Notizen zu dieser Person
Jacob Grieb, originally from Baden-Baden, lived in Germany near the sea. According to oral tradition, Jacob, a cooper by trade, may have killed a college student who slipped into his shop through a narrow opening. As a cooper, he had a long, heavy knife with a cord attached. He usually threw this knife into whichever pole he wanted for making hoops and pulled it to him. He threw his knife and may have killed a student. The ship, Brigantine Richard and Elizabeth was sailing for America and he slipped aboard unnoticed until the ship was at sea. He arrived in America on September 28, 1733, at the age of 21. Jacob married a German woman, Elizabeth Ulrich and had a family. It is likely that Jacob heard the preaching of the Dunkers who stressed "Thou Shall Not Kill". Perhaps his conscience troubled him and he sought pardon by entering the church. In 1765, Jacob and his family joined the settlement of Dunkards at Franktown, Pennsylvania (seven miles southwest of Altoona, Pa) Jacob had 150 acres in Lancaster Co. Pa. in 1743 and by 1776 had 700 acres in Bedford County, Franktown Township, Pa. After the American Revolution the land around Franktown became higher priced. The Dunkards moved to the rich, level woods of Ohio, settling in the Miami Valley , west and north of Dayton, Ohio during 1798-1800. Jacob did not move to Ohio but died in Pennsylvania in 1801. The original will was translated from German into English by L.W. Shultz.
