There were two immigrant brothers, Jacob and Frederick, who came separately in the 1840s to Watertown/Union Township, Washington County and then moved to Harmar (now part of Marietta). Jacob was a master saddler, Frederick a farmer and brickyard owner.
The family spelling originally was Abendshon with an umlaut that doesn't show in typed versions. That then evolved to Abendschoen (Ab-en-Shane) to indicate in type the sound that the umlaut indicated. There also were varieties of other spellings, including Ebinshane, in censuses.
Frederick and his wife Magdalena Boger are buried near the large stone of the Scott family plot on the bank toward the Fort Harmar Drive hill part of this cemetery. Magdalena's tombstone has now crumbled but Frederick's is still faintly legible. Frederick's inscription faces the Fort Harmar Drive side (backwards relative to the larger cemetery. The picture here shows the un-inscribed side).
Frederick's brother Jacob and his wife are buried in Mound Cemetery, where a single black stone shows three generations at once.
This couple's son Henry, who died as a young father with three children under 3, is buried about 12 miles out Ohio 676 toward Watertown, where the families first lived. The rest of the family later moved to the Harmar area of Marietta. Daughter Johanna Abendschoen Strecker, Henry's sister, is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Marietta.

Schwaigern, Germany, researcher Ulf Hartmann reported that Frederick, Magdalena, Henry and Johanna Abendshon arrived on the Claiborne from Le Havre, France, to New York on 29 May 1848, a year after Frederick's brother Jacob and family followed the same route in May 1847, on the D'Orleans, with Jacob's wife, son, daughter and Ebinger son-in-law. Jacob Boger -- of unclear relation -- arrived from Antwerp in 1846 with his wife and two three children.
