FIFTH GENERATION
11. George Michael ELLER
(1) was born on 1 Aug 1723 in Near Hamburg,
Germany. He died on 25 Aug 1778 in Frederick County, Maryland. George Michael
Eller probably arrived on the ship Phoenix in 1743 (the other strong possibility
is the "Saint Andrew") and is believed to be the fourth oldest of the
Eller brothers/cousins.
His children moved from the original American home in Germantown (near
Philadelphia), Pennsylvania to the south, first to Maryland, then primarily to
Wilkes and Ashe Counties, North Carolina.
Considerable published information is available on George Michael Eller,
largely as a result of the book "George Michael Eller and Descendants of
his in America," compiled by James W. Hook (Published in New Haven, Conn.
Oct. 15, 1957). A number of conclusions in the book have proven to be incorrect,
but it remains the definitive work on George Michael.
He was married to UNKNOWN. He was married to Eva Maria
