Hans Jakob Blickensderfer

Anabaptist Blickensderfer. Of the Anabaptist himself little is known except what appears in the Speyer archives, and of his family it is only known that he had six sons, of whom five emigrated to America and one remained on the Kohlacher estate, in Germany; but who was his wife, and whether there were other children is unknown; nor is there any record of his birth or death.

If we assume he was at least twenty-four years old when he purchased the Kohlacher estate from Schneider, in 1716, it follows that he was born not later than 1692, and it is probable his birth was a few years prior to that date. While there is no record of his death, certain known facts seem to show that he died in 1767, and that at his death he conveyed the Kohlacher estate to the widow of his son, in trust for his grandson, John George; the son, apparently, having died in 1761-62, before the death of the Anabaptist
