Page 42: details of my Eckler becoming Hyser |
The most recent Eckler in my ancestry was Catharine Eckler, born in 1830 in Catskill, Greene County, New York. Her mother was Maria Layman. The Layman family, also spelled Lehman, had many intermarriages with the Ecklers. Catharine's parents were cousins to each other. Her mother's great grandfather was her father's grandfather, Adrew Eckler, born in 1732. This is an especially interesting line to me because it represents my father's direct maternal line. Ten generations back from my father, all on his direct maternal line, are in this book, to Anna Maria Kieffer, born about 1700.
Great job, Paul!
