Adam Eckhart came from a poor and war-torn area in southern Germany from which he and his father endured a difficult and life-threatening voyage to the New World. After landing in Philadelphia in 1750, he worked off an indenture, got married and started accumulating land. His plan was a good one. He walked the path of land acquisition on the way to wealth. His son John Eckhart trod in Adam's footsteps and acquired even more land. But trouble was coming as were riches.
Was the land of Adam Eckhart and his son John Eckhart stolen by the Maryland Mining Company? Did they go into the courthouse and have the names on the deeds changed? Did they swindle all the descendants out of a fortune that surely would have made them all very rich?
And did they kill Adam, John, or Jacob? Or have them killed?
And did his sons, Adam, and John Jr., file a Writ of Lunacy against their mother Mary Eckhart because she wanted to free all the slaves? Or was there another reason?
John's oldest son, Jacob Eckhart, married Delilah Porter in 1825 when he was 25 and she was about 13. Then he died mysteriously. Delilah's father was a mystery until a court order was discovered. And why didn't her parents marry? Then DNA proves what happened, but not why.
This family history book is different in that its primary purpose isn't to trace the descendancy of each family unit. Instead, it digs deeper into records to find the important Ancestor Stories that might have been easily lost to time.
