My Family Tree

Barbara was "wife of Martin Meyli" who at death had been married 24 years. She was also 70 years old when she died. This is inconsistent with Martin Miley marrying Anna Sabina Baettle before 1733 (they were husband and wife in Early Lutheran Baptism records from 1733 onward). Because of the age difference, it is possible there were 2 Martin Meyli's with one born about 1672 being the father of the one born 1691.

Miley is the anglicized version of Meyli or Meylin or Meili.

some dates are different; says Martin's wife was Barbara (1672-1742) and had a son Martin b.1714 d. 26 Dec 1742 ! and Hans, but specifically says that Martin from Zurich, Switzerland arrived in Pequea 1710. "Rupp says Martin Mylin's aged father, Hans, came over in 1710, but there is no proof of this that we know (Rupp, pg74). He was not mentioned in the warrants."
