Will: Will of Jacob Eib dated 17 Dec 1825 does not mention his wife, Catharina or any other wife.  Does list his children and some of his grandchildren.  I would think that Catharina Eib died before this will was written.  Will recorded in BK No.4, Pg 421, at January term of County Court, 1832..Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia).

ZIMMERMAN, Henry (Carpenter), the progenitor of the numerous Carpenter family of Lancaster county, was a native of the canton of Berne, in Switzerland, and emigrated to this country about 1710.  According to an old order of William Penn, the names of all persons to whom grants of land were made were Anglicised, and hence the name was changed to that of Carpenter.  Henry Zimmerman was allowed to take possession of several hundred acres of land, provided he went sixty miles west of Philadelphia.  The cause of his emigration was repugnance to persecution, and being a member of the German Reformed church his friends desired to force him to unite with those of their opinions in persecuting others.  This did not seem to him as accordant with the spirit of christianity, and to escape this he resolved upon coming to America.  To detain him his friends meditated seizing his wife, and thus they thought to prevent his going.  She, however, resolved to follow her husband.  He accordingly, in secret, obtained a small boat and fixed it upon the shore of the lake of the four cantons.  They awaited a favorable opportunity, and finally left their home to escape, by means of the boat, forever from the land of their birth.  Henry armed himself, and not in vain, with a sabre, for they were attacked on the road by four hussars, who wished to prevent their departure.  Tracition says, with Salome clinging to her husband for protection, he successfully combated his four assailants, and succeeded in escaping, both himself and wife, in their little boat, to a more hospitable shore.  Henry Zimmerman was a carpenter by trade, and going from Switzerland to England on his way to America, he was presented with a large auger and other tools by Queen Anne, to enable him to carry on his trade in America.

Hi Mary & Jane,
      I'm sending the following story as this Henry Zimmerman (Carpenter) may tie into our Carpenters from
Penn...What those people had to do for religious liberty is amazing.
