The Hempleman Story, researched and compiled by Gene Ebner
My family history. George Hempleman, the son of a lord in eighteenth century Kassel, Germany, left home and country to marry his love, Margarette Duffe. Both became indentured servants in the American colonies, separating for four years. They met, when their times as servants were up, in a church - able to identify one another by a white glove (George had one, Margarette had one). Fascinating story. Even more fascinating and excellent, my grandpa (Gene Ebner) traced the children of George and Margarette to my grandma's dad, Earl Rose, detailing the highlights of the lives between them. I love my heritage, and was excited to have my family's history written out - with pictures, maps and documents! Thanks, Grampa Gene!
For further reading, a distant relative (Karen Bowden-Cox) has written a fictional account based on the facts of our common ancestor: Honorable Deception. Have yet to read, but ought to soon!
