• Notes

  Suggested edit: By accident I believe the birth year for the older brother of this John Peter Leiss is recoded here as 1746. John Peter Leiss was born in 1748 in Marienberg (now Bad Marienberg), Germany. The older brother, Johann Henrich (Henry) Leis, b. 3 Nov and bpt. 13 Nov 1746, Marienberg, Germany is also buried in Host Cemetery. He is my 5th great grandfather. I have been in Marienberg and seen the original Church Book, and the birthdates are also published in "Westerwald to America" by Annette Kunselman Burgert and Henry Z.Jones, Jr., FASG, 1989.
