CHILDREN
===========================================================================
Note: Felix and Elsbeth died on the voyage to America with their two children.
As a consequence, both Henry and Ann were bound out.  I don't know what
happened to Ann, but Henry was bound out to Lawrence Stephens, his future
father-in-law.


Henry Earnest built a three story log cabin on the Nolichucky in Greene 
County which still stands.  It was built about 1783.
