We know he is the patriarch of the Egbert clan that came from New Jersey ans settled in Preble Ohio. St Joseph county history states that he and his wife Rachel (Williams) were pioneers to St Jos county. buyt cant seem to find any evidence other than Rachels grave in Hamilton church graveyard.He died in Preble co so is probably buried there but cant find that either.
