What would you like to know about Andreas
Weatherwax b:May 1739,d: 16May1824 and his wife: Catharina Reisdorff b:10May1745;d:18Jan 1820 and their 10 children?
His Parents were Johan Andreas Widerwachs,
and his first wife Anna Barbara Loscher.
Andreas (Sr) b:1700;d:1783/4 was the Immigrant arrivng NY Colony 1710. He remarried and produced a total of 19 children.
Most all Weatherwax's in the U.S. are direct descendants of this line.The First 2/3 genrations of this line are covered in Hank Jones book "The Palatine Families of New York 1710" Vol 2, pages 1092-1096 if memory serves me correctly.
by the way Andreas b:1739 and his wife Catharina are buried on their old farm in East Greenbush,Rensselaer Co. N.Y. This farm
is on the present day Binck Farm road, a complete reading of this Weatherwax family cemetery is online at the USGENWEB site for Rensselaer Co.NY, under Cemetery records.
If memory serves the Reisdorff family also intermarried with their neighbors the LAPE family. they all lived in the same area in the 1760's-1770's.
