A biosketch reports [18]:
Ludwig Mohler came from Switzerland in 1730 and located in Ephrata Twp and had sons George, Jacob, and Henry. Son Jacob married and had a son and daughter. His daughter married a Mellinger. Note: Based on wills and deeds, I assume that Jacob and Henry were not sons of Ludwig, but were, instead, sons of Henry Mohler.
