Isemingers in Philadelphia, late 1700's to mid 1800's

Classification: Query
Surnames: Iseminger, Issenmenger, Eisenmenger, Eisenmanger, Lavell, Lavall, Lavalle, Bohle, Bohl, Elwell
I am a descendant of Sarah Iseminger (nee Eisenmenger or variant), born 01 Jun 1788 (according to our Family Bible), married Joseph Lavell (Lavall, Lavalle) 07 Sep 1808 (Family Bible), lived in the Southwark area of Philadelphia where Joseph was a ropemaker with his father, Peter Lavell.

I know from court and other records that Sarah had a sister, Catherine, who married Henry Elwell, 12 Nov 1806 (not confirmed). Sarah and Catherine had a number of other siblings, of which I don't know a great deal: Elizabeth, Henry, Adam, William (all unconfirmed). I have seen mention of Adam throughout Southwark/Philadelphia history and records.

I believe their parents were Nicholaus (Nicolas) Iseminger (Eisenmenger, Eisenmanger, Issenmenger)) and Elizabeth (Elisabethe) Bohl (Bohle), who were married on 04 Dec 1783 at the German Reformed Church in Philadelphia (confirmed).

Nicholaus appears to be a Palatine immigrant in 1749, naturalizing on 24 Sep 1759. He appears to have died between 1800-1810.

Elizabeth Bohle Iseminger was born 05 Dec 1758 and christend at St. Michael's in Philadelphia on 24 Dec 1758.

Does anyone have more information about this particular Iseminger family? I haven't yet found information about Elizabeth Iseminger's death (date or cause). Her father MIGHT be Johann Adam Bohle, who died in Moyamesing in Philadephia, around/before 3 Jan 1794 (possibly yellow fever). Her mother MIGHT be "Conradina."

I know absolutely nothing about Nicholas Iseminger's relations. I would love any leads!

I've amassed quite a bit of information and am very happy to share with others.

Thanks so much!
