About Joseph Sherk Wenger
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/29775294/joseph-shirk-wenger
Joseph was first married to Anna Martin and they had one child. After Anna's death, he married Elizabeth Zimmerman, born Nov. 21, 1778; all memebers of this family were Mennonites. Their eleven children, all born in Lancaster County, PA, were: Christian, Joseph, Barbara, Elizabeth, Zimmerman, Susanna, Isaac, Mary, Jonas, Magdalena, and Esther ( my direct line is descended from her). In 1825, while preparing to move to Canada, Joseph accidently scratched himself on the left wrist with an awl. What was a minor scratch turned into a major wound with blood poisoning setting in, and he died suddenly. Being almost ready for the trip, Elizabeth, the widow, a few weeks after the burial set out for Canada some 500 miles away with teams and 11 children. They settled in Waterloo, Canada living there for 18 months then moved north of town 2.5 miles across from the Martin Mennonite Church. She resided there until her death March 23, 1840.
The second account is that his first wife was Anna Martin, his second was 'Susie' (Susanna) Martin - both daughters of David Martin. He had one child by Anna and 11 by his third wife Elizabeth.
