Biography

Travelled with her husband and children from Pennsylvania to Upper Canada in 1806 to settle near what is now Doon, Ontario.

Christian Erb Gravestone Project
In 1806, four of John’s siblings, namely Elizabeth, Mary, Abraham and Jacob came to Canada with their spouses. Elizabeth and Mary were married to the Schneider brothers. Elizabeth and Christian settled in Doon while Mary and Jacob (known as Yoch) settled in the Bloomingdale area. Christian and Jacob were brothers of Joseph Schneider whose house in Kitchener is now the Schneider Haus museum.

I just removed myself as profile manager - so you should be able to take over - happy hunting!

Hello Mr. Maxey. There are some problems with the biography for this profile. A quick example is the statement "they had four children" while several more than that are listed. I would be quite willing to take over as Profile Manager so I can add some more accurate information and sources to the wife of my Great Uncle if you would be willing to give me that honour.
