• Notes

  Jacob in Hulda's Hoover's sources is believed to be the 2nd son of Andrew, meaning that his birth date would have to be before 1752 when Andrew was born instead. It was normally the 2nd son that was named after the maternal grandfather in this culture, in this case Jacob Pfautz. Jacob was not a Quaker nor a gentle person. He was however, a very astute businessman who started by buying his father's gristmill. He became a very influential figure and was owed money by practically everyone where he lived upon his death. He owned 1000 acres by 1790. He was left crippled by injuries from a flood. He rebuilt the gristmill after it was destroyed by fire and it stayed in the family for more than a hundred years. His financial success is even more dramatic when considering that he owned no slaves nor hired any slave labor in his lifetime, obviously not believing in it. (C-2176)
