    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 writing or signature in the book itself.

    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.
