Since this is not my line, I haven't done any research into primary sources for Peter, but I did find the following tidbit on my site:
Glea Brown Richer states, "The town of Frederick, or Fredericktown, East Bethlehem Twp,, Washington County, Pa., was surveyed and laid out in 1790 and named for its founder, Frederick Wise. Work on the town site was in progress when its founder died. The widow Wise evidently a woman of spirit, carried on the work with the help of Peter Noffsinger, (No.10), and she later married him. Among the first purchasers of lots in Frederick were Peter Noffsinger. and Andrew Noffsinger, another son of Rudolf."
(The History of the Nafzger Family in America, page 10[http://www.noffsinger.org/nafzger/book/book.html#5])
But then on page 13, she doesn't meantion a wife's name for the same man. She is also not sure that this is the same Peter [brother of Rudolf] that landed in 1749.
Is your skepticism of the marriage just the healthy skepticism of any undocumented link, or do you have something that seems to contradict this information?
