I did not see any WETZEL family that granted property in Lewis county prior to 1850.

The following WETZEL family members are in the deed index for receiving property in Lewis county (only listed up to 1840):
1825 - GEORGE WHETSEL from EDWARD JACKSON (Deed Bk E, pg 408)
1829 - DAVID WETSEL from BENJAMIN WILSON (Deed Bk D, pg 204)
1833 - JACOB WHETSEL from THOMAS O TAYLOR (Deed Bk E, pg 148)
1835 - JOHN WETZELL from REBECCA WETZELL al (Deed Bk F, pg 138)
1835 - DAVID D WETZELL from REBECCA WETZELL al (Deed Bk F, pg 140)
1835 - DAVID D WETZELL from REBECCA WETZELL al (Deed Bk F, pg 141)
1835 - REBECCA WETZELL from DAVID D WETZELL (Deed Bk F, pg 142)
1835 - REBECCA WETZELL from JACOB WETZELL al (Deed Bk F, pg 144)
1836 - DAVID D WETZELL from REBECCA WETZELL (Deed Bk F, pg 333)
1837 - JACOB WHETSEL from Clerk of County Court (Deed Bk F, pg 599) - tax deed concerning JOS HAMP heirs land
1837 - JACOB WETSEL from JAMES M CAMP (Deed Bk G-1, pg 296)
1839 - ABRAHAM WETSEL from JOHN LIFE (Deed Bk G-1, pg 477)
1840 - DAVID WHETSEL from DAVID H McGUIRE al (Deed Bk G-2, pg 977)

I did look up the details on the 1835 JOHN WETZELL:
6/19/1835 - REBECCA WETZELL (widow of GEORGE WETZELL who died intestate) and children: JACOB WETZELL (and wife EVE), ABRAHAM WETZELL (and wife PHOBE), and DAVID D WETZELL (and wife MARGARET) give JOHN WETZELL (another child of GEORGE WETZELL) his share of the property in the estate of GEORGE WETZELL. Note that: JACOB & DAVID D signed their last name as WETSAL while JOHN signed his last name as WETZELL ... the others made their marks.
