One of my ancestral lines is HILBORN, but I have a narrative which has some information on the Eby and ERB families. It states: Among the early Quaker settlers between 1682 to 1700 were the HILBORN family. They took up land in the Philadelphia area. In 1715 and 1722 the Eby and ERB families came over from Switzerland and settled in Lancaster Co....... The Eby and ERB families settled on Hammer Creek, in the area drained by the Conestoga River. Fort Harris, now Harrisburg, was a short distance to the west of them on the Susquehanna River.

Note by T.Burns (This narrative has many pages and some pages later says the HILBORNS, Ebys, and the ERBS came to Canada. Perhaps you may have some interest)
