Biography

Theresa (Fridman) Ebaugh migrated from Baden to United States.

On 16 June 1834 the barque L. Eviline sailed into the Port of Baltimore, 108 German immigrants her passengers.^[1] Among the passengers was 29 year old Theresa (Fridman) Ebaugh, traveling with her husband Joseph, her daughters Louisa born in 1829, and Theresa in 1830,^[2] as well as her sister Elizabeth Fridman and brothers Franklin and Mathias Fridman^[3] The Ebaughs and Fridmans left the Baden region of Germany for a new life in the New World. In only a month or so the group of Ebaughs and Fridmans traveled from Baltimore to Wheeling to Cincinnati to Louisville until stopping and breaking up in Indiana.^[4] The Ebaughs settled on land in the northeast portion of Jackson Township, Jackson, Indiana, near Mutton Creek.^[5]

Theresa was born January, 1805 in Stollhofen, Baden, Germany,^[6] a daughter of George and Elizabeth (Miller) Fridman. Theresa and Joseph married in 1828 and they would have two daughters before emigrating, Louisa and Theresa. The couple have two more children in America. Leonard was born in 1834 (Theresa was likely pregnant during the the voyage of L. Eviline), with Henry following in 1835. Theresa only survived a few years in America. She dies in 1838, her only record in America beyond immigration records being a paragraph in the obituary of a son of Joseph and the woman he remarried after Theresa's death.^[6]

Research Notes

• The two Passenger Lists records come from entirely separate documents. They are both pages from handwritten lists, but have slight differences in the data that they capture.
• Yes, it is really strange that George M. Ebaugh's obituary would have detailed information on his father's deceased first wife, while virtually ignoring his own mother.
