Notes

  • Note*: The evidence for an Adam Epler is confusing. The census below shows two men. But the second deed suggests that the Adam Epler of Northumberland Co. (formed from Northampton Co.) was the son of John Ebler and Anna Barbara.
    Adam Epler of Macungy Township and Margaret his wife appear in more Berks Co. deeds.
    No probate was found. No FindAGrave was found.

    On 15 Nov 1770 Adam Epler of Macungy Township Northampton County miller and Margaret his wife granted to Jacob Ebler of Bern Twp., in consideration of 10 pounds two lots in the town of Reading Numbers 8 and 56.
