[M] #42950 William Mechling ( Daniel Mechling • Philip Mechling • Diebold "Theobald" Mechling◊ • Diebold Mechling◊ • Martin Mechling◊ )
William was born 11 May 1825 in York Co., Pennsylvania. He was baptised 17 Jul 1825 in Christ Lutheran Church, York, York Co., Pennsylvania. He died 9 Nov 1878 in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. He was buried in Saint John's Cemetery, Shiremanstown, Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania.
At an early age he moved from York Co. to Upper Allen Twp. in Cumberland Co.
The birth date listed on his FindAGrave entry, 20 May 1825, is inconsistent with his grave marker, which states he was 53 years, 5 months, 29 days old when died on 9 Nov 1878.
William married #45054 Anna Sheely.
Relationship notes |
They married. |
Other names for Anna: Anna Mechling.
Anna was born 1 Feb 1824 in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania. She died 26 Mar 1903 in Pennsylvania. She was buried in Saint John's Cemetery, Shiremanstown, Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania.
She is the daughter of John Sheely. Her maiden name is spelled Sheeley in her daughter's obituary.
The dates listed in her FindAGrave entry (6 Feb 1830–28 Mar 1903) do not match my reading of her grave marker. I believe it says 26 Mar 1903 for her death date, and an age of 79 years, 1 month, 25 days would not be that birth date regardless of how the death date is read. The stone is somewhat eroded and it's hard to tell if the "25 days" is actually "26" days. If so, her birth would have been 31 Jan 1824.
