Notes for John Christopher MENG
John Christopher Meng. Born in Manheim, Germany, in the year 1697, he married Anna Dorothea Baumannin von Ebsten, on the 29th of June, 1723. They left their native place with excellent credentials which I have seen, and came to this country in 1728, in the ship Mortonhouse, Capt. John Coultas. He took the oath of allegiance on the 28th of August of that year, and at once settled in Germantown. The house he lived in is still standing, but is now converted into the tin-shop No. 4912. There was formerly a building north of, and connected with it, but back from the street. It was removed to make what is now the earriage-way to Vernon. The meadow, or a part of it, and the old spring-house of Meng, are, however, still to be seen, for they have been preserved by the late John Wister and his family. The property was of some extent, reaching westward beyond Green Street, and apple trees formerly of it are still standing on that part now owned by Mr. Reed A. Williams. The Mengs, the father and his son John Melchior Meng, were members and trustees of the church in Market Square, and both were trustees of the old Academy.
