Chronological Record

Archives du Pontiac Archives says that 'Judd family papers' give birth 1780

headstone says  1780-1873

Martin Ebert found in Philemon Wright's first account book in 1806, so he was
in Canada by 1806
 (check other names from the account book, maybe there are other people who came with Martin Ebert-may be the only way to 'prove' where Martin Ebert came from)

The Family History and Account Books of Philemon Wright by Diane Proc
Philemon Wright from Woburn Massachusetts made several trips to Hull Township and then settled in the area that became known as Wright's Town and later Hull. Several of Wright's employees and their families accompanied him. Wright recorded his business transactions in a series of account books. The names found in Wright's first account book (1801 to 1809) are listed chronologically, with transaction dates and page numbers. About 150 entries are listed. The list is an informal directory of early Hull settlers. The account books provide information about the sort of items the settlers needed, for example, cloth, thread, writing paper by the sheet, salt, sugar, and kitchen utensils. Tobacco and spirits were popular purchases. Other entries are for work completed, such as threshing or fanning hemp seed and mill work.

  1. Hello; I too am descended from Martin Ebert and Roxy Waller (their daughter Elizabeth Catherine m. James Cornelius Murphy). My ancestry.ca search shows Martin is descended from German relations who were chosen by William Penn to settle southern Pennsylvania. Are you on ancestry.ca? Have you looked? Regards, Penelope Gardner
