I have about 40-50; pages on Frederick's desecendants; too much to post here.Contact me at [email protected] for more details. I would be happy to trade all I have for your updated personal line.JIm Woolbright, Atlantic Beach, Fl.
(1) 1. Fredrick 16 EISENHOWER , 02 Eisenhauer
Birth Date: 15 Jul 1794
Birth Place: Linglestown, Dauphin Co. Penn.
Death Date: 13 Mar 1884
Death Place: Dickinson Co. Kan.
Burial Place: Belle Springs River Brothern Cem.Abilene, Kan
Occupation: Farmer And Weaver Of Bed Spreads & Cloth
Religion: Converted to wife's Church, a Mennonite Sect.
Notes:
died at Jacob Frederick's home, one mile north of the Belle Springs River Brothern Cem. 12 miles south of Abilene, Dickinson Co. Kan.
Change of spellingfrom Eisenhauer (Isenhour) to Eisenhower occured with this generation and is mostly confined to the decendents of this family group.Frederick 's father was 78 years old at the time he was born.he is the Great-grand-father of D. D. Eisenhower.
In the 1820 and 1830 Census, he lived in Lower Paxton Twp, Dauphin Co. Penn. He had moved to Upper Paxton Twp by 1840.In the 1850 Upper Paxton Twp. Census, page #444, his granddaughter Catherine NOVINGER and Elizabeth MILLER (Barbara's sister?) were living with Frederick and his wife.In 1860, at age 66,he were living with son, Jacob Frederick,in Washington Twp near Elizabethville, Dauphin Co.
In 1878, he moved with Jacob and Samuel to Hope, Dickerson Co. Kansas.Catherine and Samuel Pike (Pyke) followed shortly and also bought land near Abilene.
Research:
In 1878-1879 a colony of several hundred (Susquehanna River Brethren from Pennsylvania}arrived in the old time corrupt cow town of Abilene, Kan. They brought with them fifteen carloads of household and farming equipment, and more than a half-million dollars in cash. With this stuff they at once began to organize homes and fields on virgin land purchased from the Kansas Pacific Railroad.
The old railhead cow towns of Kansas rapidly died away as railroads extented west and south to where the cattle were raised and civilizaion rapidly erased that era of history.

Daughter of John Miller and Susan Raysor. [Originally Millerin].Mrs. Richardson's book has her burialin the Keefer Cemetery near the Free Grace Bretheran Church which is half-way between Millersburg and Elizabettville,Dauphin Co., Penn. [Some have assumed she died in Kansas but her husband did not go there till 1878, 16 years after her death.]
She stated to her daugher,that the Eisenhauer family lived near the borderline of France and camefrom Alsace, France.[ Barbara was correct in that there were Eisenhauers' borninFrance ( Forbach, Lorraine) but they were not in her husband's direct line but rather descendants of Hans Nicholas Eisenhauer's Uncle,Johann Frederick Eisenhauer, who had a son by the same name, but who never left France or Germany. ( See under Hans Peter Eisenhauer 1650- 1683,European Family Section, for details. )
Also, that a number of the family went to Canada to live.She also noted the story from her mother,Susanna Miller,about British soldiers breaking into their home and running sabres thru the feather beds looling for hiding American soldiers during the Rev. War.She also noted that the family was related to Gen. Winfield Scott who became commander of the American Forces in the Mexican-American War.
