Occupation: Clock maker along with brother Christian. - Joane Eby (See notes for his brother Christian)
The book "Runaways, Rascals and Rogues: Missing Spouses, Servants and Slaves," includes an advertisement by one Jacob Eby on March 3, 1810, for a new employee and a new apprentice:
JOURNEYMAN CLOCK-MAKER.
A Journeyman clock-maker of moral character, having an extensive knowledge of his profession, will meet good encouragement and constant employment, if his application be made to the subscriber, living in the village of Menheim, Lancaster County. Also an apprentice of about 15 years of age will be taken at the above business. He must be of good moral character and well recommended. To such a one good encouragement will be given. --March 3, 1810,
Jacob Eby Jacob Eby, Manheim, Lancaster County
Tall Clock, ca.1810
Little is known about Jacob Eby, younger brother of clockmaker Christian Eby of Manheim. Tax records
list him as working from 1803 to 1828. He was a prolific maker. He and his brother were apparently trained by Manheim clockmaker Samuel Stauffer (1757-1825). Stauffer was trained by York clockmaker Peter Schütz, who came from Switzerland via Germany to York about 1755. The clocks of Schütz, Stauffer, and the early clocks of the Ebys retain some of these Swiss and German features. Most prominent is the detachable frame pillar, which is pinned to the front and back plates. Many of his clocks have movements with seconds and calendar from the center, even on some 30-hour movements. He used both dead-beat and recoil escapements.
Jacob Eby was born on 26 February 1776 at Manheim, Rapho Twp., Lancaster Co., PA. He was the son of John Joseph Eby and Magdalena Stauffer. Jacob Eby married Hannah Parkinson in 1801 at Manheim, Rapho Twp., Lancaster Co., PA. Jacob Eby died on 30 March 1835 at Manheim, Rapho Twp., Lancaster Co., PA, at age 59.
