CHILDREN of JOHANN von der DRESSEL called DRESSEL XX.1
AND ANNA von STAIN-STROLEHEN called STEINER

CHRONOLOGY:
born: 1743, Willenberg, East Prussia
mar: 1769, Stallupoenen, East Prussia, at age 26 married Marianna Doerfer von Scheiberlechen (n1.1; n1.2) and with his bride moved to this city.
1778: Gottlieb and his brothers Veit, Hans and their families received passports for North America and left East Prussia from Koenigsberg, but        as of now, no record of their arrival has been found in the American Archives.  They traveled in a group which numbered over a 100 persons, all of whom were related.  This group was organized by Pastor Brauer, who lived in Stallupoenen and already in 1741 organized immigration groups to North America, (source).
It is possible, that since this was the time of the American revolutionary War and that since the British Navy was blockading American ports, the group was not able to immigrate to North America but went some where else. Despite repeated research and advertising no records regarding Gottlieb and his brothers has as yet been found.

NOTES FOR GOTTLIEB DRESSEL
This Gottlieb could not be the Gottlieb that Prof. Grygier has listed as having married Dorota Pawlowski because he was the son of Christopher Droessel and the Noble Anna Ciehanowski according to the marriage certificate from his 2nd marriage, see XXIV.64

NOTES FOR HANS DROESSEL called DRYSZEL:
(n1)  Prof. Grygier identifies Jan as the son of Karl Friedrich Droessel XXXIII.? and identifies his wife as Helena Lenga. However, in the recently found marriage certificate of Jan and Helena, Nr. 12, page 12, film nr. #0.702.668, from the parish of Krzynowloga Wielka, Poland, Jan is said to be the son of Gottlieb Droessel, clothing manufacturer currently (1814) living in Willenberg, East Prussia and his recently deceased wife Catharina nee Erdman. Since Prof. Grygier was only able to use secondary sources for his research, this first source wedding document is given preference. All dates are taken from this document. see XXIII.20
(n2)   The Polish and German records show various spellings for Helena family name e.g. Lang, Leng and Ling, etc.  Grygier says that the correct name form is Lega with the accent under the e (pronounced Lenga).
(n3)   The mortgage document is to be found in the Chorzele "repertorium rejenta, Nr. 242"
(n4)   according to a letter dated August 22, 1983, Przasnysz, Poland received from  ? Rykowski, director of the Przasnysz Museum
