Yes, I believe this is the family I am seeking. If you have any information, please let me know.

Re: Eberhard

weeblez — 2009-06-23 18:23:56Z

Yes, I believe we have a connection. Eleanor E. Rosenfield was born Oct. 17, 1918 in Joliet. She died Apr. 10, 1993 in Kankakee (or this was her residence at the time of death). They had only one child, Robert, born in Joliet. That's all I have other than Eleanor's family. Eleanor is my second cousin once removed.

Thanks, Michelle. I would love to see that picture. You and Wally are the first Eberhard relatives I have found. Old Gotthilf told his son and grandson that he had been separated from his family while leaving Germany and had never seen them again. There must have been some odd estrangement between him and John. So I was pleasantly surprised when I found his passport application on Ancestry yesterday that led me to the ship register with the family on it.

I believe you are absolutely correct that John G. is indeed Johann Georg. I don't have access to my notes (I'm at work, and I just moved to a new home, so still in boxes). But as soon as I'm able, I'll do more research. Did you know that a memorial exists in Sharon Center, Ohio, with Gotthilf's name listed? (as a Civil War soldier). I have a photo - I can share it with you.
Would love to continue our conversation with more info!

clooniff — 2009-01-27 17:11:55Z

This is speculation based on the fact that John G. Eberhard and Gotthilf Eberhard (my ggrandfather)were living right across from each other at the Corner of E.Exchange St. in 1880. When Gotthilf arrived in NY 1853 on the John G. Coster with his family, that included a brother George born in 1827 or 1828--I wonder if his full name was Johann Georg? Not uncommon in those days to have Johann as a first name for all the sons and then they used the middle name at home. At some point a son moved to Cleveland and may be the one who founded the Eberhard Foundry there.

For those who may be interested in Barnhard Eberhard and Dorothy Stehr's line of Eberhard's I have posted my Eberhard - Stehr tree on RootsWeb. It contains 3140 individuals. It has information for most of Barnhard and Dorothy (Stehr) Eberhard's children, those who stayed in Pennsylvania and those who moved west to Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and beyond. It covers six and in some cases 7 generations.

Hi Wally,
I just discovered some information on a patent that your great grandfather had! Go to www.google.com/advanced_patent_search.
Search for Eberhard, in Ohio, years 1860-1915 - several Eberhard's appear.
How is everything going?

RuthSelf007 — 2007-03-05 06:38:05Z

Info from Weisenberg Church, Northamptom/Lehigh Co., PA. There was a Johann/Hans Jurg EHRENHARDT and his wife, Veronica who had a son, Andress, born 4 Jan 1773. There was, also, a Hans Jurg EHRENHARDT and his wife, Maria Margaretha, who had a daughter, Maria Barbara baptized on 5 Mar 1761 and the sponsors were Barbara HEILMAN and Henrich EHRENHARD. And there was Georg EHRENHARD and his wife, Veronica who had a daughter, Eva Elizabeth on 12 May 1771. I would say Hans Jurg and Maria Margaretha would be worth investigating further.

Re: Reuben Eberhard

SCarney — 2007-02-13 15:12:08Z

Grant Eberhard is listed among the household members in the 1870 census. He is a son of Reuben and Mary Jane (McCormick) Eberhard and a brother to Elmer. Elmer's full name was Elmer Ellsworth Everhart. Sabie was Reuben's second wife. Mary Jane and Reuben divorced not long after 1870 and Mary Jane returned to Colon along with several of their children.

1870 Republic Twp., Republic Co., KS, US Census, pg. 53
Eberhart, Reuben 35 M farmer 300/500 b. PA
Eberhart, Jane 35 F keeping house b. PA
Eberhart, Calvin 19 M farm laborer b. PA
Eberhart, Franklin 15 M farm laborer b. MI
Eberhart, Eldoras 12 M at home b. MI
Eberhart, Ellsworth 9 M b. MI
Eberhart, Mack 7 M b. MI
Eberhart, Grant 5 M b. MI
Eberhart, Lemuel 2 M b. MI

The spelling of the surname seems to have been entirely up to the individual. Most of the family used Eberhard although Eberhart, Everhart and Eberhardt also appear in the family.

Re: Reuben Eberhard

ltunks72 — 2007-02-13 14:49:30Z

June and Sue,
My information on Reuben is a bit limited, but I can tell you what I know (might not be too much).
My grandmother, Velma Verleen Everhart Tunks (married Merle Tunks, May 1, 1943) is the daughter of Frank Everhart (b. June 5, 1895 in Belleville, KS) and Lydia Pearl King (b. Oct. 15, 1893 in Cuba, KS).
Frank's father is Elmer Everhart (b. Feb. 4, 1854, d. March 5, 1952). Elmer was born in Colon, MI. He was married to Susie Blanchard (b. May 22, 1864, d. Aug. 6, 1918) from Wisconsin. For a time, it seems as though Elmer worked for the Rock Island RR as did his son Frank (my ggrandpa).
I know very little about any of Elmer's siblings. It is possible that Reuben might have been a brother. I have some old photocopies of a picture of Reuben (Civil War vet, 15th inf. Mich.) and a younger male who I believe is named Grant Everhart. On one of the photocopies, it states that Grant is a grandson but I am unsure how he fits in. This is one of the questions that I am trying to solve.
Initially, I thought that Elmer might be Reuben's son, but as I do the math, it is not possible. What is possible is that Elmer may be a younger brother or perhaps a cousin, but again, I do not know which leads to another question I am looking to answer.
Buried next to Reuben Eberhard is Sabie Smith Eberhardt (b. 1828?, d. 1912. I am not sure who she is, but I believe she may have been a wife to Reuben, based on the proximity of the grave. Again, another question I have.
I do have more information on Elmer's children (such as names and birth years) if you are at all interested, particularly Frank (WW 1 vet) as he is my grandma's dad, and his children.
Any information to fill in the holes would be more than appreciated. Thank you and take care.

I am looking for Linda Eberhard who has a daughter named Jill. Linda and I worked together at NIS in Tampa prior to her having a stroke many years ago. The last time I heard from her was in 2006, she was living in Orange Park Florida. I really miss her and am concerned and would love to get in touch with her. If you or someone in the family can help me get in touch with her that would be great. I really miss her friendship.

Re: John G. Eberhard & fam - Akron, Ohio

2006-02-01 02:14:59Z

WOO HOO! What a thrill to get your response so quickly! If I'm not mistaken, was John J.'s wife's name Emma? (I've just started researching this family, so have been tracing them through the census records.) I received the death certificate for John G (died 1912) and it listed his parents as Frederick and Catherine Miller (supposing it was Mueller).
I would love to exchange information with you (most of what I will be able to supply would be the descendents of Mary/Louisa).
Perhaps you can contact me directly at PIPEL1961@yahoo.com.
Thanks again! I look forward to hearing from you.

Wow' I have looked and looked. Some of the Eberhards also went to OH. Some mirgrated to OR, and some to Kansas.

So far this is what I have found:

John David Eberhard, born August 17, 1802, Beaver Twp, Northumberland Co., PA. He is the son of Phillip Eberhard and Elizabeth Kinsell.

John Eberhard, born December 12, 1780, Penn Twp, Northumberland Co., PA. He died May 25, 1862, in Colon, St. Joseph, MI.

There are many Johns as each generation, kept naming their children John.

I will keep looking.

I descend from Lloyd Elson Eberhard. He was married to Ella Herma Balk. There children were Herman, Kathryn, Elson Edgar, and an unnamed Eberhard. Unnamed Eberhard only lived one month and seven days. Kathryn is my great-grandmother.
Lloyd was buried in Oaklawn Cemetery, Sturgis, St. Joseph Co., Michigan, his wife, Elson, and unnamed were also buried there.
Lloyd's line is : Joseph Wagner Eberhard, Isaac, Jonathan. There are supposidly two more generations before Jonathan, but I don't know who they are yet. Jonathan was born March 23, 1786, Beaver Twp, Nothumberland Co., PA, and died May 23 1873, in Colon, St. Joseph Co., Michigan. He is also buried in the Family cemetery. His wife Sarah Fry is also buried there.
If anyone has information going back from Jonathan, I would greatly appreciate it. I will also share info.

Hi June I have not found anything on Reuben at all. In fact I haven't even tried in a long time. I hit a brick wall as far as he was concerned. I know there is more info out there now and should try again. If you have anything on them I would appreciate it. I am trying to take all of our families back to their home country, but sometimes it just stops and is hard to find the right line to take.
