"INDIAN EVE" GRAVE

"INDIAN EVE"

Eva Catharina. ?????

Eve's husband was Adam Henry Ernst / Earnest - born 1735-1740 - died Sept. 1777 (killed by Indians).

Who was Indian Eve??

Up until just recently, Eve was assumed to be a granddaughter of Wilhelm Imler / Emler born about 1678
in Baveria, Germany (Town of Emler/Rhine River). Wilhelm's son George Mark Imler / Embler born about 1705 in Bavaria, Germany was assumed to be Eve's father.

New evidence indicates that Eva Catharina may have been the daughter of Jorg Adam Hillebard/Hellebart.

If you have evidence that will help resolve this uncertainty, please feel free to present it here.
