Mary Shelly Kayser's father is Doctor Christian Shelly and her mother is Magdalena Kauffman of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I strongly believe that she is the wife of Charles Sebastian Kayser/Keyser.

"...Charles came to America from Germany as a hired soldier in the service of Great Britain to fight against the French and Indians. After the disastrous battle near Pittsburg, July 9, 1755, he was butcherer in Braddock's army. He married a Miss Shelly, in Philadelphia, and came to our Valley and lived on Mill Creek...." ~Adam Strickler

Suggested edit: Shelly originally Schelle. According to what I have read, they were Mennonites from Switzerland.
