Resettlement Scenario: after Hans Georg died, family may have moved back to PA before returning VA

If the dates and sequences suggested by Shirley Seal Breeden regarding the whereabouts of Hans Georg Ebert are correct (that he resettled in Naked Creek in 1734 and that he died there in 1742), then one possible scenario is that Margaret Christena Starke took her own seven children as well as the older four children from Hans Georg's first marriage back to Pennsylvania after Hans Georg's death. This would help to explain Phillip, John, and Andrew being in PA in the 1750s and 1760s purchasing and selling land there. Also, why would family historians suggest that Windle was the first to reach the Shenandoah Valley to buy land in Naked Creek if the Eberts were not returning to Virginia and Windle preceded his half-brothers while they made their way through Maryland making land deals. It is presumed that Windle returned to a more stable VA with his mother, Margaret, and her other children. Phillip, John, and Andrew, older than the rest, moved from place to place in PA and then MD purchasing and selling land. Andrew, wife Mary Elizabeth Unknown, and their son, John, eventually resettled with Margaret's family in Naked Creek.
