Dear Ms. Fortner,
I am writing because I accidentally ran across some news articles about Phillip Weigel/Wigle in some colonial newspapers on GenealogyBank.com, and in trying to determine whether he was part of my Weigle/Wigle/Wygle family (he wasn't), ran across your correspondence with Dave Osborne back in 1999-2000.
I don't know if you and he are still on the Weigel Family Genealogy Forum (Genealogy.com), but if you are, I thought you might be interested in some colonial newspaper articles on his arrest and sentencing to death on June 17, 1795 because of his involvement in the "insurrection" in western Pennsylvania.
