Jacob Schlegel was born June 10 1723 in Lancaster, PA, and died before April 9 1790 in Berwick Twp., York, Pa. He married Mary Catherine Klein May 6 1746 in Hanover, York, Pa. She was the daughter of Johann Nicholas Klein and Catherine whose last name is unknown. They were the parents of 12 children. She was born February 26 1729 in Germany, and died March 18 1775 in Lancaster Co., Pa
Jacob’s father was Christoph Friedrich Schlegel, who was born October 24 1676 and died about 1772. He left Saxony for America between 1697 and 1700 first settling in Germantown, Pennsylvania. It is speculated he was associated with Pietism, a revivalist movement in the German Lutheran Church and that he came to North America for religious freedom. Some genealogists suspect Christoph was even a member of the secret Rosicrucian Order. On May 15 1718, Christoph married Ann Maria “Mary” Eyster, daughter of the German Immigrant, Johann Jaqcob Eyster. Mary and Christoph were the parents of a dozen children by some accounts. Christoph later moved from Germantown, southward to the Susquehanna Valley. He is believed to have built the first water mill within the Susquehanna watershed.
Someone tracing his movements and land purchases, during his lifetime, would find he was quite wealthy. The inventory of his estate is said to be one of the seventh largest in the colonial period.
Jacob married Mary Barbara (last name unknown) on June 25 1776. Jacob fathered and additional 7 children by Mary Barbara before his death in 1790. Mary Barbara married Jacob Stine and apparently moved to Frederick County Virginia. Jacob Slagle's will was recorded in Berwick Township October 22, 1789 and proved April 10, 1790 Executors: Jacob Rudisell and Henry Slagle. Wife: Barbara Slagle.
Children: Christopher, Louise m. Mathias Smisser, Susanna, Jacob, Helena m. Conrad Sherman, Magdalena m. George Eyster, George, Catharine m. Godlip Smith, Salomy, David, Christiana, John, Mary, Gloria, Joshua, Elizabeth and Eve (my GG Grandmother).
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
