  • Notes 
    • Anna Eby, "the fourth daughter and the eighth member of the family of Christian and Catharine (Bricker) Eby, was born September 9th, 1777, and died April 25th, 1829. On March 25th, 1800, she was married to Jacob Wissler who was born on the old "Wissler Homestead" on Middle Creek, Clay Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He lived and died on the old homestead. In his old age he built a one-story brick house for himself and his daughter, Catharine. This building adjoined the house-yard of the old homestead. Both he and his wife lie buried at the Hammar Creek Mennonite Meeting House, nearly two miles west of their home. Jacob Wissler was born November 12th, 1776, and died April 27th, 1853. They had a family of ten children, namely: Andrew, Jacob, Christian, Magdalena, Ezra, John, Catharine, Mary, Levi, and Sem. (See Sem Wissler's family). All the descendents of this family have settled in different parts of the United States with the exception of Sem, the youngest, who settled in Salem, Ontario, where his family still resides."
