General Notes: Husband - Samuel Eicher

---

He was one of five brothers who came from Germany as young men. Two of them settled in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, one in the Ligonier valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, one in Ohio and one in Pittsburgh. He was one of the two who settled in Fayette County, taking up a tract of land in what is now Bullskin township. Here he erected a cabin and established a home where he passed the remainder of his life. This property was still in the possession of his descendants into the twentieth century, and was two hundred and twenty-six acres in extent. He followed the trade of coopering in addition to his agricultural pursuits.
