• Who is this man? (320 KB)
  I have attached a copy of the photo, full picture taken in Mt Joy, Pa and I am inclined to think that this picture is of John H Eby b/1841, married Leah Reese b/1852 and from the writing, it appears that it was sent to an Elizabeth Eby who was his first daughter b/1871 and married my great grandfather John E Hoover. I came upon the picture from a member of the Hoover family, thus my feeling for the above info. (see other photo - Who is this man - back)
• George Ebey pottery (81 KB)
  "There were many potteries operating in Scott County. The Ebeys were among the first and best and continued until at least 1890. In the spring of 1834, George Ebey, with a new wife, moved to Winchester. There, with Thomas Kilpatrick he bought the Robert Harrison pottery in the center of town. After a few years they moved one mile northeast of town and started producing stoneware. In 1855, George Ebey's fame grew as he experimented with drainage tile to convert wet and swampy tracts into productive farm land. Further, the tile kept wet roads passable. In the Civil War, Ebey rented out the business and sent thirteen men (sons, sons-in-laws, hired men, and apprentices) to fight for the Union cause."

• Jacob Eby clock (415 KB)
  Jacob Eby the clockmaker was my great-great-great-grandfather on my paternal side. We think the clock was made circa 1820, but are not absolutely certain of the date. The clock has been passed down in our family from Jacob Eby and eventually to us. Jacob Eby had a daughter, Eliza, who had a son, John Wesley Myers, who had a daughter, Theodosia Myers, who had a son, Frederick Terry, Jr., my father. It made its way through the years from Pennsylvania to Columbus, Ohio to Toledo, Ohio where I remember it in my grandmother's large house. When she sold the house, the clock moved in with us in Maumee, Ohio, a suburb of Toledo. After my father died, my brother and his wife moved the clock to their house in Michigan where it is now. It still keeps accurate time and strikes on the hour.on the face of the clock, under the 12, is written - Jacob Eby, Manheim. The clock is in my brother's house in Bath, Michigan.
