Seeking info on Jacobus Deh (Jacob Day)
Jacobus was born approx. 1740, in Pennsylvania. He married Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) 1757, also in PA. They had six children.
Jacob, Hanna b. abt 1785, Sarah, Henry (Henrich) b. abt 1775, John Sr, b. Nov 5, 1783, in Virginia, and Amorah, b. 08 April 1787 in Winchester, Frederick Co. Va. d. 23 Nov 1853 Bethel Twp, Monroe, Oh., m. Elizabeth Bennett, b. 20 Jan 1794, d. 27 Jan 1866 in Bethel Twp, Monroe, Oh, her father was Sylvanis and her mother, no name.
Rumor has it that Jacob's father was Amris Deh b. 1720. It is said that the Deh family came from Germany but there is some information that says they may have come from Wales.
Comments
I have an Elisabetha Deh, daughter of Henrich Deh, who was baptised at New Jerusalem Lutheran Church in Lovettsville, Loudoun County, VA in 1810. In 1828 she married an ancestor of mine, John Ruse (Johannes Ruff in the church records) in the same place.
I suspect this Henrich is the son of Your Jacob Deh and would very much interested in sharing data and sources if you are willing.
