"History of Mill Creek and Sandy Valley and its Early Settlement" (Jackson County Pioneers) by John House
He was married to Harriet Lowther, a descendant of Col. Wm. Lowther, of Harrison County, and daughter of Robert Lowther.
A gray old weatherbeaten headstone under the shadowy beeches of the central part of the old Ripley graveyard bears the quaint inscription –
“Here lys the body of Harriet Wetzel wife of John Wetzel born Dec the 12th 1817 and died the 7th of March 1845”
John and Harriet Lowther Wetzell’s children were:
Hon. Robert T. Wetzell, of Ravenswood.
Elizabeth Wetzell, married Ben Chase, who was killed in the Confederate Army, at Lloyd’s Mountain. They had a daughter, Greek Chase, who married a Park. She was very proud of her New York origin. She once said “Virginia doesn’t hustle enough to suit me. One class does not have to work, and the other won’t”.
