[Mercy VII-00] notes: "This is an educated guess listing her as a daughter of Thomas.  In 1849, a girl by the name of Lavinia Mechling married a John Wagoner.  If she was 18 when married, this would put her birthdate as around 1831.  Living in Hunterdon Co. NJ in 1831 were the 5 sons of Peter.  Sons Hiram and Peter were too young to be her father, and probably was William.  The other son - John - married in 1840 probably to Eliza Ann Spangenburg...and this Eliza Ann could not have been her mother.  As a result of this speculation, Thomas seems to be the best possibility of being her father."
        Lavinia married John WAGONER.
