Family:Unknown Mungle and Unknown (1)

Mungle/Mongle Family

Jacob, Frederick & Daniel Mungle/Mongle are likely siblings that probably migrated from Pennsylvania [there are several Mongle/Mungle families there] into what was then Fincastle County, Virginia abt. 1774. Jacob Mongle is listed as having an 86-acre tract surveyed on 23 Dec. 1774 on the "North Fork of the Holston River", near Abingdon, VA, and land entry records show that both Jacob and Daniel Mungle owned land there with a settlement date of 1773. This area later became part of Washington County, Virginia in 1776-7 when it was formed from Fincastle and part of Montgomery County, Virginia.

Frederick and Daniel Mungle are listed on the 1774 Militia Company Roster of Capt. Evan Shelby in the Battle of Point Pleasant, and Frederick Mungle was an early casualty of the conflict, dying shortly after being attacked by Indians on 7 October 1774.

Daniel Mungle had a similar conflict with Indians at Fort Nashboro [later Nashville, TN], but luckily he managed to escape an Indian attack in 1780 and he left his will in Smith County, Tennessee in 1803. He married Abigail McKinney 12 Sept. 1786 in Washington County, Tennessee and they had two sons together, Isaac and John Mungle.

Jacob Mungle stayed in Washington County, Virginia until his death in 1818, where his will was probated on 2 November 1818. He married Maria "Mary" Gobble abt. 1782 and they apparently had 8 children together, 7 of which were named in his will.

Additional research is needed to prove their suspected relationship and parentage.
