Jacob ELLER^{[1, 2]}

1758 - 1830  (~ 72 years)

• Name	Jacob ELLER  [4]
  	Some researchers have incorrectly shown this Jacob Eller (abt 1758-1830) married to Magdalena PETERS. In fact, it is Jacob's GRANDSON Jacob Eller (1823-1907) who marries Magdalena Peters in 1850, about 20 years after the death of the older Jacob Eller. A Magdalene [with the unknown last name] (1761- ) married the senior Jacob Eller in 1777-8 in Maryland (in the U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900). Jacob Eller (1823-1907), the grandson, married Magdalena PETERS on 5 Aug 1850 in Franklin County, VA. (in the Franklin County, Virginia, Marriage Bond Index, 1786-1858). [3]
  Born	About 1758
  	His place of birth is hotly debated. Some believe him to be a son of George Michael Eller and born in the American Colonies, probably Maryland. However, his descendants strongly believe he is an immigrant and NOT the son of George Michael. They cite several oral traditions that he was a German immigrant. There is no conclusive proof either way. [5]
