. He later moved to
Providence Twp. He and his wife were Mennonites. He and his wife had
eight children, Derrick, John, [BO:Paul:BO], William, Eve, Elizabeth,
Mary, and Catherine.
