    Mellinger land donated for research, education

    The Mellinger Farm, located located about eight miles northwest of Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, has been donated to OARDC and its development rights to the state and a local land trust to ensure the site remains agricultural for generations to come. Ken Chamberlain photo
    The Mellingers came to Wayne County to farm close to 200 years ago.

    The family had come to the United States from Germany and first settled in Lancaster County, Pa., before Benedict Mellinger loaded a covered wagon and began clearing 300-plus acres not too far from what today is Ohio State University's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.

    In total, five generations of Mellingers farmed the site, and numerous tenant farmers planted crops there after Patricia Miller Quinby and her sister, Virginia Miller Reed, inherited the site in the 1940s.

    Earlier this month, Quinby, who lives in Upper Arlington in the Columbus area, and the estate of her late sister donated the farm to OARDC and its development rights to the state and a local land trust to ensure the site remains agricultural for generations to come.

    "Out of respect for all of (the Mellingers') work, and for Wayne County too, I think it's important that it's not all paved over," Quinby said.

    The donation of the land to OSU will ensure the site remains a working farm. The 324 acres, located about eight miles northwest of OARDC, will be used for agricultural research, education and conservation activities by students and faculty.

    Steve Slack, OARDC director, said in a release, "We were in need of an outdoor laboratory to bring together the research in integrated systems by our faculty during the last decade. This is a unique opportunity for us, and we are indebted to Mrs. Quinby."

    The donation of the easement to the Killbuck Watershed Land Trust and the Ohio Department of Agriculture will prevent future nonagricultural development. The easement donation prevents present and future owners from developing anything on the land other than agricultural uses, except by judicial order.

    Howard Wise, executive director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture's Office of Farmland Preservation, said the easement donation is the 10th his office has received and the first in Wayne County.

    "We're working on several (more) right now," he said.

    The Mellingers purchased the land from the government and went to work making it a farmstead.

    "It was all in timber," Quinby said. "They had to clear the land."

    The Mellingers were weavers and opted to raise flax and sheep at the farm. They were skilled in designing patterns for linens and coverlet, Quinby said.

    Quinby's father's sister married a Mellinger, which is how the Wayne County farm eventually was passed down to the siblings. Since 1946, the farm has been rented to tenants; it was operated a dairy for some time and was used for crops.

    Quinby said she and her sister wanted to find someone to continue to farm the land. They contacted OARDC and finalized the details earlier this month.

    More than half of the farm is used for crop production. Mixed hardwoods cover another 120 acres, and the remaining area includes buildings, pastures, a stream and road right-of-ways.

    According to OSU, the farm "will incorporate integrated systems of forestry, crops and livestock, emphasizing the linkages among production, environmental quality, economic feasibility and social responsibility. Research will be conducted at multiple levels -field, landscape, whole farm with diversified enterprises. These include balancing field crop and livestock management, development of high-value food and 'nutraceutical' products, creating cropping systems with the use of new species and combinations of species, composting and nutrient management studies, precision agriculture and environmental quality, and whole farm/landscape modeling."

    Ownership of half of the property (the portion held by the Virginia Miller Reed estate) already has been transferred to the university. The remainder will be transferred during the next six years.

    The farm has been in operation since 1816, when Wayne County pioneer Benedict Mellinger purchased land from the United States government to raise sheep and flax for his family's weaving business.

  1. 8.  MELLINGER Melchior was born in ABT. 1730 in Ruchheim, Germany (son of UNKNOWN, son of UNKNOWN, son of MELLINGER Jacob, Jr.); died in Nov 1806 in Salem Township, Columbiana Co, Ohio; was buried in Ohio.

    Notes:

    Melchior Mellinger migrated to America on October 16, 1772 along with his wife who died at sea, two nephews, and his sister Christine Mellinger Burkholder and her husband. The nephews were the sons of Melchior's brother, Johannes Jacob Mellinger.

    Melchior can be found on the 1790 Lancaster Co, PA census records and the 1800 census records where he is recorded as overseer of the poor house.

    Goshen Archives: That frontier settlements were not without certain cultural treasures is testified to in the recod of Melchior Mellinger's personal property. Mellinger's heirs sold on January 20, 1807 his library consisting of at least forty-four books. Many were in German. the books were on theology, the bible, geography, arithemetic, and history. There were Latin and German dictionaries, maps of South America and Asia, Barclay's Apology, Godfred (sp) Arnold's History and Menno Simons' Confession. The county probate Court Record, C.P. Dock 13, 1807, which records the sale is one of the earliest records of its kind in Columbiana County. A copy of a Devotional Book of the Swiss Mennonites that was owned by Melchior Mellinger and listed in his estate at time of his death, is housed in the Schwenkfelder Library at Pennsburg, PA. This writer was allowed to hold and look through the book, it is still in pretty good condition though the clasps have been broken and the cover is somewhat used. There was no

    The founding of Mennonite communities in Columbiana County, Ohio, began in 1801 or before. Melchior Mellinger settled in Salem Township in 1803, having come from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Melchior purchased section 24 with his son in law Martin Hoke.

    It seems likely that the ship they came over on was the Crawford which docked in Philadelphia on October 16, 1772. The ship had started out in Amsterdam and then stopped in Cowes, England, and then proceded on to Philadelphia, a normal route for those days.

    Melchior married UNKNOWN in ABT. 1766 in Germany. was born in ABT. 1740; died in 1772 in Died at sea. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Unknown Writer:

    Christian Binkley (1737-1805). Born in Lancaster County, PA. He married Elizabeth Shulmacker and they lived in a two story stone house near Eden, Northeast of Lancaster on the Conestoga Creek. Here he built, around 1779, a grist and saw mill and in 1789 the famous Binkley's Bridge. The mill was three and a half stories high and measured thirty by sixty feet. It is said he was wealthy. he is listed in the records as having __rded horses, along with other Lancaster citizens, in compliance with the Army order of 1 August, 1780 which stated "the county was to furnish 1,200 barrels of four monthy, 5,000 bushels of forage, 50 wagons, 400 horses and 700 men."

    The bridge, located where the current Route 23 crossed the river, was the first stone bridge in Lancaster County and cost about $17,000 to build. To repay the cost of construction, Christian sought to have the state grant him the priviledge of making it a toll bride. Unable to secure permission, he later transferred the bridge to the public for one thousand pounds in sold and silver coin.

    Christian married SHULMAKER Elizabeth. Elizabeth was born in ABT. 1740. [Group Sheet]
