About Paulus Everhart
He was born in 1727 in Hessheim, Paltz, Germany.
He arrived in America on October 20, 1744 as a young man of 17 on the ship "Phoenix" under Capt. William Wilson's direction across the Atlantic from the port of Rotterdam. The ship docked in Philadelphia.
At the time of this immigration he already had a young family back in Germany, a daughter named Gertrude (Hakrood) and his wife, Anna. Paulus wanted to make a new home for his family in this new America, in the area of Pennsylvania.
He was in the area of Germantown when he sent for his family in 1745. The first child of his family born in America was George Everhart on August 11, 1745. Two other daughters were born during the late 1740s.
He lived there eight years before moving on toward North Carolina. Along the way he was in MacAlisterville (Hanover, PA). when he heard there was a great deal of land available 10 miles south of Hanover, PA and three miles NW of Manchester, MD. The area was known as Bachman's Valley.
By 1750 Paulus had purchased 300 acres of land in Bachman's Valley (what is Carroll County now) in Maryland. He found a good source of water in a nearby spring and that is where he first built a small house and later a much larger home for his family. He worked the land as a farmer and made a good living from it. Paulus died before May of 1765 and the responsibilty for the land was turned over to his son, George, the first born in America of this Everhart branch.
