Researcher Dale Schaadt (Schott) searched for records of Johann Ludwig Schafer's immigration to America. He found what might be a match on the ship "Martha," which sailed from Bremen and arrived in Baltimore on 12 Jun 1849. Passenger #177 was Johann Schafer, a laborer from Hessen (no village name was given). Because the name "Johann Schafer" is so common, one cannot be 100% sure that this is the correct person, but all the data fit, and no other Johann Schafer has been found that matches the criteria. More about the Schafer Research can be found in Dale Schaat's book, "The German Beginning of Fulda Ohio."
Descendant Lee Crock believes that John L. Schafer served in the Civil War. Dates of service are not known, although he had four children at the outset of the war, and two who were born during the war.
In 1870, 43 year old farmer John Schafer lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife.

The relationship (if any) between Maria Anna, Elizabeth, and Michael Blake/Block is unknown. Maria Anna and Elizabeth may have been sisters, since their fathers had the same name.
At the time of the 1850 census, 41 year old farmer Francis Abbet lived in Enoch Twp., Monroe County, Ohio with his wife Margaret (41) and children Barbary (no age), Mary (12), Catherine (10), Elizabeth (7), Rachel (5), Margaret (3), and John (1).

(The Baily household has the same "visit number" (241-241) in the census as the Ebert household.)
In 1870, 61 year old Francis Ebert lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Mary (60) and daughters Margaret (23) and Theresa (18). Francis Ebert's occupation is listed as "supported by son-in-law." Francis and Mary were both born in Hesse Cassel. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to John Saling and Franz Ebert's son-in-law, Francis Estadt.
In June 1880, "W. Francis Ebbot" (71) and his wife Mariana (70) lived alone on their farm in Enoch Twp. Neighboring farms in census were those of John Schott and son-in-law Florian Estadt.
When Francis and Mary got older and could no longer care for themselves, their house was torn down. The lumber from their home was used to add a room to the home of their daughter, Rachel Ebert Estadt. Francis and Mary lived with Rachel's family until their deaths.
According to the Caldwell Citizens' Press (10 Feb 1881):
Frank Ebert has sold his farm to [son-in-law] Frank Testaid [Estadt] for
$1900 Mrs. Schneider who lives on the farm now will move to Pittsburgh

Gustav Ehlerman immigrated to the United States in 1866. He arrived in Enoch Township, Noble County, Ohio in 1867 or 1868 and took a job in Sebastian Hohman's store.
In 1870, 22 year old Gustav Erlinman worked for his future father-in-law, Sebastian Hohman, and was enumerated in his household along with several other workers. Gustav worked in Sebastian's grocery and dry goods store.
As a result of some poor speculation and mismanagment, Sebastian Hohman ran up debts of $146,000. His son-in-law Gustav Ehlerman purchased the store and turned it into a prosperous business. Ehlerman also opened a suscessful wool and tobacco warehouse. The business packed 200 to 300 hogshead of tobacco per year and about 80,000 pounds of tobacco. (Source: Schockling)
