Notes for DAVID DAVIS EBI(3):
We, the authors of the Eby Report, have long sought the correct relationship of the man known as David Davies Ebi. As genealogists and researchers we have never doubted his existence, only his generation in relation to the other Ebys in America and his ancestry. Historians have given the date of birth as Jan. 1, 1742 which is taken from the tombstone in the Nimishillen Cemetery in Stark County, Ohio. It is possible that David Davies Ebi, Sr. was a descendant of Heinrich Eby who immigrated to America in 1732, we know very little of this individual. Or he might even be from the family of Jacob Eby(3), son of Andreas Eby(2), who we have just added to the family. We still know of no documentary evidence to connect this family with the Ebys of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. - Groff Vol II/1

When but a young man he left home and went to Virginia, where he sojourned until the commencement of the Revolutionary War, in which he enlisted and remained a soldier until the war closed and the Independence of the Thirteen Colonies was established. After the close of the war he settled in Virginia. To whom he was married was not ascertained, but it is known that in the year 1807 two of his sons settled in Stark County, Ohio, to which place he followed them a few years later. He settled down near his sons and resided there until his death, which took place in 1823. This famous champion of Independence attained unto the advanced age of 81 year.
