Aeschbacher Book 
 |
The
book documents the history of the Eschbachs and Eshbachs of eastern Pennsylvania of the
18th, 19th and 20th Centuries. The main focus
of the book is to the descendants Christian Eschbach (1737-1809). Christian is the forbear
to the Berks-Montgomery County family. Christian settled at (what is now) Barto, Berks
County, Pennsylvania. Christian’s
descendants spell the name as Eschbach, Eshbach or Eshbaugh. Christian was a Mennonite and
was buried at the Hereford Mennonite Church, Bally, Pennsylvania.
Christian’s father was 1737 Immigrant Peter Eschbacher/Aeschbacher, born
1694 at Lauperswil, Bern, Switzerland. Peter’s

Johann is thought to be the ancestor of the Lancaster County Eschbach Eshbach family. The early Lancaster Eschbachs were also
Mennonites, attending the Millersville Mennonite Church. There is a substantial amount of
information regarding the Lancaster County family in the book. |
