Surnames: Eberman, Greenwood Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ok.2ADE/1713.1 Message Board Post: John Greenwood, son of Caleb and a woman of Crow (rather than Blackfoot) heritage, married Sarah Frances Eberman as you mentioned, and I think she was all of 12 years old at the time. She was the best childhood friend of my great great grandmother, who was herself the sister of Caleb Greenwood's Crow wife. I think Sarah's name was spelled "Francis Eberman" in the record, but it's the same woman. Her parents were a John Eberman and Sarah Frances Hagler Eberman. Both may have been born in North Carolina. I am interested in any connections you may have for this Sarah Frances Eberman and these 2 "sons of John" named in a probate. Are their names given? Any other details? Sarah did have 2 (older) brothers that I know of, Ninian and William "Crockett" Eberman, and both wound up on the west coast. Ninian was an Oregon pioneer in 1843, and Crockett followed later. They were connected up with the Greenwoods in a few ways. All 3 Eberman's had kids, and Ninian has a number of descendents, most of which know nothing of him or their heritage. Sarah divorced John in proceedings in Oregon in the 1850s, though he was not in Oregon, but rather down in California where he later died. He was not killed on the Plains as some say -- this is just one of the many silly "legends" that were reported erroneously and have now become "facts" that surround the Greenwood family. Caleb was quite a "story teller" it appears, and even managed to convince some that he was 20 years older than he r! eally was. In a later post I saw that you thought a James Greenwood might have been a son of Caleb. The one you have was not him. James Case Greenwood, son of Caleb, was born about 1841 and died up in the northern part of the California coast years later. Thanks in advance.
