Subject: 	Relatives of Scott Earnest

Hi Scott:
I found your WorldConnect Project site "Relatives of Scott Earnest" while searching for information on the surname Trissel. I have been trying to identify the parents of David Trissel (1761-1836) for some time now, and always run into various conflicts.
Some researchers have David's parents as Peter Trissel, Tressler, Tresler etc., and Martha Showalter. I have seen the same marriages that you have with Martha except for Peter Tressler. Some have also have David married to Martha, but that is not likely because she is at least 15 years older than he. However, that possibility cannot be ruled out. I do find one problem that you might be able to resolve. You have Martha m. Joseph S. Tressler abt. 1748 which is her birth year according to many Showalter researchers.
Do you have any documents that you can cite that specifically links Martha to her three husbands, Peter Tressler, Joseph Tristle, and Joseph Tressler?
