Ibid, pg. 745, “There are two churches in Lowhill township, namely:
Lowhilll and Morgenland. … The organization of [the Lowhill
church] was effected at a meeting of the members held on the
27th of January, 1769, at which a constitution
and rules for the construction of a church building were signed.
Jacob Bachman, Jr., presented a tract of land … The names
subscribed to the constitution then adopted are as follows:
Jacob Bachman, Jr. … Jacob Bachman, Sr., Nicholas Bachman,
… Paul Bachman.” (A second list on this page contains the
name of Lorenz Bachmann as a contributor to the construction
of the church).

Pg. 302 (Lynn Township): “In 1781, Laurence and Paul Bachman
were assessed on property in the Township. Nicholas also was
of the family… Paul’s sons were David, Daniel and Nicholas.
They mostly immigrated to Ohio. The sons of Nicholas were
Paul, Peter, Nicholas, Daniel, Jacob and Jonathan. They settled
for a time on the land of their father, and later Paul and
Peter emigrated to Ohio.”
Brown, Edward, WADSWORTH MEMORIAL, Wadsworth, Ohio (1874);
pgs. 168-169; References the fact that the Baughman family
originated in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania (Lehigh County as formed from Lehigh, Lynn and Lowhill Townships of Northampton County);
Rev. Brown's book gives the details of some of the early Medina and Wayne County,
Ohio Baughman and Wall families. Although some information is not entirely correct it is a valuable resource for the history of early Wadsworth.
