[F] #13802 Sophia Macklin ( Peter Macklin • Philip Macklin • John Peter "Peter" Mechling • Diebold "Theobald" Mechling◊ • Diebold Mechling◊ • Martin Mechling◊ )

Sophia was born 4 Dec 1842. She died 8 Jul 1867 from consumption.

[Mercy II-99] notes: "An interesting letter exists in which, she, no doubt enamored of John Andregg, wrote to him, inviting him to visit them, as her younger sister, Samantha (who was only around 14 years old at the time) wished to see him. Many years later, Samantha did become John's third wife."

Sophia married #13804 John Andregg.

John was born 24 Apr 1842 in Canton Bern, Switzerland. He died 3 Apr 1897. He was buried in Basil Cemetery, Baltimore, Fairfield Co., Ohio.

He is the son of John W. & Barbara (Sheidegger) Andregg. In between his marriages to Sophia and Samantha, he was married to Eliza Jane Bright, who died three months after their marriage. After Samantha died, he married for a fourth time to Minnie Capell.

John enlisted in the Civil War and served with the Ohio Volunteer Infanty. In December 1862, eight months after he had enlisted, he was shot twice in his left thigh and once in his right leg at the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He was taken prisoner and put in the Stone River Field Hospital near Nashville, Tennessee, but was later exchanged and transferred to the College Hill Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was still on crutches when he was discharged in April, 1863.

He was a properous farmer and sheep breeder, winning many trophies for his prize sheep. He and Samantha lived in the Peter Macklin house in Liberty Twp. most of their lives and in later years moved to Basil.
