Re: Marcus Egli (Egle) and VERONICA ?

I’ve recently returned to the task of expanding the Eagly Family Genealogy to include the heirs of Marx Egli’s daughters. The huge expansion of on-line information that has become available is certainly encouraging – and can be helpful. Sometimes.

References to Marx Egli that pop up on Ancestry.com (or Archives.com) appear to depend on W.H. Egle’s writings. ( One sure sign: If Marx’s birth year is cited to be 1690, the reference hails back to W.H.Egle.) I have the greatest admiration for William Henry, who was raised by his grandparents after the deaths of both his father & mother, was a noted physician in Harrisburg before 1860 and served as doctor in the Union Army (including serving as physician in Pennsylvania’s first black battalion), writing a best-selling history of Pennsylvania for the Centennial, and being selected to organize the state’s Archives. In one of his letters he writes that he had contacted researchers in Switzerland, but he reports no success. One consideration is that he had no command of German.

My research in family history focuses on (1) Marx Egli, (2) Marx’s ancestors, and (3) one line of Marx’s descendants. Each entry is documented. I distributed copies of the volume to a few libraries, including the Pennsylvania Historical Society:

Re: VERONICA
No doubt, there’s a story here. Marx and Elizabeth had two (2) daughters:
Ursula, born 17 March 1726 (Old Style)
Susanna, born 18 September 1728.
There is/was no Veronica.
At this point it’s necessary to speculate or search elsewhere. Marx Elizabeth married in 1724 (March 17). The date assigned to Veronica’s birth is 1722.
Ursula married Jacob Kissinger.
