Philip Rudisill and Susanna Beyer
I descend from Philip Rudisill and Susanna Beyer who were married in Lancaster Co PA 29 Oct 1734, his third marriage.My line follows from their daughter Susanna, born 19 Oct 1744, and Jacob Metzger (1734-1790).Philip settled in Mannheim Twp where he died in 1755.According to family tradition, Philip was one of 3 brothers who came to America.The source for this information is the "Tanger-Metzger Genealogy: with a Record of the Descendants of John and Catherine (Metzger) Tanger, 1773-1950" by Frederick S. Weiser (Gettysburg PA 1955).I have no independent source of confirmation of this information.I would appreciate any information that would provide that confirmation or additional information on Phlip Rudisill, particularly with regard to immigration and European origins.I have not consulted the Rudisill Genealogy cited in this Forum and would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has it with specific regard to whether this Philip Rudisill appears in that book and can be linked to the Swiss progenitor of the American family.If that proves to be the case, I will make the effort to track down a copy of the book.Thank you for any assistance and effort.
