Early life
Dannaldson was the son of James Jerrmiel Dannaldson and Lulu Belgium Rola Hiatt. Young James was a shot put star at Hollywood High School in 1934, when he suffered his first animal mishap. A pet rattlesnake nipped Dannaldson’s finger when he playfully stuck his thumb into the reptile’s mouth [1]. Dannaldson was not deterred, and kept a barn filled with three rattlesnakes, five king snakes, ten turtles and one hoot owl when he was a University of Southern California student. The neighbors were not pleased.[2]
James Dannaldson in Jacaré (1942) In Jacaré (1942) Dannaldson traveled up the Amazon to catch specimens. In the film, Dannaldson worked with jaguars and caymans, whose jaws had been wired shut. He said his only close call came when an anaconda he wrestled got a loop around his neck and almost strangled him before the natives could unwrap it. Dannaldson’s most primitive adventure occurred on Marajó Island, at the mouth of the Amazon, where the movie company spent four weeks, ran out of imported food and had to subsist for five days on moldy doughnuts filled with small worms and on chickens which, Dannaldson said, seemed to be 90 per cent vulture.[3] Producer Jules Levey incorporated a narration by Frank Buck (animal_collector) and music by Miklos Rozsa into the finished film.[4] Dannaldson came home from the Amazon with a rare eagle from Manaus, obtained as a fledgling from a native hunter. Dannaldson presented the eagle to the San Diego Zoo in 1943.[5]
Later life
In his later years, "Jungle Jim" Dannaldson provided animals for Hollywood films, especially reptiles, spiders, scorpions and insects for horror films. In 1977 he was to appear on the Tonight Show with a six foot angleworm from Australia [6]. Dannaldson was author of two books, Serpent Trails (1937) and A Trek in the Amazon Jungles (1949).

John HIATT Jr.
There is a record that John may have been named Elisha John Hiatt. Copy of Ira Shain papers. Illinois Historical Society's Journal.
John was the second son of Jesse and Polly Proctor, B. in Ky and emmigrated to Andrew Co. Mo. with parents around 1808 where a brother James L. Hiatt was born. They left Mo. before 1813 as they were in what become White CO. Ill. where Jesse Joined the Peoria Vol. for the War of 1812.
Family moved to Peoria Co. sometime around 1832 where Jesse appears on land records. John appears restless, with his brothers they travel freely between Ill. and Mo. where there uncles and grandfather are, Clay Co. by 1818. By 1851 John assists his parents in a move to Freemont Co. Iowa, Sidney. He becomes a large land owner and prominant in that area. He may also have been with his uncles and other family members when they went to the gold fields of No. Calif. There the family is said to have found a gold strike that sold for $30,000. Some of this family later went on to Colo. for the Gold strikes in 1859 where they were the founder of Golden Colo. and Estes Park.
John Hiatt Jr. was also a minister of the Gospel.

John F. EBERMAN
May have resided in Hancock Co., Ill. at the time he married Elizabeth, possible he was married prior. Dorothy (Fowler) Payne, 6001 East Eli, Tuscon, Ariz. 85711 called us on 20 Oct. 1992 with exciting news of her Moore families which she has been working on for several years. She had seen our information in the LDS Church library files having submitted information on Abraham Moore and Elizabeth Wolverton. She had called Duchesne, Utah and got hold of someone there who looked up our forewarding address and gave it to her so that she could contact us.
Doty, (above Dorathy) will send us what she has on these families and is anxious for us to connect with her. She believes that the first child of Abraham Moore should be John and not Jane, a brother to Robert. She has the
marriage bond of John Everman and Elizabeth, also said that Abraham was killed in Hancock Co., Ill. She also has quite a bit of further information to share with us.
See notes of 1830 census of Ill. under notes of Elizabeth, daughter of John Eberman and Margaret Wolverton..
The death date and place is only established at this point by the obiturary of Betsy, wherein it states that her father, John, died while she was a young child. So that would have been after 1838 and before 1850, they were living in Fremont Co., Iowa at that time.

PHONE CONVERSATION TODAY: 11 Jun 1994 with Doty Payne.
She said that she had found in court records of Holt Co., Mo. that John Eberman was called to be a witness in a trial of William Sutherland for adultry, polygamy. He was called to court in 1845 and released from court in 1846, court sent papers to Atkinson Co., Mo. Atchison Co. was attatched as part of Holt Co. until 1854, Atchison Co. lost a 10 mile strip to Iowa in 1848. Established as a county in 1843. There was also a Sarah Eberman in Clay Co., Mo. in 1850. Names associated with his residence include Batavia and Locust Grove, Mo. Lots of evidence points to a possible link to the early Mormon movement of western Mo. and Iowa, as well as Ill.

James Jefferson Everaman's Family Tree
On Sept. 26, 1732, the English Ship "Mary" Docked at the port of Philedelphia with 61 German passengers aboard. (From the German Pioneers, by Strassburger and Hinke.) Among these immigrants were Michael Everman, age 56; Conrad Eberman, age 23; and Hans Jacob Eberman, age 19. Since only the names of males over the age of 16 years of age were recorded by the clerk of the ship we must assume there were also females and males under 16 years of age in this group. Among the young male passengers there had to be a German lad of about seven years of age by the name of Michael Eberman who will be referred to in this manuscript as "Our immigrant ancestor", Michael Eberman". (1g - means first generation). It is probable that Michael Eberman, age 56, was the father of Michael (1g) and that Conrad and Hans Jacob were brothers of the young Michael.
The information I will now quote is from a manuscript compiled between 1885 and 1905 by Dr. Barton Warren Evermann (4g), a great Grandson of Michael
Eberman (1g). "According to the information given to me by my father, Andrew Everman (3g) (1817-1905), at various times in the last 20 years of his life, the American progenitor of the Everman family was my great grandfather, Michael Evermann (1g), who was born about 1725 somewhere on the Rhine, in Germany. Tradition has it that five brothers came from Germany at the same time; that two of them settled in Pennsylvania, and the other three in Virginia. Of the two who settled in Penn. Very little is known; of the three brothers who setteld in Virginia only the name of one is known, namely, Michael Everman 1g), my great grandfather. he is said to have entered the American army in the Rev. War. One enverified tradition has it that he was married twice. How many of his 14 children were by the first wife and how many by the second wife tradition does not say. It is said that he spent the last years of his life at the home of his son Andrew Everman (2g) (1780-1857) near Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
My father Andrew Everman (3g) (1817-1905) often heard him tell about his experiences as a Revolutionary War Soldier. He would take his old gun down from it's support on the wall and show his grandchildren the mysteries of gun
drill and the manuel of arms. He was not a large man, perhaps 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 175 pounds. His second wife died many years before his death. (Jane, Michael's wife, was last listed in the 1820 Federal Census of Montgomery Co., KY.) He is said to have been a many of very strong convictions and very strong will, who often lost his temper. At the time of his death, which occured aobut 1830, at the home of his son Andrew (2g) near Mt. Sterling, KY, he was 105 years and 10 days old. (Michael was not listed in the 1830 Federal Census of Montgomery Co., KY, but accordign to a record in the Circuit Court of Bourbon Co., KY, he was still alive in November of 1928.) If this is true, he was born about 1725. HIs body lies in the old grave yard at the mouth of Somerset Creek, north of Mt. Sterling, Montgomery Co., KY." (This writer located the old abandoned cemetery just above the junction of the Somerset and Grassy Lick Creeks in Montgomery Co., KY. The old burial ground is surrounded by a wall of limestonce, and is now referred to as the old Wilson Cemetery.)
Andrew Everman (3g) (1817-1905), who furnished his son Dr. Barton Warren Everman (4g) with the material for the above quoted manuscript, was 13 years of age when his grandfather, Michael Everman (1g), died about 1830. A lad of
13 would naturally be impressed with the extreme old age of his grandfather and the strories he told of his Revolutionary War experiences.
The biography of Michael Everman (3g) (1826-1881) appeared in a history of Appanoose Co., Iowa, published in 1878. This states that his grandfather was born in Germany. The statements of these two g andsons, Michael (3g) and
Andrew Jr. (3g), about the immigrant Michael Everman; plus the fact that a search of the ships records in the National Archives discolsed no other Eberman came to America until 1830, is convincing proof that our immigrant ancestor,
Michael Eberman (1g), was on the boat that docked at Philadelphia on Sept. 26, 1732. (Andrew and Michael above were brothers)
What became of our Eberman family after they arrived in Philadelphia on Sept. 26, 1732: A very careful study of the records in the City Hal of Philadelphia turned up nothing. The Colonial Records of Pennsylvania listed Michael Eberman as settling in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, but a study of the church and court records of that county revealed nothing.
It was not until a search of the Virginia records was made that I again located our Eberman family, although I am sure they spent some time in Pennsylvania before going to Virginia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EBERMAN BROTHERS IN VIRGINIA
MIchael, John, and Jacob Eberman were paid in 1758 and 1760 for their services in the French and Indian War, serving from Augusta Co., Virginia. (See Virginia Colonial Militia, page 624, by William A. Crozier.) At that time Augusta Co., was very large, extending far beyond the Alleghaney Mountains to the Mississippi River.
In 1782 Michael Eberman (1g) was on the land tax list of Hampshire Co., Virginia. Later Hampshire County was divided to form Hardy County, Virginia. Later Hampshire County was divided to form Hardyt County and michael Eberman (1g) was a taxpayer int aht county by 1786. After a division of Hardy County in 1787, he was then a taxpayer in Pendelton COunty which was formed from Hardy and Augusta Counties. Our ancestor had never moved, only the county lines had been changed. In 1790 Michael Eberman (1g) was still living on his original 64 acres, a land patent of 1767, five miles below the mouth of the Seneca Creek, Virginia and featured on teh cover of the West Virginia State Highway Map. Of course, when our ancestors lived there they were living in Virginia Only during the Civil War did this part of the state become West Virginia. (Virginia State Land Office, Richmond, Virginia, Patent No. 37 (1767-1768).
A study of the court records of Augusta Co., Virginia proved that John Eberman (1g), who served in the French and Indian War, was a brother of our Immigrant ancestor, Michael Eberman (1g). John died in 1774; his widow Mary
and his brother Michael Eberman were appointed the administrators of his estate. (Augusta County Records. Dr. Morton in his History of Penelton Coutny, West Virginia states taht John, Jacob, and Michael Eberman were
brothers.) If John left any male heirs they would have been minors at the time of his death. John, who lived near his brother Michael in Virginia, would have been under 16 years of age when the family came to America, since his name did not appear on the ship list.
Jacob, who was named on the ship list as Hans Jacob, lived near his two brothers, Michael and John. Jacob was naturalized in 1774 in the Augusta County, Virginia Court. Of the many thousands of naturalized the records of
only a few remain, so it is not surprising I did not the naturalization records of Michael and John. Many of Jacob's descenents can be found today in Carter Co., KY. (The descendents of Jacob Eberman will be treated in a seperate manuscript) NOTE by LA: I have no access at this time, nor do I know where to yet locate the manuscript mentioned.
Since nothing was found concerning the immigrant John Eberman (1g), except that his bill of sale, listed in the records of Augusta Co., Virginia revealed that he was a slave holder, he will be dropped. (This is sad at this point because this is most likely the link to my John Everman of this record whom we are researching., LA)
The Revolutionary War record of our progenitor, Michael Eberman (1g), was located in the State Archives at Richmond, Virginia. He was an ensign in the
State Militia and was paid, according to his record, for 121 pounds of bacon
which he furnished the American army in 1780. (A photostat of this record can be obtained from the State Archives of Virginia, Richomond, Virginia.)
After researching through the records of Virginia and West Virginia, I am convinced thtat the information in the manuscript by Dr. Barton Warren Evermann (4g) is true.---- That three of the immigrant Eberman brothers settled in Virginia; namely, Michael, John, and Jacob.
HERE THE RECORDS ARE CARRIED ON, such as THE EBERMANS IN KENTUCKY, however, as it appears that this family begins to follow a different lineage, that of cousins, I will not put all data in at this point.
It appears that my line of Eberman's are the same but of one of the brothers not herein followed. The John F. Eberman of my family stated that he was born in Pennsylvania and since he was born about 1780 must have been a son of one of the brothers of Michael, perhaps even the John who is mentioned above, or even one of the brothers who settled seperately in Penn.
At this juncture our John could be the son of John, or one of the brothers, Conrad or Hans Jacob. He does not appear to be from Michael, Jr.

The only matching families which could have been the family of John F. Eberman was that of John, Jr. and of Philip, both of Lancaster Co., and probably both sons of John Sr., Gotlieb could have been a brother, son or cousin of the other Ebermans but certainly related, especially due the point that they were living close to each other and the rarity of the name.
If the family had come over in 1732, that was about 58 years prior to this time, Conrad is not found in this census record and it is probably true that he was deceased by this time, as he was 23 in 1632 and would have been in his 80's.

Since Margaret was born about 1690, she may not have even reflected on this census record. She also fits all the above families for possiblities. The most likely, however, as a bet, would be Thomas who was also living most closely to Thomas Moore, possibly the father of Abraham Moore who married Margaret. Some interesting things to start with as time affords.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margaret WOLVERTON
See notes under Betsy, her parents were born in Penn. Margaret may be the same as is in the 1870 census of Batavia Locust Grove Twp., Jefferson Co., Ill. page 6. 1 July 1870. It is suspected at this point that Margaret returned to Ill. to be with her other children, she would have died and been buried there after 1870 if it is the same as found in the 1870 census.
