• Notes

  From Ezra Eby Book Samuel Eby, "(known as "Indian Sam") the second son of George Eby, was born February 20th, 1772, and died February 10th, 1840. He was married to Magdalena Erb who was born February 2nd, 1777, and died December 26th, 1864. In company with his brother, George, and a few others he left Pennsylvania in the spring of 1804 and moved to Canada. He took up north-west part of lot No. 1, German Company's Tract, in the township and county of Waterloo, Ontario. At that time there were but few white settlers in this beautiful county and the Indians were his next neighbors. He spent much of his time among the Indians and taught them many good things, in fact he was their law-giver, minister, interpreter and peace-maker. He had a family of one son.
