    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. I am not yet sure what order this individual and siblings are ordered for birth. Their father, Hans Peter's will, has the following for order except that he lists all the boys before the girls. Order of sons are David, Jacob, John, and Daniel. Order of the daughters are Barbara, Eve, Christiana, Philipenia, and Ann. Donna Shell as cited below orders these siblings as follows [she does not show the eleventh child Michael]:
      Eva, b. 1744 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Philipena, b. 1746 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Joseph, 1749 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Ann, 1752 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Christina, 1753 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Daniel, 1755 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      David, 1757 at Lancaster Co., PA.
      Jacob, 1759 at Lancaster Co., PA(?).
      Barbara, 1767 at Frederick Co., MD.
      John, b. 11 Sep 1768 at Frederick, MD.
      Roy H. Wampler orders them as follows but he does note that his sequence is uncertain.
      Eve, b. ca. 1744-46, PA.
      Joh. Michael, b. 6 Oct 1747, PA; prob. died bef. 1792 since he is not mentioned in father's will.
      Joh. Jacob, b. 1749, PA.
      Anna Elisabetha or Ann, b. 28 Oct 1750, PA.
      Philiptenia or Phoebe, b. ca. 1751/52, PA.
      Barbara.
      Joseph.
      Christiana [Christina], b. ca 1760/61, PA.
      David, b. 1765, PA.
      John, b. 1768, PA.
      Daniel, b. 1770, MD.

      2. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.
