• Notes

  From Larry Palmer Palmer/Mennega Heirlines tree on ancestry.com (2014): Elizabeth, born about 1758, a descendant of German immigrants on both sides of her family, married into the Winder/Sherwood family of English descent. It is very unlikely that Elizabeth was born in 1747 in Redstone Township, Pennsylvania, as some have claimed. Her mother Hannah would have been 14 years old and they would have been deep in Indian country. The natives would have been very upset because Pennsylvania did not purchase this area from them by treaty until 1768. In 1754 the lonely Grables would have been captured by the French when they built Fort Duquesne at future Pittsburgh 30 miles to the north. That same year the last outpost of British civilization was Fort Cumberland, 60 miles southeast of the Redstone area. The first English speaking surveyors and hardy pioneers did not appear on the lower Monongahela until the late 1760's when they formed an exclave out beyond the main line of the frontier. According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): The mother of Elizabeth Grable Winder was Hannah Earhart (Ehrhard), who was born 29 January 1733, in accordance with information from Mr. Harry Radcliff of Royal Oak, Michigan, a descendant through Hannah Grable Ratcliff, daughter of Samuel and Hannah Earhart Grable. Hannah Ehrhard's parents were Philip Reinhard Earhart and Anna Barbara Blum Earhart, who were married 19 May 1716. Philip Earhart immigrated to Pennsylvania before 1729 and settled in the Manatawny area in what was then Philadelphia County, now Montgomery County. Anna Barbara Blum Earhart died in 1713 [note: this should probably read 1733...AW], and Philip died in March 1740. Philip's will was written 25 February 1740 and proved in March of the same year. In this will Philip mentioned "the two youngest, Hanah and Elizabeth, are to have money for that reason that they may be brought up and lern to read and write till they can maintain themselves with their own labour and earn their own bread." In the final settlement of the will, which was not made until 22 February 1752, Hannah was named as Hannah Grabill. Martin Orner (Urner), a close neighbor of Samuel Grable and George Craft, was named as the co-executor of Philip Ehrhard's will, along with John Stein. Philip Reinhard Earhard's children, as named in his will, were Jacob, Philip, David, Margaretha, Katarina, Hanna, and Elizabeth. Elizabeth had died by the time the estate was settled. The sons received "all the smith's works and tools", Margaretha a spinning wheel, a woolen wheel, one calf and one sheep, and Katarina a "young steer named Blacy". All other property was to be sold and the proceeds divided equally among the named children. Jean Woods of Clear Springs, MD gives Philip Reinhard Earhart's parents as Hans Michael and Maria Catharine Earhart, and shows that Philip Reinhard was the oldest of six children. The Ehrhard family is supposed to have come to America from Bohl and Iggelheim, west of the Rhine in Ludwigshafen-am-Rhein. At a guess, Nicholas Grable may have come to America from this same area.
