EMANUEL MEILY COVERLET HISTORY OF EMANUEL Meily, Emanuel, Jr. (ca. 1805 – 1869) Born in Pennsylvania, he is listed by the Lebanon County Historical Society, Lebanon, Pennsylvania, as weaving in Fredericksburg, Lebanon Co. around 1810. On March 1, 1834, Emanuel Meily, Jr. and John and Samuel Mellinger received a U.S. patent for a “weaving machine” to weave coverlets, diapers, carpets and so forth, which was described as a type of machine never before used in America. Meily appears in the 1842 Lebanon Borough tax records as a weaver. In his household were two other weavers, Henry Bellman and David Yingst. David Yingst later married Emanuel’s daughter, Christianna. Meily is included in the 1850 U.S. census for Lebanon as blue-dyer, while the 1860 City Directory describes him as a weaver at the corner of Market and Hill Streets.
