Discrepant Facts notes for 5G GM Catherine Weise
There are a few Internet Family Trees that say she was Catherine Weiser, daughter of Johann Friederich and my research into Johann Friederich shows him to have been a step-brother of the famous Conrad Weiser. (Conrad was famous as a translator and go-between for the Penns in their dealings with the Indians.)
But the church record of her marriage says Weisen and Weise (Weisen being the feminine form) was a not uncommon name in that church at that time.
I think the suggestion that she was of the Weiser family is mistaken.

Research notes for 5G GM Catherine Weise
Some Internet Family Trees say she was Catherine Wiese or Weiser. The church record of her marriage says Weisen (most likely the feminine form of Weise). From 1745 to 1765, 6 women and 2 men named Weise or Wesien were married at St Michael’s Church and just one person named Weiser (samuel Wieser 1760).
Children Names notes for 5G GM Catherine Weise
In addition to our ancestor Christina, Johannes and Catherine baptized these other children at Hain’s Church: Jacob 19 May 1773 probably died young, George Michael 13 Aug 1780, Mary Elizabeth 12 Sep 1775 (married John Duck), Susanna 20 Feb 1785 (married Christian Stock). And, from the land record when the heirs disposed of their father’s land, we can add John and Catherine who married Mr. Shaffer to the list of Johannes’ heirs.

IMMIGRANT. Strassburger records the arrival of Johannes and Canrath Aumiller on the ship Good Intent on 23 Oct 1754. Johannes is mentioned in Heidelberg Township, Berks County in 1767 and from 1780-1786 but he also acquired land in Penns Township in the 1770’s, served in the Revolutionary War with a Northumberland County unit and by 1787 seems to have become a permanent resident of Penns Township.
