Joseph Planta Minnick

Dr. Joseph Planta Minnick, who married Ann Green, the second daugther of Capt. John Green, was a son of Christian Minnick. Christian Minnick owned the Minnick Ferry across the Delaware and a farm just below Bristol, Bucks Co., PA. The elder Minnick was Swiss.

Dr. Minnick was apparently active in public affairs and was a councilman in Bristol Borough in 1791 and burgess from 1792-1798. He bought the Bristol Bath...[the] buildings were torn down in 1888 when a new street cut through the site and the springs were no longer so fashionable as they oncewere. Dr. Minnick and wife moved to Tennessee about 1815.
