Surnames: Efaw/Efau/Eva/Efaugh/Epaw/ Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZdB.2ACI/3125 Message Board Post: I understand that a Jacob Hare, Tory, from Huntingdon Valley, PA married a Christine Afaw/Efaw/Ephau. No marriage date but both supposedly born in Germany in the 1730's.Later they moved to Ross County Ohio where they died. I am tracing the Efaw line and looking for information to the old country? Our name has been spelled many different ways so not sure what it would appear as in the old country. My Ancestor David Efaw/Efaugh was in Rev. Army in 1783 at age 18 and said he was born in PA. Have not been able to trace him to PA. Any help/info very much appreciated thanks bob e

Some think that Jacob Hare was from England or Ireland, but most sources do say that his wife was German, whether he was or not. Ephraim is another version given for her name. I also wondered (pure speculation, but it is a known Germanic surname) about Ebaugh, Ibaugh. Where did your David Efaw/Efaugh live (after PA) ? Did he also go to Ross Co. OH? Appreciate your writing. This could be a clue for us, too. Lanny in Kansas ______________________________
