JOHN
NICHOLAS ZANGLEIN was born October 11th, 1813, in
Schweinfurt, Germany, and came with his father to America in 1833,
landing at Baltimore. After a short residence in that city
they came directly to Pusheta township, this county, in which the
father entered one hundred and twenty acres of land in section 17.
In 1840 the father died, leaving his estate to his two sons,
John Nicholas and Andrew.
Mr. Zanglein was married in 1837 to Miss Susanna
Waltz. Of this marriage nine children were born, as
follows: John Henry, Anna R., Elizabeth, Franklin,
Rebecca A., Wilhelmina, J. N. Zanglein, Franklin B., and an
infant not named. After the death of the father in 1840
the two sons completed the clearing away of the forest and the
further development of the farm. Mr. Nicholas Zanglein,
as he was commonly called, was one of the most influential and
respected citizens of the township. He served for many years
as township treasurer and land appraiser, and in other minor
offices of trust during his life. He died March, 17, 1867.
