From Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families, pg 1510:
Philip Mixsell, son of Philip who was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., had five
sisters and four brothers; the youngest sister died at the age of seventy, the youngest
brother at the age of seventy-two, the father at eighty five, and one brother
died aged niniey-two years. Philip Mixsell is said to have never been sick, and
had but three months' schooling. He came to Easton at the age of thirteen years
and became a partner of Judge Wagener, who manufactured flour and transported
it to Philadelphia on Durham boats. In 1720 Peter Schuyler was the richestman, but
Wagener became wealthier.[Condit]

Philip Mixsell died in his ninety-fourth year, his mind unclouded to the last. In his
day he was one of the most efficient and energetic citizens. He was engaged
in the mercantile business under the name of Burket and Mixsell; no one filled
a larger space in financial and social circles. His disposition was mild and gentle;
he had good judgment and was temperate in every respect. In ealry life he was
rich and influential; in his yesra he was overtaken by reverses, financial
embarrassment and insolvency. [Easton Express 1870]

The record of the Mixsell family begins with Philip Mixsell, born in Conestoga Twp.,
Lancaster Co., Pa., November 23, 1731, died in Northampton Co., Pa., May
13, 1817. He was a nephew of Jacob Mixsell of Leacock Twp., Lancaster
Co., Pa., who came from Germany in the ship Mortonhouse, which arrived in
Phila., Pa., August 24, 1728. [Mixsell and AlliedFamilies]

Jacob was baptized as "John Jacob" at Williams Twp. Congregation Church. The
sponsors were John Jacob Meixell andhis wife, Maria Verona.

Note: The baptism of Jacob Meixell in 1759 shown inthe translated and typed
records of the old Williams Township Congregation Church show his parents as
"Adam and Anna Margaretha Meixel". After considering the following observations,
it is believed that this "Adam" Meixel was, in fact, Johannes Meixell.

1. The name "Adam" Meixel has never been found in any other church
records, courthouse documents, tax lists, etc. in Northampton or Monroe
Counties or in Lancaster Co.

2. Courthouse documents prove that Johannes Meixell's eldest son was named
Jacob and that he was born around 1759.

3. Johannes Meixell's wife was also named Anna Margaretha.

Jacob served in the Militia in Chestnuthill Twp. under Capt. John Griggory
commanded by Col. Carn. His name appears on the muster role dated 25 September
1780 under Class the 8.

28 May 1829: Jacob on Reformed Church council of Christ Church, Hamilton Twp.
