Hey Judy! Nice to here from someone about Mahlon. I can reliably say though, my Mahlon was definitely as WESSNER (and it was spelled that way in the early 1800's. I have everything about him from census info beginning in 1840 and forward from there. It's just his birth, parents and any other relatives that I can't pin down! In my quest I found some interesting info on the Wessner family (and about 21 different variations on the spelling.) Did you know about WESSNERVILLE, Pa.? Diane
