GEDCOM Note

He was baptized by the Rev. John Caspar Stoever. The sponsor at his baptism was John Jacob Yost.

He grew up in the New Hanover neighborhood and was confirmed at New Hanover church in 1744, aged 14 years.

Jacob continued to live in New Hanover for a few years, or at least he had three children baptized there at the New Hanover church. Then he moved a few miles to the northwest and lived in Rockland Township of Berks Co., where he appears on the tax lists for the years 1758-1766, and then disappears (is not on the lists for 1767, 1768, or 1770). He seems to have assessed a medium sized tax there. What became of him -- whether he died or moved away, is not known at present.
