<text>George and Eve Gribel came to America ca. 1830.
Supposedly they lived in Philadelphia at first, in Lebanon Co., PA
for a while, in Pittsburg, PA for a while, and by 1850 they were
in Hancock Co., OH.
Their son George changed his last name to Grivel around the Civil
War. Some of their other children changed the name to Gribel.
George and Eve possibly came from Alsace-Lorraine and spoke
German. It has also been told that one or both came from Holland.
There may have been a fifth child, <I>Fred</I>. See the notes
for <prs>201</prs> for more information.
Eve has been burried in Allen/Bechtel Cem., Van Buren, Hancock
Co., OH.
Note from Barb Schultz, 28-jan-2000:
<I>In the 1860 census Eve D. Gribel, wife of George Sr., was living with Eve
and Joseph Ostheimer, which makes me think George Sr. must have died between
the 1850 and 1860 censuses. We have not been able to find a death record or
grave for George Sr., so we don’t know for sure. In the 1850 census
George’s occupation was farmer. The younger George was also a farmer, in
Iowa. Before his marriage, George Jr. had worked on a canal (I don’t know
if it was in PA or OH), and he had worked at a lumber camp and/or
sawmill.</I>
