Notes for Jacob Ebersole and Feronica Mellinger

We are researching Jacob Ebersole, who named daughter Mary, spouse of Christian Stoner, in his 1828 will in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County. There were several Jacob Ebersole families living in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania at overlapping times and the notes below mention documents related to several of them. Several documents (see especially tax of 1820-21) clarify that the will dated in 1828 was likely written by Jacob Ebersole Jr, spouse of Feronica Mellinger and son of Jacob Ebersole Senior, minister. The list of Jacob Ebersole families includes a family with three generations: 1) father Jacob Sr (1724-1785) with wife Frances Veronica and son 2) Jacob Ebersole Jr (1756-1828) with wife Fronica Mellinger and 3) grand son Jacob Mellinger Ebersole. Also 4) Jacob son of Martin Ebersole and spouse of Veronica (daughter of 2). Also 5) Jacob son of Christian [Christian is perhaps a brother of 2]. Also 6) Jacob son of Daniel [Daniel is perhaps a brother of 2]. Also 7) Jacob Ebersole (1715-1790) [1] and 8) Jacob (1753-?), son of 7), with wife Barbara Good, whose relatinship to the others listed is unclear.

1757-59 Fronica Mellinger's birthdate has been reported as October 9, 1757 or as January 15, 1759. [2] [3] [4]

1771 Jacob Eversaal Jr was taxed in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County for 150 acres, 3 horses, and 2 cattle. Jacob Eversole was taxed for 140 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle. [5]

1779 Jacob Eversold was listed three times, once over John crossed out, on the septennial census for Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [12]

1779 The name Jacob Eversole appeared three times on the tax list in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for 100, 200, and 100 acres. There were two listings for John Eversole as a freeman. [13]

1782 The name Jacob Eversole appeared three times on the tax list of Donegal Twp, Lancaster County. An entry with 183 acres has the notation "bigg", an entry with 80 acres has the notation "smith" and the third entry with 267 acres has no modifier. John Eversole with 236 acres was also listed. [14]

1785 Jacob Ebersole was taxed in 1785 in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Also listed were Ebersole John (red), Ebersole Martin, Ebersole Jacob Smith, Ebersole John, and Ebersole Jacob Sen. [15]

1785 Jacob Ebersole, perhaps this one at age about 25-30, was listed in the muster roll of Captain John Bishop's Company in Lancaster County in the spring of 1785. The name appeared twice, as fifth class and as seventh class. [16]

c1785 Jacob Ebersole and Veronica Mellinger were married, perhaps about this time. [17] [18]

1786 John Ebersole, Jacob Ebersole Junior, Martin Ebersole, Jacob Ebersole (smith), John Ebersole, Jacob Ebersole, and Christian Ebersole were listed in the Pennsylvania Septennial census of Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [19]

1786 Three adjacent tracts of land, labeled on this map by the original warranters named Samuel Black and David Gilson and by a symbol of three concentric circles, which was called "Black Oak Ridge", were owned by Jacob Ebersole. The will of Jacob, born 1724 suggests that he owned two of them, at least, before he died. Abraham Stoner settled on the Susquehanna River (next to the letters NN) south of the tracts owned by Jacob Ebersole's family. Their daughter Mary Ebersole came to marry Abraham Stoner's son, Christian Stoner, sometime before 1810.

1790 Three Jacob Eversole households were listed in Donegal Twp in the census. The first one is a reasonable fit for this family and to the 1800 census record.

1790 Jacob Eversole lived in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in a household with 3 males under age 16, 1 males age 16 and over, and 3 females. [23] Nearby listings included John and Christian Longnecker, Jacob Bassler, Martin and Timothy Winter, David and John Coble, and widow and Zachariah Moore.

1795 Benedict Mellinger's will in Manor Twp, Lancaster County was dated September 17, 1794 and named daughter Fronica wife of Jacob Ebersole. [30] [31]

… And all other Money & Effects to me belonging and not herein before particularly bequeathed I order to be divided into four equal parts and one equal fourth part thereof I give and bequeath unto my son Christian Mellinger his heirs & assigns forever. One other equal fourth part thereof I give and bequeath unto my son David Mellinger his heirs & assigns forever.

Jacob's one story stone dwelling, valued at $450, was 30 by 28 feet and had 4 windows with 12 lights on a 1/2 acre lot. Jacob Ebersole had a log barn, 40 by 20 feet, on 145 acres, valued at $1891.50.

This census reported ages consistent with the reported birthdates given by other reserarchers. Mary's birthdate, which was unreported elsewhere, is assumed here to correspond to the female age 10-15. Jacob's likely brother, Martin Ebersole, was listed adjacent. Abraham Stoner, attributed here as daughter Mary's future father-in-law, was listed on the same page, as was John Kauffman. Brothers Christian and John were listed on the prior page. Other nearby listings included Henry Tarr, John Stoutler, Martin Sweigart, Christopher Weaver, Henry Kendig, Adam Weyant, Jacob Brubaker, Michael and Jacob Bosler, and John McClure.

A biosketch [68] reports:

3b Jacob Ebersole, b. about 1760; d. about 1829; m. Fannie Mellinger; d. 1822; m (2) Miss Sonders. He bought off his brothers' interest in 146¾ acres of his father's farm for 1,800 pounds lawful money of Pa. (See deeds Bk. H. A. V. 1, page 285 and A. A. V. 2, page 414 and Be. S. V. 3, page 206 at Record's office in Phila. for Lancaster Co.) Buried in Ebersole Graveyard on Kisser farm.

Mennonite Note card summaries for Jacob Ebersole report similar information to that shown here, except son Jacob's death is reported in 1843. [69]

Jacob's birthyear is uncertain. Article 3 of the Pennsylvania Constitution gave voting rights to freemen over the age of 21, if they had paid taxes for two years prior. [70] [71]

c 1750 If Jacob Ebersole was the Jacob Eversaal Jr on the 1771 tax list, then he might have been born before 1750.

c 1752 If Jacob Ebersole was the freeman on the 1773 tax list, then he might have been age 21 at that time, suggesting that he might have been born about 1752.

c 1757 Heilman suggests that Jacob was born in Donegal Twp circa 1757. [72]

c 1760 Charles E. Ebersol suggests that Jacob Ebersole was born about 1760 in Donegal Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [73]
