Elizabetha Kessler ~ George Nollert
Michael Kessler ~ Anna B. Schrank
Margaret's maiden name was Nollart/Nollert, but information in the will of George Nollart (Chester Co., PA, May 11, 1768.
June 12, 1770) lists a daughter Margaret Isinminger, as well as her siblings, Margaret Elizabeth, Philip, Elizabeth and Catherine--The
same names appear among the children of Margaret Iseminger. Also, a Philip Nollert/Nolbert was a signee/witness on Frederick
Iseminger's will. (info obtained from Sara Abbott (abbot@magicnet.net) 12/17/99)
Additional information from Sara Abbott (1/2001): She has found some evidence that the John Stone that was listed with
Philip Nollert as "highest relation" was the husband of Elisabeth Nollert Stone, who was mentioned in Joh. George
Nollert's will. There is also a Joh. Gg. Nollert in Schoenau, Wuertemberg, Germany at the right time to be ours. There was
also a Gg. Phil. Nollert, master baker. Our Joh. Gg. was a baker. The Gg. Phil. ws still there in the 1760s, but he could
be a brother, or even a father. Most Nollerts can be traced back to the Schoenau area. Also, Schoenau is about 20 miles north
of Eppingen, and Bretten is about 20 miles south of Eppingen, where Freidrich Eisenmenger emigrated from.
Here is a citation of the will of Johan Georg NOLLART:
