Note: JOHN EBERSOHL was raised on his parent's farm in W. Donegal Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. He helped his father with the farming until 29 Jul 1784, at which time JOHN purchased the farm known as "Neverbought" from his father(JACOB). JACOB died the following year.
JOHN EBERSOHL was probably the Gt. Gt. Grandfather that JAW,SR. refers to in his memoirs. "During the Revolutionary War he (JOHN EBERSOLE) said he couldn't shoot anybody, he didn't want a gun, so they gave him a wagon and horses to take goods to the other boys. He liked that since that was his trade."
ELIZABETH BOSSLER EBERSOHL was also probably the Gt.Gt. Grandmother that JAW,SR. refers to as "being in the field plowing and some Revolutionary War soldiers came along and broke one of their single trees, something to hitch horses with to pull the wagon. One of the boys jumped over the fence to take one of her single trees, but she fought with this boy till the officer came and told her that they were from the same party that she is. So she did not hesitate and gave them two instead of one single tree."
JAW,SR. stated in his memoirs that the preceding couple were JOHN B. EBERSOLE and ELIZABETH MOYER . This could not have been, because JOHN B. wasn't born until 1775 and ELIZABETH was born in 1778.
JOHN EBERSOLE died in 1814, at which time his widow, ELIZABETH, petitioned the Lancaster Co. Court (Misc. Book - 1813 - 1816, p. 200) to appoint her son, JACOB EBERSOLE, guardian of his 19 year old brother Daniel and her son, Matthias, guardian of his 16 year old brother John.

Note: Ebersoles originated in the Emmental of the Canton Berne, Switzerland. Various spellings of the name are Aebersold, Eversole, Eversohi, Ebersole, Ebersohl, Ebersol and Eversol. They came to America because of the religious persecution that the Mennonites were experiencing in Germany and Switzerland. JACOB arrived in the port of Philadelphia before 1760. He settled in West Donegal Township, Lancaster County, PA. Several of his relatives from Switzerland had preceded him to America and had settled in Lancaster Co.
In order to obtain land legally the early settlers took out a Warrant (which is also referred to as a Penn Land Grant) on a piece of land. They then paid a yearly quitrent to the Penns for the use of the land. At some point in time they had the land officially surveyed and if they wanted to purchase the land they obtained a Patent on the land. If they did not wish to purchase the land themselves they could sell the land and the purchaser would obtain the Patent.
JACOB EBERSOLE obtained at least three Patents for farm land in West Donegal Twp., Lancaster County, PA. On l June l76O Patent AA1-285 for 366 Acres, which had been warranted
to Samuel Black in 1744; on 25 Sep 1770 Patent AA11-414 for 75 Acres, which had been warranted to Richard Gilston in 1769; and on 8 Sep 1773 Patent AA14-3 for 161 Acres, which had been warranted to David Gilson in 1752.
In 1784 JACOB sold Patent AA14-3, known as "Neverbought," to his son JOHN. It consisted of 161 acres. Deed CC-485.
At JACOB'S death in 1785 his other two tracts of land were inherited by his five sons. In 1787 four of the sons sold their shares of the land to the fifth son, Jacob, Jr.
JACOB'S wife, FRANCES was not mentioned in his Will ( Lancaster Co. Court House, Book E, Vol. 1, p. 244) , so apparently she had predeceased him.
There were numerous Ebersoles living in Donegal Twp. and there are numerous deeds recorded in the Lancaster County Court House under the name of Ebersole. The following deed abstracts possibly refer to our Jacob and Veronica Ebersole -
Survey, Jan. 26, 1761 (Jacob Ebersold)
72 1/2 acres, Survey, Sept. 5, 1770 (Jacob Eversoll) PA Archives, Series III, Vol. XXIV, p. 402, 403
In 1769, John Stouffer, Donegal, sold to John Hertzler and Jacob Ebersole, 200 3/4 acres Deed O-72
In 1774, Abraham and Anna Stauffer, Donegal Twp., sold to Jacob Eversole, Blacksmith. Deed QQ-262
