Subject: CABLE-CREVISTON
I am a direct decendant of the Cable and Creviston line via
Mary Anne
Cable and Henry Eller. Mary Ann Cable was one of the
daughters of
Martin Cable and Elizabeth Creviston. Below is a letter
written by Dr.
W. Arthur Cable in 1956.
I have further information on Henry Eller and Mary Ann Cable
(including
their decendants) and Mary Ann's siblings. See:
http://community-2.webtv.net/nearaldertree/ELLERFAMILYHISTORY
and:

You may also contact me. I would be interested on any
information on
these families.
Thank you,

HENRY ELLER
......MARY ANN CABLE ELLER.....
excepts from a letter written by Professor W. Arthur Cable (a
direct
decendent of the Cable family via Mary Ann Cable Eller and
back) to T.
Elsberry...
Note: Mr. Cable was a professor at the University of Arizona;
he also
was a genealogist who traveled doing research on the Cable and
Eller
families, along with related families...
On the ancestory of Mary Ann Cable, wife of Henry Eller,
Professor Cable
contributed:
"In 1746 Jacob Gebel (Cable) arrived in this country from
Switzerland. He seemed to have lived in Franklin County,
Pennylvania
where his son Martin was born about 1750.
Martin was married about 1773 in Brudersthal (Brother's
Valley)
Pennylvania in what later became Sommerset County. He married
Christiana
Replay or Ripley; and on her death probably about 27 years
later; he
married Mary ?. To him was born 16 children; four sons and
twelve
daughters.
From 1773 to 1808 he lived respectively, in what later
became
Somerset, Cambria, Blair, Westmore, and again back in Cambria
County. He
was a German Baptist preacher (now the Church of the
Brethren). In about
1808, he moved that portion of his family that still lived at
home to
Perry Township, Montgomery County, Ohio; his older children
including
the oldest son Christian and four daughters remaining in
Pennylvania and
one daughter remaining in Athes County, Ohio, where they had
lived
several years previously. Martin died on his land about eight
miles west
of Dayton on or near November 25, 1811.
The thirteenth child, Martin,was born near Frankstown,
Pennylvania
in the northern part of what is now Blair County, November 15,
1795. In
Montgomery County, Ohio he married Elizabeth Creviston on
March 17,
1817.
They lived on the family land west of Dayton at least
until after
Mary Ann Cable (Eller) was born; then moved up to Miami County
about 25
miles north and bought a farm about a half mile north of where
the
village of Bradford was later established (1861), and lived
there until
early 1850.
In early 1850, this Martin Cable moved his family still at
home to Grant
County, Indiana (note from compiler, J.M. Eller: this gives a
strong
reason for Ellers, including Henry & Mary Ann Eller, John
Eller, ect. to
locate in this area. At one time Henry and Mary Ann had their
children
and grandchildren + living there.) and then soon up to
Sommerset in
Wabash County, the next county north, where he was elected to
the
ministry in the German Baptist Brethren Church and was a
circuit rider.
Martin died August 17, 1861 unusually heavy; his height was
5'6"...."
