Note: a Samuel Kneisle and Maria Patterson, married 4-14-1813 at Trinity

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"?

Notes:

Also, I was looking at your list of surnames and saw the name
Knisely. I am not descended from the Knisely family, but I am from a
related family -- I believe. Barbara Knisely (daughter of Samuel
Knisely of Juniata Co.) married David Holman 5 July 1853. David was
the son of Conrad Holman who resided in Spring Twp, Perry County and was
married 3 times. I am suspect that my grandfather Adam Holman (born 26
Jun 1786 in Coventry Twp, Chester Co., PA) is also a son of Conrad. I
realize this is a long shot, but do you have any information on this
family that would prove or disprove my suspicions? I would appreciate
any help. Denton Loving.

The actual biography is really about their son, Dr. W. H. J. Holman

note - carefull analysis of the signatures on the license application suggests
that Robert Conrad signed his name, but all information was filled in by the
Clerk of the Orphan's Court (including the bride's signature). Uncertain of Robert's
signature. But I wonder if Nannie was even present.
