John and Mary's date of marriage is given. There are several Witt marriages here. She is probably the daughter of one of the Witts on that list.

•ID: I1134
•Name: Jagli (Jacob) ZETTY
•Sex: M
•Birth: Abt 1680 in Palatinate,Germany
•Death: Bef 1780 in Germany
•Note: Pure speculation till I find more. We know definitely Mennonite and part of the Mennonite migration from Switzerland. The Mennonites were actually Anabaptists and there was intense persecution of the people. They took the name Mennonites after a leader of the people Menno Simons. They were the only ones who did not believe in infant baptism and strongly believed in the separation of church and state. Unfortunately even their founder Zwingli turned against them and the protestants joined the catholics in persecution. Zwingli changed his mind on infant baptism and was for the princes and government (rich) more than for standing with his Brethren. 1
