I had a lot of difficulty following the various pedigrees detailing Daniel Resler's family. I have no idea where the source for much of the information presented comes from. As far as I can tell, the most reliable information available comes from "The History of Fayette County", by Franklin Ellis, published in 1882 and available online in transcript form at the link below, from the USGenWeb Fayette County project.

Cross-referencing this information against census schedules, I am assuming that Daniel b. ~1752 was married twice, once to a woman named Schaeffer, and secondly to a woman named Ritenour. Some of these children were born nearly 20 years apart, and there appears to be a large gap between them. I have no idea how the published pedigrees arrived at their maiden names.
