Hi Nancy,
Johannis Fetherly/Featherly m. Elizabeth Anna Margarethe (Crouse/Crounse) are the parents of Johannis Fetherly/Fetterly.Johannis II married Mary Katrina Claus.
I've been unable to find any connection between Johannis Featherly Sr. and my ancestor, Philip Fetter/Fetterly, and another early Fetherly (I believe another son of your Johannis) which is Henry Vatterly/Fetterly (m. Eva "Effie" Davis, and died at Battle of Oriskany, NY c. 1777).
The German settlers had large families with very repetitive names, and different familes with similar names seemed to settle in the same communities.It makes it confusing to discern who is who.
