More About Jacob Danner:
Jacob Danner settled on the banks of the Little Lehigh in Macungie
Twp. Northampton Co. (now Lehigh Co.). He bought a large tract of land from the Surveyor General
on which is a large grist mill. It still stands today and is
know as Danner's Mill. He gave land for a school house to be
built. It was called Danner's School House. The original building
was torn down and replaced by the one there today, no longer in
use. The Danner land may still be owned by Danner offspring,
by the name of Schuler. (There is a strong possibility that this
story pertains to Jacob Danner Jr.).
The story above is from the book, Genealogy of the Danner Family, but this sketch has been updated by Gloria Hartzell:
Jacob Danner from the Danner book is not the Jacob who was the
one living in Longswamp Twp. The Jacob Danner (from Macungie Twp)
who is in the Danner book is no known relation to our Danner family
above. One Sunday afternoonmy husband & I went looking for the
mill. We checked every mill along the Little Lehigh starting in
Longswamp Twp where the creek ends as a trickle in a meadow. We
stopped at about 3 mills which were the wrong ones. Then we came
to this one place where I had the feeling that a mill could have
been. We stopped & asked at a very old house across the road.
They not only knew of the mill being there but also that the Danner
owner did not have it for long. The Danner Mill was torn down
and the space where it stood is a well kept field next to the
creek - with no sign that a building ever stood at that spot.
The Danner given name who was the owner does not show in the Danner
book but they told me his name is mentioned in the book, The History of Lower Macungie Twp. For more info contact Gloria Hartzell who published reprints of the above book which can be purchashed
from her. |
