From Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 49:
John Dunkelberger, grandson of Clement, was born in Windsor
township, near Hamburg, in 1740.He married there and had two sons by
that marriage, in 1780 (at which time hewas a widower) moving with his
son George to the northern part of the MahanoyValley, in Northumberland
county - that part of Mahanoy now embraced in Little Mahanoy township.


He received from the State, a warrant for more than two hundred acres of
land, located north of Line Mountain and between that and Mahanoy creek.
The Indians were his neighbors, and were friendly to him, but during the
terrible Indian disturbances his family on several occasions had to flee
for safety. There he built a stone grist mill and stone dwelling house.
In 1814 he is credited with a grist and saw mill on Mahanoy creek which
mill is said to have been the first in that section. He built the mill


several years after locating in that district. On the John Dunkelberger
homestead still stands a large stone house, 45 by 35 feet in dimensions,
and two and a half stories high, which was built in 1818, the year in
which this pioneer died. Large, well-selected stones were used in its


construction and the wall is exceptionally strong.
After settling here John Dunkelberger married again and had two
sons by his, second wife, Solomon and Jonathan, from whom most of the
Dunkelbergers arc descended. These pioneers are buried on their own
farm on an elevation below a piece of pine woods, about fifty feet
northeast from a public road. Their graves are marked by marble
tombstones, inscribed as follows:
