Ezra Eby:
Because Peter Eby was among the wealthiest of the Ebys at the time, other authors have speculated that he fell out of favor with the Mennonite community and was consequesntly "lost" in the earky chronicles of the family. However, the number of guardianships to which he was appointed clearly indicate that Peter was highly respected and trusted to handle the financial affairs of others. Furthermore, Peter was certainly a careful businessman, as evidenced by his accumulation of land and wealth and his diligent recording of financial transactions.
