Biography

Great-grandfather of Father of Dwight Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States

His full name appears to have been Jacob Frederick Eisenhower (sometimes spelled Eisenhauer). He appears on various records as Jacob F., Frederick, or Fred, and once (in 1860 U.S. Census) as Frederic.

Frederick Jacob was named for an older brother that was killed in 1777 in the Revolution.

Donna Endorf Londeen's FindAGrave entry says that he was a farmer and weavre of bedspreads. He is listed in the 1860 U.S. Census as a "gentleman".

He was born in Linglestown, P. He is one of the sons of Johann Peter Eisenhauer.[1][2]

Research Notes

His birthdate is 40 years later than his siblings.

I finally found Peter Eisenhauer's will, and it 100% confirms that his last son Frederick was indeed born when he was around 72.

It's a widely accepted idea. I don't know how good the primary sources for it really are though.

Yikes....his father was 72 when he was born? Do we have this correct?
posted by Robin Lee
Eisenhower-71 and Eisenhower-29 appear to represent the same person because: same death, similar birth, same wife
posted by Robin Lee
Eisenhauer-357 and Eisenhower-29 appear to represent the same person because: LNAB according to Gary Boyd Robert's research in official Presidential Genealogical Books is EISENHOWER for this generation.

I am sure yours is correct too . I will look around . It's so amazing how this line is done so nicely !

I wonder if he married twice ? I show a Maria Susanna Dissinger as his wife ? Pg. 131 . source : Roberts, Gary Boyd., Christopher Challender Child, and Julie Helen. Otto. Ancestors of American Presidents. Boston, MA: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2009. Print.
