"Christian Metzger, founder of an American family, 1682-1942, with his ancestors back to 1542 and a who's who of living descendants, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth generations," by Milligan, Ella Metsker, 1864- (Ann Arbor, MI: Edwards Brothers, Inc.), pp. 102-104: "(From the first pages of "A History of the Heinrich Eberly Family"
published in 1927 by Rev. E. Elmer Sensenig, Historian, 399 East Hamilton Street, Allentown, Penna.)
The First Eberly Family
According to the Colonial Records, (Penna. Arch.) Vol. iii, page 301, "At a Council held in the Court House in Philadelphia, Pa., on September 27th, 1727, a list was presented to the Board of the names of 53 palatinate families, making in all about 200 persons, who were imported into the province in the ship JAMES GOODWILL, Mr. David Crockett, the Master, who sailed from Rotterdam, but
last from Falmouth, as by the Masters affidavit signed by the officers of the Customs there. It appears from the inquiry that the Master had no particular license for transportation. They were then called in and the names of the several persons whose names are subjoined did repeat and sign the declaration inserted in the preceding minutes. Among them was one Hendrick Aberlee.
This name in I. Daniel Rupp's 30,000 Names of Immigrants, page 51, is given by him as "Heinrich Eberle," Mr. Rupp is a very able scholar and excellent interpreter of the German script and there is no doubt but that his translation is the correct one.
No doubt the ship arrived on Sept. 17th, but that the record was not made until the convening of the Council ten days later.
Mrs. Veronica Ulrich Eberly
The persons with which this history deals are the descendants of Heinrich Eberly and his wife, nee Veronica Ulrich, who were born in Switzerland, then dwelt for a while in the Palatinate on the Rhine, in Germany, from whence they came to America. It is said, that Heinrich, the father, returned to his home for something, and while he was absent, the boat sailed away, and he was left behind. There was nothing heard from him after that. The mother and her six children landed in Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 17th, 1727. Her oldest son Jacob, born in 1715, was only 12 years of age, while the youngest child, a son, Ulrich, was but one year old.
The mother with her six children wandered westward, with some of the immigrants, who came over on the same ship, and finally settled in a little hamlet, then known according to tradition as Hickory-town, where the present city of Lancaster now is located. At that time an Indian Wigwam was located there. A hickory tree stood in its centre not far from a spring. Under this tree the councils met and it was from one of these that a deputation was sent to confer
with William Penn at Shackamaxon in 1683. The Indian Nation residing there was called Hickory, and the town was called Hickory-town before Lancaster was laid out in 1732. "Gibson, the tavern keeper, had a Hickory tree painted upon his sign, this was about 1722. His tavern was situated near where Slaymaker's Hotel was for many years, now occupied by the Hon. Benjamin Champneys on East King Street." (See Rupp's History of Lancaster Co, page 135, dated 1645).
The name of Lancaster was given to the town stead by John Wright, in honor of his home town in Lancashire, England. The place where mother Eberly then resided is now known as North Queen Street.
A few years later, she bought a tract of land, about a mile square, what is now known as Durlach, in the northern part of Lancaster County, along the south side of the Black Ridge of the South Mountains, and about 5 miles north of Ephrata. This was then a part of
Chester County. Lancaster County had not yet been formed. To this place she moved with her four sons and two daughters, and her scanty household furniture was unloaded under a big white oak tree, near
a spring, which still marks the spot.
Their nearest neighbors were the Indians, a little Indian Village
about 2 miles southeast, and for a long time known as Indiantown.
The Indians seemed to take compassion upon the lonely mother with her six small children, and gave them the very best of treatment. They built a small house on the farm and also a small barn. Then her children grew up. Her son Jacob married and took charge of the farm, and mother Eberly lived with them, until she passed to her reward.
By this time the white people settled very fast in this section, and the Indians moved westward, to Donegal Township, Lancaster County, because that section afforded better hunting grounds, besides they could easily sell their grounds to the thrifty settlers who pressed in on them.
The Indians were always good to the Eberly family, and in after years when the second Jacob (born 1751) was farming the old farm,
the Indians had a funeral and they came and invited Jacob Eberly, the second, to attend the funeral, so they all made ready and went along. The Indians carried their Indian Chief, all the way from Donegal to Indiantown, a distance of over 55 miles, they skinned the bark from the trees, and laid their chief between two big barks. They then made a grave and laid their chief in it, shooting arrows across the grave, then they had wine, and they all took a drink, and they started for their home. As far as is known, this was the
last time that the Indians were seen in this section of the county.
When old mother Eberly lived with Jacob, the first, money was very scarce, and the nearest store was in the village of Lancaster, more than 16 miles away. So it happened that Jacob ho.d to go to town one day, the aged mother gave him a half-shilling, sometimes called a "levy," worth about 12 cents, to bring some molasses along for her; she had tasted no molasses for a very long time. The mother was exceedingly anxious that her son should bring some along for her, so that she might taste molasses again. But her son Jacob, instead of buying molasses, bought e cow bell, for they hed been accustomed to have the cows in the woods and woodlands, and could find them better of they had a bell attached to them. When Jacob came close to the home, he rang this cow bell, then the old mother cried bitterly because she was so disappointed, she being so hungry for molasses, and after all received none.
As a memorial to his sainted mother, when Jacob built a new house on the farm in 1751, he placed the bell into the north gable end of the kitchen for a bird house, end there it remained until 1876, when Elias H. Eberly, (the son of Joseph, the son of Jacob, the second, who was born in the year 1751, the year in which the house was built) the father of the writer and the grandfather of the Historian, remodelled the house and raised the kitchen, and the bell was removed and was in the writer's possession until 1894, when it happened to drop to the floor and broke. The writer considers it a great loss to the Eberly Family.
