Research Notes:
Jacob Hostetter lived his adult life on the 475-acre Manor Township farm. In 1769 he finished building a house, which still stands today. It has been completely restored and is located on what is now the farm of Dr. & Mrs. Richard Mann. Besides the Manor Township farm, Jacob also owned Warwick Township land (in what is now Penn Township), which he acquired through his wife, Ann Elizabeth Hershey. She acquired this land in 1759 from her brother, Christian Hershey. Ann Elizabeth's father was Benjamin Hershey, another early Mennonite bishop. Jacob Hostetter was a Mennonite deacon. He was listed on a deed in 1771 as one of the present Elders in the Religious Society of people called Menonists in Manor Township." [4]
