• Notes

  Her maiden name is unknown. Some have given her maiden name as Engelmann or Gernand, but no sources were given to confirm this (marriage records or death records). She was most likely born in or around the village of Undenheim, Rheinhessen region, which is now located in Germany. She married sometime before 1725 to Ludwig Ebeling, he was born in September, 1699 (he was christened on 20 September 1699 at the Reformed Church of Undenheim). She and her husband had at least 3 children that we know of: 1.) Johannes, born 20 Aug 1725 in or around Undenheim. 2.) Johann Lorentz, born 14 Mar 1727 in or around Undenheim. 3.) Maria Margartha, born about 1729 in Germany. Maria Barbara and her husband and possibly others of the family came to America on 16 Sep 1748. When Ludwig Ebeling came to America on the ship "Patience" on Sept. 16, 1748 (age 49), his name is recorded as "Lodwk. Abling". On these early ships list usually only recorded the name and age; sometimes only the male head of household was recorded. When Ludwig took the oath to the government on the same day at the courthouse in Philadelphia, his name on the oath list was "Ludwig Eberling". Also in 1748 he was found on a tax list in Philadelphia, under the name "Lodwick Abling". We do not know for sure where or when Ludwick Ebeling died, but his wife Maria Barbara died on 17 March 1785, in Alsace Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania (have also seen her death date as 19 March 1785). She was buried in the private burial ground known as the Ebling Cemetery near Temple, in Berks County. After Johannes Ebling's son-in-law (Wendel Bernhart/Bernhardt) bought the plantation and cemetery, it was called the Bernhardt Cemetery. The cemetery was removed in 1925 to the Hinnershitz Cemetery about 5 miles north of Reading, PA. Hinnershitz Cemetery is located at 160 Tuckerton Road, this cemetery is also known as Good Shepherd Church Cemetery. It is believed that the headstone for Maria Barbara apparently was destroyed prior to or during the move to Hinnershitz.
