I am Travis Wagner gggreat grandson of Peter Henderson Messimer. I have been researching this line since 1972. The parents of Peter Messimer are Henry Messimer b 1781,and Susan Bible. His grand parents are Jacob Messimer/Misermer (original German spelling), and Katherine Mauck,both born in Germany. Jacob served as a Captain 2nd Company,4th Battalion, 8th Regiment of Foot, Continental Army from Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War. Jacob came to America from the area of modern Kaiserslautern, in Germany on the ship, "Loyal Judith", in 1765 at age 23.
