Sorry, can't help you there but maybe you can help me. Do you have any info on Adam Eckard/Echert's parents? It is rumored in my family tree that my gggg grandmother was Maria Barbery(Barbara) Eckard/Echert b.1725-1730 died 1792 Lincoln County NC and married Christian Treffenstatt. Their daughter Catherine Treffenstatt b. 1752 Catawba County NC d. 1792 Claremont NC married Martin Eckard. It is also rumored that Martin Eckard was Maria Eckard's nephew. I would love to prove or disprove this theory. Any help anyone can give on this would be appreciated.
