Census records
- Census, United States, Pennsylvania, Lancaster County, 1820 for Elizabeth, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania with an Abraham Eby. This is the incorrect one. I am including this census as a means of elimination.
- Census, United States, Pennsylvania, Lancaster County, Warwick Township, 1830 with Abraham Eby as the head of household. I believe I have the correct 1840 US Census; however, no township is indicated. I lose track of him prior to 1830 and in the 1850 US Census. He shows up in 1860 living two houses from David Eby and his family. With Abraham is his daughter Mary Eby.
- Census, United States, Pennsylvania, Lancaster County, Warwick Township, 1850 for David Eby in Ephrata, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Next door to him is Jacob Eby. Jacob Eby is age 59 and David is age 26. I wonder if they are father and son or some other connection?

Charts
- Incomplete family group sheet on Abraham Eby and David Eby. In the estate papers of Abraham Eby, there is a son David Eby listed. Other children include Catherine (William) Fox and Mary Eby. There is a granddaughter listed as Fyanna/Fianna (Abraham) Martin. I am not sure how this granddaughter ties in with the family.
Probate Court records
