GEORGE BREISCH was the son of Jacob BREISCH and Susanna [believed to be Susanna WIEAND]. Jacob BREISCH and Susanna came to Catawissa township in 1802. He was a stone mason turned farmer. Jacob and Susanna's children were: George, John, Susanna, Katherine and Samuel BREISCH.
A Jacob and Joseph BREISCH arrived at Philadelphia Port on 20 OCT 1764 via the Ship Richmond from Rotterdam. I believe this Jacob BREISCH was the father of George.
