This chart shows the two lines at Mt. Pleasant that descended from Anne Beyen and Nick Wagner, i.e. Peter Wagner=Barb Kieffer and Barbara Wagner=Nick Browne. Each of their offspring is traced for a 3rd generation. Please not how most married other Luxembourgers. This family was one of the main families to produce descent at Mt. Pleasant.

This chart maps out the first two generations of Luxembourgers and their descendants at Mt. Pleasant

This is a picture of the original settlers at Mt. Pleasant according to generation.

This chart shows the close biological relationships between the descendants of Peter Beyen=Eva Feidt and Elizabeth Beyen=Nicolas Weber and their descendants. Peter and Elizabeth were siblings.

Another sister of Peter Beyen=Feydt and Elizabeth Beyen=Nic Weber was Margareta Beyen=John Haag. The chart shows their descent. Thus four of initial settles in Mt. Pleasant all came from the Beyen family: 1. Annie Beyen=Nic Wagner 2. Peter Beyen=Eva Feidt 3. Margareta Beyen=John Haag 4. Elizabeth Beyen=Nic Weber---> John Weber

This graph shows that the Beyens married into the Pennings, Wagners, and Kieffers to form a cluster of families and their descendants. All but the Wagners came from the villagesof Breinert, Biwer. The Wagners came from villages very nearby.

A second cluster of families was formed by the Greiner, Weines, and Leonardy families whose descendants married into the Corpstein and Ernzen families.
