Ludwig Ebling had a son named Johann who had a son named Johannes Paulus Ebling, born about 1766. This Johannes Paulus Ebling may have been named after an uncle or cousin who may be my ancestor. Most of use call my 4th great grandfather John Paul Epling but he signed his will in Giles Co., Va. in 1809, "Paul Ebling," and some believe he arrived in Virginia from Pennsylvania. He would have been born probably sometime in the 1740s and he first appeared in Virginia using the alias John Miller in 1782. I'm trying to find information on other children of Ludwig Ebling to see if there is a connection.
