  Father	Joseph S. Wenger, ...[Eby 7967],   b. 21 Sep 1769, Lancaster Co., PA ,   d. 20 Feb 1825, Lancaster Co., PA  (Age 55 years)
  Mother	Elizabeth Zimmerman, ...[Eby 7967],   b. 21 Nov 1778,   d. 23 Mar 1840, Lancaster Co., PA  (Age 61 years)
  Notes	Married: The children listed for this marriage are taken from the Eby Book (Ezra E.Eby) as well as The Wenger Book. There are obviously some problems here. The Joseph reported by Eby died as an infant while Joseph in The Wenger Book grew up, married and had children. It was not uncommon to name a second, or even third, child the same as the previous child(ren) if they were desceased, so it is possible there were two Josephs. A bigger problem is the birthdates of daughters Barbara and Elizabeth who according to The Wenger Book were born less than 2 months apart. The dates may be incorrect or perhaps either Barbara or Elizabeth are incorrectly placed in this family.
