--John Graybill 3rd, "the Bishop", husband of Christianna Bertsch, probably owned part of the 1000 acres of land listed as property of John Graybille and is credited with the laying out of the town of Richfield, which was included in that early property. Their descendants have included many Mennonite ministers and bishops as well as influential farmers and businessmen until today [1980].

On July 29, 1837, being the son of Jacob Gohl of that place. His early years were spent on the farm, but about 1860 he went to Williamsport, where he engaged in business until the breaking out of the civil war. He then enlisted in a cavalry regiment and served until 1865, when he was honorably discharged and returned to his home. During the memorable retreat of Lee from Phillipsburg, Mr. Gohl was wounded and suffered the loss of one foot. April 22, 1869, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary R. Wolcott, daughter of S. P. Wolcott, and came to Athens, where he purchased a half interest in the Johnson grocery business, the firm becoming Johnson & Wolcott.
