A biosketch of Emma Schriver's parents reports [7]:
Jacob C. Schriver, carpet weaver, P. O. Gettysburg, was born December 7, 1816, a son of John and Elizabeth (Chronister) Schriver, natives of Adams County, and of German origin. The ancestors of our subject came from Germany to America about 1726; one settling in Hampton, Reading Township, one at Annapolis, Md., and another at West Philadelphia. Our subject is a member of the Hampton branch of the family. His father was a weaver by occupation, which he followed until his eighty-fourth year, and died in his eighty-eighth year; his wife lived to be eighty-four years old. Jacob C. was educated in the district school and early in life learned the weaver's trade with his father, and has made that his principal business in connection with his farm, which consists of eighty-two acres of land. In 1840 he married Elizabeth Reynolds, a daughter of Jonathan Reynolds, and of French and German descent. Her father, who was a farmer, died at the age of seventy-seven years. Mr. and Mrs. Schriver had a family of eight children, five of whom are still living: Anna Maria, wife of John Rummel; Emma Amelia, wife of Henry Weigle; Sidney S.; Francis R., a farmer, and Sadie A. The family are members of the Reformed Church, of which Mr. Schriver has been elder and deacon. He has also served as register and recorder of Adams County and school director, and served nine years as postmaster at Hampton, from 1851 to 1860.
