Jacob Mellinger Homestead in Ephrata Township
Looking for copies of any info, pictures, paintings, sketches of this early homestead near the Green Dragon Market in Ephrata Township of Lancaster County, PA.There is both a brick 2 story farmhouse (built between 1815 and 1831) and formerly a log springhouse with a stone lower level.Jacob was the son of John ('Hannes') Landes, Jr. and had married a Mellinger.The planation was likely in the Mellinger family from the 1730s to 1790s and then the Landes family from the 1790s to 1940s, and finally the Newswenger family from the 1940s to present.The last Landes owners were Martin Landes Weidman and his wife Irma Royer Weidman.
