General Notes: Husband - Dewalt Bonebrake




He was a soldier of the Revolution and served in the campaign around Philadelphia in 1777. He was an educated man and taught his children in the German tongue. He was not only a farmer and teacher but was skilled as a worker in metals. He frequently worked on his farm all day and at his trade of a blacksmith in the evening. He removed to Ohio in 1800. Going down the Ohio River in a flat boat to the mouth of the Hocking river, and up the Hocking, he landed at Athens, Athens County. He settled near a village later called Hibbardsville, where he remained about seven years, when he removed to Preble County, and settled near Eaton. He was brought up in the German Reformed Church, but shortly after his settlement in Preble County, he united with the United Brethren in Christ.

Lewis D. Bonebrake, Commissioner of Education of Ohio [1905] was his great-grandson.
