[M] #16013 Jacob N. Thomas ( John Thomas◊ • Anna Maria Mechling◊ • John Theobald "Dewalt" Mechling◊ • Diebold "Theobald" Mechling◊ • Diebold Mechling◊ • Martin Mechling◊ )

Jacob was born 1836 in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He died 20 Jan 1876. He was buried in Union Cemetery, Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.

He was a hotel keeper in Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.

During the Civil War he served twice. The first time was a three month tour starting 24 Apr 1851. The second time as a Captain from 20 Sep 1862 to 17 Jan 1863 or 1865 (the card is illegible).

He appears on the records for the Old German Cemetery in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. When the city ordinance banned further use of this cemetery, it fell into severe disrepair and families moved their relatives to other cemeteries. He was then moved to Union Cemetery.
