William Rishel, born about 1750 in Macungie Township, Bucks Co. (now Lehigh Co.), PA was the son of Heinrich Ulrich Rishel, born about 1720 in the Alsace-Lorraine area of Germany (now in France,) son of Johann Heinrich Rischelle, born 1687-90 in Germany. William had three siblings: Jacob; Leonard, married Magdaline Hittle; and Michael, born about 1750.To the best of my knowledge, little more is known of the descendants of Heinrich Ulrich Rishel and his sons.
In contrast, the family of Johann Michael Rishel, brother of Heinrich Ulrich, born 1712 in Germany and died 1760 in Macungie Township, has been well researched.Several books have been written regarding this family:
"Descendants of Johann Heinrich Rishel"Debra L Howard; available on-line at http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/w/Debta-L-Howard/BOOK-0001/0033http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/o/w/Debta-L-Howard/BOOK-0001/0033.(FamilyTreeMaker.com; User Home Pages)
"The Family Tree of Johann Michael and Catherine Steininger Rishel" Amber Rishel Keene (Private Publication)
"The Rishel Family in America"David Hoover (Private Publication.)
I have the first two of these and hope to have the third in the near future.
If you have more specific questions regarding this family, I would be happy to correspond with you.
