Johannes " Jakob" Evelsheimer

Generation No. 1

1. Johannes " Jakob"2 Evelsheimer (Unknown1 Evilsheimer) was born Abt. 1759 in GER? Berks Co,PA?, and died Aft. 1830 in Lewis Co.,KY?. He married (1) Anna Elizabeth Abt. 1776. She died Bef. 1830. He married (2) Martha Mackey Nov 25, 1830 in Lewis Co.,KY, daughter of John Mackey. She was born Bef. 1810.

Notes for Johannes " Jakob" Evelsheimer:
German naming patterns indicate this is Jacob, as the middle name was the name commonly used.

For many years, we relished the idea that Ol` Jakob was a Hessian Soldier from Germany, coming to America to fight in the Revolutionary War, paroled to a farmer, working his way to become a land-holder and start his new life and family in America.

All of the facts lead us back to Germany where Jakob Uebelshaeuser was returned as an invalid, married, had children, and died in Germany. His brother/cousin, Johannes, was returned to Germany at the same time. A Hessian by the name of Nicolas was found "deserted to the enemy", Oct 1777. If Nicholas assumed the name of Jacob and really is our ancestor, we shall never know. But facts show Jakob was taxed in 1778 in Exeter , Twp, Berks Co. PA, so we would assume this would not be the Hessian since he was repatriated to Germany. The theory of the Hessian Soldier has died and been put to rest.

We are continuing the search, following new leads every day, so that we can find the true "roots" of Ol` Jacob.
Read about the facts, theories, professional research results, and tall tales.

The first mention of Jacob is in 1778, Berks Co, Pennsylvania on the tax list as Jacob Evelsheimer. The name is spelled in this similar manner for marriage certificates, birth records, and court records. Until as such time there is some kind of proof to a connection the the Hessian Uebelschausser, our ancestry shall remain as I have him here. We can follow Jacob from the 1784 Berks Co, PA Tax list to Rockingham Co, VA in 1788 where he had a militia voucher. In 1789 he gave up his children to overseers of the poor. He did not give up Jacob Jr, his name sake. Jacob disappears for many years, maybe going off to find a new wife and start someplace new. For whatever reason, he ends up back in Rockingham Co, VA in 1804 on the personal Tax List. Sometime in the early 1790's he starts a new family, as more children are born. Living also in Rockingham Co, VA in 1807 are George and Adam Evilsizer. Birthdates, marriages, and census records verify that George and Adam are NOT children of Jacob. George and Adam go to Harrison County Indiana about 1815. Read the chronological order of events in the life of Ol Jakob.

I have found many web sites that incorrectly show Adam (c1777-1821) and George (1784- 1864)as children of Jacob. Facts to disprove this are the 1784 Berks Co, Pa Census showing 6 members in the household. All children in this household have proven birth records from Berks Co, PA., also birth places in the census of both Adam and George say Virginia. Jacob did not get to Rockingham Co, VA until 1788, probably following his brother there. These sons also do not appear in the 1810 Census of Rockingham Co, as only Joshua and Phillip (proven children of Jacob by marriage consent records) appear in this census. Also, in 1789 when Jacob gave his children to the overseers of the poor, George and Adam were not mentioned. I strongly suspect the father of Adam and George died. It is only coincidence Jacob, Adam, and George appear in the 1807 Personal Property Tax List of Rockingham Co. Just goes to show you can never assume......

2 i. Henry3 Evilsizer, Sr., born Abt. 1777 in PA; died Bef. Nov 12, 1848 in Champaign Co, OH. He married Elizabeth "Betsy" Idle Nov 06, 1798 in Botetourt Co, VA (Source: Marriage Record); born Jul 10, 1784 in Berks Co, VA (Source: Bible Records-Books, St Paul's Lutheran Reformed Church.); died Sep 06, 1843 in Champaign Co, OH.

Notes for Henry Evilsizer, Sr.:
Henry Evilsizer was bound to a Henry Culp and a Henry Culp is listed as a single man in Tinicum Twp 1775, Bucks Co. PA

In the cemetery book it lists Henry as dying in 1846 and gives his age as 65 years. That would make him born in approx. 1781. Does not seem to be correct because Marriage in 1798 did not need permission.

Notes for Elizabeth "Betsy" Idle:

Today was a long day but it was somewhat productive for all of us Evilsizors. Flossie received a book from Pat Stickley of Burial places in Champaign County. This book was compiled by Caroline R. Nixon and Emma Nixon Bolton in 1936. It states that Henry and Elizabeth Evilsizor were buried in the Wells Cemetery on Elm Tree Road near Fletcher, Champaign County, Ohio. We had heard this before but could never find their tombstones. Alas, today we found the stone of Elizabeth. The writing on the stone is as follows; Elizabeth wife of Henry Evelsizor
( note the spelling) Died Sept.6 1843 aged 57 years. We did not, however, find a stone for Henry. I dug next to Elizabeths stone, on the left, and found lots of pieces of what looked like slate, but no writing. We will look for an obit now that we know her death date.

The Alstott/Altstatt/Alstot families seemed to be a close knit bunch, and moved back and forth between Indiana - Tennessee - Virginia until the 1820s. Although Rease Allstot was born in Tennessee, he served in the war of 1812 as a private in the Virginia infantry. It was in Virginia that he met and married Elizabeth Evilsizer, who was a daughter of Jacob Evilsizer. Jacob's mark (x) is on the marriage license of Reas and Elizabeth, dated November 1, 1815.
