- 1761 tax list, Lower Smithfield, $4
The marriage of John Jacob Meixell to Veronica Zimmerman appears in the records
of the Reformed congregation of Tohickon Union Church in Bedminster Twp., Bucks
Co., PA. They were married by Rev. John Egidius Hecker.
On 4 November 1759 John Jacob and Maria "Verona" Meixell appeared as sponsors
at the baptism of John Jacob Meixell, son of John Jacob's brother, Johannes
Meixell and his wife, Anna Margaretha, at Williams Twp. Congregation Church. (listed
as Adam by error?)
John Jacob is believed to have followed his brother, Johannes, in migrating
to the northern tier of Northampton Co. The 1861 tax list shows John Jacob
taxed in Lower Smithfield (now part of Monroe Co., PA) for $4.
Note: a Jacob Meixel in Greenwich Twp, Berks Co, 1784, 80A, 1H, 2C, 2S
sp -> 1759, Adam [Johannes] Meixel and Margaretha (Williams Twp)
Catharine Salome Mischel [Meixell] 5 dec 1799/1800, sp AbrahamSchmidt and
Catharine Hammanin (Towamensing) (these seems too late to be the same Jacob
and Veronica!)
Dale asks - could this really be Jacob Sr, still alive and remarrying??
