COMPILER: Dorothy Hallary Mercy

Theobald Mechling and his brother, Jacob, arrived in Philadelphia on 11 Sept. 1728 aboard the ship, the "James Goodwill", David Crockett, master. Since they were numbered among the 90 some Palatines aboard, it has widely been believed that the Mechling brothers came from the Palatinate, which is the southwestern part of Germany. A great-great-grandson gives credence to this theory. listing their home as being in Rheinfels, Bavaria, which today is part of Baden-Wurtenberg, on the Rhine River. However, since Dewalt, eldest son of Theobald, named two of his properties in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania "Mechlinburg" and "Strelitz" respectively, place names in the province of Mecklenburg in the northeastern part of Germany, doubt has been cast upon the Palatinate origin. Also the Palatinates were mostly Catholic, while Mechlinburg was mostly Lutheran, the religion of the Mechlings. Only further research will determine their correct origin. The "James Goodwill" sailed from Rotterdam, Holland to Deal, England, where on 15 June 1728, it left for America. Aboard were 42 men above the age of 16, comprising 37 families. Theobald's name is spelled as Teobald Mekeling on the ship's manifest. Upon arrival in Philadelphia, they went before the Provincial Council to declare their intent to settle peacefully in this country. They then signed a declaration of allegiance to King George II of England. Theobald signed his name with the letter "D", for Deobald or Dewalt, the German spelling. Theobald and Jacob went to Germantown, at that time separate city from Philadelphia, where they engaged in the tannery business for a few years. It is quite likely that an older member of the family was already living in Germantown then, as buried in Germantown is a Maria Mechlin, wife of Samuel, who died 18 June 1759, aged 61 years, 2 months and 4 days. As there is no record of a Samuel Mechlin in Germantown at that time, one can suppose that this Samuel had preceded the Mechling brothers to Germantown, probably establishing the tannery business, which may have attracted them to Germantown in the first place. The name Samuel is carried down in the Mechling family. Nothing definite is known about Theobald for the next few years, but apparently he married sometime during that period to Anna Elizabeth Lauer, daughter of John Peter and Anna Margaret Laurer. In 1731, his eldest son, Dewalt, was born, presumably in Germantown. In 1734, he obtained a grant of 125 acres in Bucks County, from Thomas and Richard Penn, sons of William Penn, and proprietors of the province of Pennsylvania. According to the record of land patents, warrants and purchases filed in Bucks County, Theobald secured land as follows:

June 29, 1734 - warrant for 125 acres (an estimate)
June 12, 1737 - 144 acres and 120 perches surveyed
Jan. 22, 1744 - warrant for 20 acres
July 17, 1744 - 23 acres and 18 perches surveyed
Apr. 29, 1747 - warrant for 11 acres
May 5, 1747 - 11 acres and 18 perches surveyed
Sep. 16, 1757 - 17 acres and 116 perches surveyed
Oct. 6, 1757 - warrant for 25 acres

Theobald moved to this land in Bucks County and built a log cabin, which is still standing, now incorporated into the body of a much larger house, on the property near Zionsville. The original log cabin is now the middle room in this house, with the original fireplace. The house has been placed on the Pennsylvania Inventory of Historical Places, as being one of the few pre-Revolutionary houses in that area. The log cabin was located near a stream, called Mechling's Creek (later Walter's Creek). A dam was erected across the stream and a mill built. In 1735, the Provincial Council ordered a road built, to be called the King's Highway. It passed close to the Mechling cabin. In 1737, Theobald signed a petition to have Upper Milford district, in which his property was located, assigned to a seperate region, which was finally done in 1752, when Northampton County was formed. It became part of Lehigh County in 1812. He was one of the founders of the Upper Milford Lutheran Church, donating 30 acres of land for the site of the church and a burial ground. His donation of fifteen shillings towards the pastor's salary in the years 1756, 1757, 1758 and 1759 made him one of the three largest contributors. But by 1757, differences of opinion arose in the congregation and several members, including Theobald, broke away and started a new congregation some two miles away, in the vicinity of present day Zionsville. Nothing is known concerning any active military participation on the part of Theobald, but there is one brief item in Pennsylvania Archives, Series 5, Volume 1, page 222, a report of the constable sent to patrol the frontier during the French and Indian War, mentions that Dewalt Mechlin of Upper Milford township had a horse returned. The report is dated June 10, 1758. He died in April 1765, leaving a will, which was signed "Davold Mechlin" and his mark "D". He is buried, along with his wife, Anna Elizabeth (he death date not known) in the old graveyard near Dillingersville. The graveyard is still preserved, but the Mechling stones have long since vanished.
