1881 Biographical History of Crawford Co.
pg. 889
Peter Eby, North Robinson; was born in Perry Co., Ohio, May 21, 1811.  His
parents, John and Eve Bixler Eby, were both natives of the Keystone State,
where they were married, and resided until 1804, when they removed to Fairfield
Co., Ohio,
remaining there until the fall of the same year, when they removed to Perry
Co., where they passed the remainder of their lives.  The father died in 1830,
and the mother six years later.  They were the parents of twelve children, only
three of
whom are yet living.  Peter Eby passed his youth and early manhood, assisting
his father upon the farm.  He received such education as the schools of that
early day afforded, and when about 20 years of age began for himself.  He was
united in
marriage with Miss Rebecca Guisinger Oct. 9, 1831.  She was born in
Pennsylvania, in 1809, and died Feb. 16, 1842.  Mr. Eby married for his second
wife Miss Matilda Guisinger, a native of Perry Co., Ohio, where she was born
April 12, 1822.
Five children were born of the first marriage - George S., Elias V., Sarah,
Matilda and Joseph P.  Six were born of the second - Jacob H., Barbara, John,
Emma, Lincoln, and Viola J.  In 1837, Mr. Eby came to this county, which he has
since
made his home.  He has for many years been a member of the United Brethren
Church, and has done a great deal to elevate the standard of morality in the
community in which he lives.  He began life as a poor boy, and has obtained his
nicely
improved farm of 100 acres by his own exertions.  In politics he is a
Republican.  There are few men in the county, better or more favorably known
than Mr. Eby, and had the county more such men, it would be much better off.
