General Notes: Husband - Peter Lenn Eller

Peter Eller received 97 pounds from the Estate of George Michael Eller which was settled by the Executors Henry Eller, brother of George Michael Eller, and Michael Gerber on 26 Oct 1779 in Frederick County, Maryland.

Peter Eller appears in the North Carolina land records on 10 Mar and 2 4 July 1780 when he entered upon and obtained orders to have surveyed two parcels of land on the upper ford of Rones Creek in Wilkes County , one containing 200 acres and the other containing 150 acres. He is found in the 1790 US Census living in the Morgan District of Wilkes Cou nty North Carolina, which is now part of Ashe County.

Peter Eller died before 29 July 1799, as evidenced by the court record book located in the courthouse at Wilkesboro, Wilkes Co., North Carolina: "Betsey Eller and John Eller having made application for Administration on the estate of Peter Eller gave John Bowers and John Koons for security who were bound in the sum of 800 pounds and qualified as the law directs." Betsey was Peter's widow Elizabeth, and John was his eldest son.

Maria Caterine was baptized on March 28, 1758.

Conrad bought a 100 acre tract of land which he called "Mon Hime" in
Frederick County, Maryland, in 1755. They sold the property in 1764.

Frederick County,Maryland, where Johannes began to learn the trade of

MARRIAGE: North Carolina Rowan County
Eller Kerns, John Suzana
Spouse: Eller, John
Kerns, Suzana Marriage Date: 05 Nov 1792

John Eller (page 69 in new Eller book) was born in 1767/9 of parents Peter Eller and Elizabeth Dick Eller. He died in Wilkes County, N.C. i n 1821. He married Susannah Kerns, and according to her gravestone, she died on April 10, 1853 at age 87. John was buried in Cemetery of Robert Cleveland on an adjoining farm - the New Hope Church and Cemetery did not exist. On June 26, 1830 John and Susannah's oldest son Simeon and his wife were founding members of the New Hope Baptist Church, located northwest of North Wilkesboro on a bench of land adjoining the foot of Rendevous Mountain. Undoubtedly the cemetery was developed soon afterward. Simeon died during his fifty-fourth year and was the first of Susannah's family laid to rest in the New Hope Cemetery. Contemporary residents claimed John was never removed from the Cleveland Cemetery to New Hope to lie beside his wife Susannah. However, other records claim he was removed to New Hope Cemetery but no gravestone was ever erected.

The inventory of the estate of John Eller by his sons Simeon and David Eller, administrators, which was filed October 1821, shows that John had a large area of land in the New Hope Section of Lewis Fork, and many items of personal property which included two stills, two sets of blacksmith tools, ten sides of leather, cobbler's tools, etc., as well as 24 gallons of whiskey. In addition to making whiskey, John Eller had blacksmith shops, a tannery, and was a cobbler.

CENSUS: 1800 Ashe Co NC Census
The 1800 Ashe County Census was the first for the northwestern most county in the Tar Heel State. This county was formed in late 1799 and included all of Wilkes County west of the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain. The 977 square miles that then composed Ashe County has been further divided, first in 1849 to form Watauga County, North Carolina and again 10 years later to form Alleghany County. This record includes families who may have been living in those areas at the time.
