      Note: a Samuel Kneisle and Maria Patterson, married 4-14-1813 at Trinity
      Lutheran Church, Lancaster, PA!! (Maria Catharine??). What are the chances
      that a differentSamuel Kneisle in the same area married a different Patterson girl?

      Maybe Samuel married Maria Patterson first, then he married Maria's sister Catharine?
      Since I didn't see the original record, maybe the marriage isn't really to "Maria"?

      Note - there were Pattersons in Hempfield in 1790 (but can't find in 1800)
