References
- John Michael Oberlin and John Adam Oberlin came to America with their father, John Martin Oberlin prior to 1726 from Liedolsheim (east of the Rhine River north of Karlsruhe), Germany. The Oberlin (Stober and Fry) families are listed as "pioneer families" in the 1883 History of Lancaster County and Martin Overle appears on the 1726 Conestoga Township tax roll. It's believed John Martin died shortly after arriving in America. Referring to Martin and his sons, in his 1901 publication, Memorials of the Huguenots in America, Reverend A. Stapleton writes: "The Oberlins were distinguished in the history of France, notably the Reformer of Ban-de-la-Roche (Johann Friedrich Oberlin), who was a relative of the Pennsylvania Oberlins."
