Joyce,Thank you for the new information.I have a source that says Johannes fought against Louis XIV with the Prince of Orange & later the Duke of Marlborough.He then came to America with Queen Anne's Swiss in 1714.Her Majesty was providing in the New York colony a home for foreign troops in her service.I would presume he brought his family either with him or here soon after.Henry Wisner, Jr. who was at the Continental Congress is granson to Johannes according to my info. Hendrick is Henry in German so I guess that answers one question for me since I know I'm not direct from Henry.Will keep you informed if my research will help you.
