Ludwig Maentzinger or Mensinger Born in 1746 in Eppingen Germany. Moved to New world in 1751 at age 5 with father, Leonhard and grandfather Martin. (Both these parents/grandparents may have had a given name of Johan but went by the second name.) Ludwig was in the Northampton Militia in 1778, Company 2, Third Battalion, Northampton county Militia 7th class. He may have been a blacksmith and farmer.. He did live and pay taxes on 150 acres, in Penn Township, in1785. He is also listed in the census for 1790. I need all of the information I may receive. Wife, names, age, where married and childrens names plus birthplaces. It is as if he lived without touching anything permanently. I have much more information on his father and grandfather than I do on him. He is my GGG Grandfather. Nothing seems to work . So here is the shotgun approach again. I will reply to every message I get... Lee J. Mensinger 1229 Fredericksburg road, New Braunfels, Tx 78130 1-830-620-6575 lemen@x25.net
