Notes for Ulrick Eymann
[master2.FTW]
From CARD FILE LIBRARY, HEIMATSTELLE PFALZ, KAISERSLAUTERN, GERMANY, Torsten Eymann reports that there was one other Eymann who came to America before this Ulrick. He was Jacob, b. 17 July 1725 near Wissembourg, Alsace, who came to America on the ship "St. Andrew" arriving in Philadelphia 9 Sept. 1749. We find many of his progeny in Pennsylvania mixed in with the other Eymans who are in a direct line. Since Jacob's children and Ulrick's children used many of the same given names, it makes very careful examination of the data to be sure we have the right individuals.
Our Ulrick was born around 1698 in Lohmuhle, Palatinate, Germany and died in 1765 in Lancaster County, PA. He married first Maria Fuchs and had at least 4 children by her before her death in 1757. On April 24, 1757 he married the second time to Maria Agatha Essig, the daughter of the village mayor. To this marriage was born Johann Heinrich Eymann on 26 Oct. 1758. In America this Henry was known as Henry Iman, Sr. and married Mary Sager, 3 June 1783.
Ulrich, according to German church records was known as "a diligent farmer and trustworthy man." According to a guardian of the church, Ulrich wanted to buy a large farm in 1762, but this transaction did not come to pass because his wife, Maria Agatha, was not entirely satisfied with the purchase. She feared that her husband, through the acquisition of this new land might sink too far into debt.
It was just 2 years later, in 1764, that Ulrich, his wife, and possibly several grandchildren sailed for America, arriving in Philadelphia on 27 Oct. 1764, on the ship "Hero." He was carried on the ship's manifest as Ulrich Eymaunn. Did he come to America because of frustration over the land deal that did not take place? Certainly if they had bought a large farm in Germany they wouldn't have been nearly as willing to uproot themselves and embark on such a momentous adventure as moving across the ocean to an unknown country.
Ulrich died shortly after arriving in America. He and his wife Maria are buried on the farm of Martin B. Mylin, the registered owner of the property in 1958. Also in the same plot are Christian Eyman, Sr., Christian Eyman, Jr. and his wife and a daughter, Maria.[leyda.FTW]
