John Rishel in Rockville, MD

I am researching the Rishel family which came from Germany, landing in Philadelphia shortly before the Revolutionary War. Their descendants eventually settled in Northwestern Ohio.

Other families I am researching in Ohio include the Beards, Allgires and Wilsons (Robert Wilson originally settled in Medina County, OH in the early 1820s.

I am also researching the Pritchett and Roberson families in Texas. They moved from Alabama to Texas in the 1890s. The Pritchetts came from Marshall County, AL.
