General Notes: Husband - John Mechling


He was born in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, grew to manhood there and in Westmoreland County, and came to Butler County with his brother Jacob in 1796. They entered a large tract of land in what is now Washington township, built their cabins in the midst of the forest and began the work of clearing a farm. Jacob afterwards removed to the borough of Butler, John remained on his farm in Washington township until his death.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, and died in that faith.
