Research Notes:
See Mennonite card file. [92] [93] [94] [95] [96]
There is uncertainty about the European origins of Jacob Huber, who dated his will on July 9, 1759 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The ancestry that we show is based on secondary sources. We seek further documentation about Jacob's ancestry.
1700 Jacob Huber, son of Hans Huber and Barbara Lier, was baptized on September 5, in Hausen, Switzerland [97]. We have followed this line of ancestors. This lineage appears to have primary source documentation in Hausen church records, which we have not yet seen. We are not aware of any documentation directly linking this ancestry to Jacob Huber, who dated his will on July 9, 1759 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania or to his father Hans who died in 1750 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
c 1696 Jacob Huber was born about 1696 in Friedrichstadt, Holstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. [98] We have not followed this potential ancestry.
The date of immigration is unclear. There are tax records in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania for Jacob Huber as early as 1719. Hans and Jacob Huber immigrated on the Molly in 1727. Hans Huber immigrated on the ship Mortonhouse in 1728. Land transactions started about 1730.
1717 Three ships arrived in Philadelphia with Mennonite passengers. [99] [100] 51. Jacob Huber, age 19, died 1743, Lancaster County, has been named as likely being on one of the ships. [101] This report has a different date of death for Jacob Huber.
Jacob Huber may have married twice. There is no record of the name of his first wife, who died in Earl Twp. He had six children by first wife. Jacob Huber's second wife was named Anna, mother of Matthias Hoover. He had five children by his second wife. [102]
1754 Jacob Huber of Lancaster County signed a petition to recruit a teacher capable of instructing not only in English and German but also in Latin and Greek. [103] [104]
1742 A Moravian church-settlement was started at Lititz, Lancaster county, in 1743. In December, 1742, Count Zinzendorf came to the home of Jacob Huber. [105]
1750 About 1750 a small furnace was built by John Jacob Huber, a German, on a tributary of Conestoga creek, near Brickersville, in Lancaster County. .. Of Huber, personally, little is known, except that on a stone in this furnace he had these words inscribed: "Jacob Huber, der erste Deutsche Mann Der das Eisenwerk vollfuhren Kann." On 7 November 1752, his daughter, Elizabeth, was married to Heinrich Wilhelm Steigel. [likely not this Jacob Huber][106]. Alternatively, the inscription has been reported to name "John Huber" [107]. Alternatively, the inscription reads "Johann Huber" and he sold the iron works to Friedrich Wilhelm von Stiegel in 1757 [108]. "He learned the iron business from Jacob Huber, whose furnace in Lancaster County was a prosperous one, and he married Huber's daughter Elizabeth, …" [109]. Mr. Stiegel married Elizabeth, daughter of John Huber, and the furnace was named after her [110]. This might refer to Jacob Huber, who married Maria Barbara Edinger.
1758 Jacob Huber, ironmaster, and wife Magdalina [so likely not this Jacob Huber] of Lancaster county, enf.-rel. sold land to Charles and Alexander Stedman of Philadelphia. The land was adjacent to land of Conrad Templeman and a barren mountain. Originally granted to Jacob Huber by letters patent, dated February 6, 1756. [111]
Edwin F. Hoover's book concerning the Hoovers of Hoover Gap, Rutherford County, Tennessee was published by the Rutherford County, Tennessee Historical Society in 1984: Walter K. Hoover - Matthias Hoover of Hoover Gap, in Rutherford County Historical Society, Publication No. 22, Winter 1984, pp 99 thru 104. (not seen)
Several sources suggest that Jacob Huber built a mill, later named Strohm's Mill. [112]:
Mills and Manufactories. — Aside from the grist-mill at New Providence, above mentioned, is Strohm's mill, built by Martin Huber about twenty-six years ago, its present owner, John Strohm, Jr., being the contractor. It was built upon the site of an old mill which was among the first in the county.
A short distance south of Strohm’s, Henry Breneman built a mill about 1813. It is of stone, some of which came from an old furnace which stood close by. Some of the door-sills, which are cast, came from the same place.
Furnace Run furnishes the motive-power for both the above mills.
A biosketch reports [113]:
2.—Jacob Huber 1, born in Switzerland, or in the Palatinate, prior to 1700, and died in Martic, now Providence Twp., Lancaster County, July 9, 1759. He was married twice. There is no record of his first wife, she having died in Earl Twp.; the second wife's name was Anna, and she was living when he made his will in 1754. We have no further record. Church, Mennonite; farmer; res., Martic Twp., Lancaster Co.; buried at a private graveyard on the homestead. Providence Twp., then a part of Martic Twp.; issue to first wife: 8 married Yost Kendrick, no record; 9 Barbara, married Philip Stetzler who lived in Pari Twp., two miles south of New Holland, and died before 1754; 10 Maria, married Jacob Eberly, no record; 11 John; 12 Martin; 13 Margaret, married John Winter, no record. Children to the second wife: 14 Christian; 15 Magdalene, married Adam Geffeller; 16 Catherine, married Abraham Ladshaw, no record; 17 Mathias; 18 Jacob.
Jacob Huber, son of Hans Huber, came to Pennsylvania with his father's family and most likely was married after he came. He took charge of the homestead in 1745 and between this date and 1754 he moved with his second wife and five children to Martic. now Providence Township. His will written in 1754 shows that his children to the second wife were then under age. Those to the first wife were all married at that time. Jacob Huber divided the homestead in Earl Township between his two sons by his first wife. John and Martin, on Jan. 10. 1754. He moved to Martic Township, where he took up a tract of several hundred acres of vacant land, which he improved, and later built a grist mill which his son and grandson operated. In later years it was known as Strohm's mill.
