Susanna Staley

Hans Jacob Staehli STALEY age seventeen married Susanna RUTERSHAUSER age sixteen on 1697 in Amriswil, Thurgau, Switzerland.

They most likely escaped Switzerland down the Rhine River valley region of Germany to Binsdorf, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany due to religious persecution inspired to follow the Protestant Reformation.

1. Ulrich Johannes Jacob Staehli STALEY, b. 1700 Switzerland; m. 1724 Switzerland; e. 1733 PA USA; d. 1766 PA USA

2. Joseph Staehli STALEY, b. 1716 Germany; m. 1733 Germany; e. 1733 PA USA; d. 1767 NC USA

Susanna RUTERSHAUSER age 46 died on 27 Oct 1727 in Binsdorf, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.

After her death Joseph immigrated to England and then to America. It is believed Joseph Staehli STALEY a widower was an immigrant to America in 1732 to the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania along with the families of his two children and grandchildren.
