Thanks for the info. This must be my family! How can this document be
accessed?

My GGGG-Grandmother was Margaret Williard, married to Jacob Eller (Sr). She
was the daughter of Johann Elias Williard and Rosina Gump. Margaret died in
1821. She must be the "Margaret Eller" in the list of the 13 children. The
names of her siblings are repeated among Margaret's children and
grandchildren.

Margaret's husband Jacob was the son of Henry Eller and Elizabeth Bigler.

Interesting to see the Coones name in there. Margaret's great-grandson
Elias Eller married Emma Coons (my great-grandparents).

The name Elias pops up every couple of generations. In fact my 2-year-old
grandson is Elias, just like his GGG-Grandfather. So the name goes back to
the 1700's. Cool!

The early Eller family was Church of the Brethren, as I believe were the
Biglers and Gumps. They were also known as "Dunkers" or "Dunkards." Is
there a possibility that "Drunkards not Mistaken" is a misreading of
"Dunkards not Mistaken"?

Hey, I'd love to know more about this gold mine!
