 1819 - 1842 (22 years)
Generation: 1
| 1. |  Krebill, Samuel was born on 24 Oct 1819 in Messerschwanderhof, Otterberg, Germany; died on 3 Mar 1842 in Hayesville, Ashland, Ohio, USA. Notes:
Samuel, the second son of Friedrich and Anna Krebill, was undoubtedly named after his miller grandfather Samuel Grehbiel of Altleiningen, Germany.
His life was interrupted when as a young man he contracted what was then called "consumption", now known as tuberculosis. At that time this affliction usually proved fatal and Samuel succumbed to the dreadful disease before his 23rd birthday.
Four years before his demise, Samuel was still taking an active part in the farm work so perhaps his illness was of short duration. He had not married.
