EXERPT FROM THE COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA-PAGE1482:
"JOHN MOHNEY,THE SON OF ADAM AND THE GREAT GRANDFATHER OF OUR SUBJECT (JOHN F MOHNEY),MARRIED CATHERINE WAGNER, AND THEY BECAME THE PARENTS OF THE FOLLOWING CHILDREN: MARIA,ELIZABETH,SUSANNA,MARY,CATHERINE,SARAH,LYDIA,CHRISTINA,FREDERICK,JACOB,ADAM,JOHN, AND ABRAM. IT WAS IN 1811 THAT JOHN MOHNEY AND HIS WIFE CAME FROM NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENN., TO CLARION COUNTY AND LOCATED UPON A PORTION OF THE LAND WHICH HIS FATHER HAD PURCHASED, ERECTING A LARGE STONE HOUSE THEREON IN 1824. HE WAS A FARMER BY OCCUPATION,AND A DEMOCRAT IN POLITICS, WHILE RELIGIOUSLY HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH. BOTH HE AND HIS WIFE DIED ON THE OLD HOMESTEAD, AND WERE BURIED AT OAKRIDGE."
HISTORY OF REDBANK TOWNSHIP
CHAPTER LXVI, p. 582
"John Mohney, sr., purchased of Pickering & Company a five hundred-acre tract adjoining Nolf's on the south, and built a log house near where Jacob Brinker now lives, and in 1824 erected the stone house which still remains standing. The wisdom of Mr. Mohney's selection of land is now quite obvious, as the best farms at the present time in Redbank township lie within this tract.
Mr. Mohney became an extensive farmer, raising large crops of wheat, which for want of a market was fed to the stock. At his death, the tract was divided into smaller farms, and occupied by his heirs. Adam and Abe located on the eastern part, Isaac on that part lying north of Millville, and subsequently known as the Guyre farm, John on that which is now owned by Jacob Brinker, Mrs. William Hoffman on what is now owned by James McWilliams, Mrs. Miller on the part joining Millville on the west, and Jacob located on a tract in Armstrong county.
