Jacob Bär, also known as Baer, Bare and Bair had the nickname Whiskey[2]. He was born 15 NOV 1724, very likely in Pennsylvania[3][4]. Jacob emigrated to Brock's Gap, Orange Cty. (now Rockingham), VA in 1740 with his father Jagely Bär, mother Fronica Good and brother John Baer. His earliest known record was when he bought 400 acres in Brock's Gap in 1752 either 4 Feb.[5][6]. He married Anna Barbara Miller, daughter of Adam U. Miller and sister of Catherine Elizabeth Miller, who was wife of brother John Baer before 1750. They had 9 children: including Anna (Kisling), Elizabeth (Koogler) and Jacob.[7] Jacob was naturalized in either 1770 or 1774. He was a prominent person in area. Jacob was an Elder of St. Peter's Reformed Church .5 Miles NE of Elkton VA in 1767. At different times he was an appraiser of estates; witness to legal documents (usually deeds); and bought and sold various properties. On 9 NOV 1760 Jacob was added to tithe tables[8]. Jacob and Anna Barbara bought property from his brother for 20 [9]. On 28 Sept., 1764, he bought acreage from his father-in-law, in Orange Cty. (now Rockingham)[10][11]. He was an appraiser on 24 Nov., 1767 of Stephen Conrod's estate[12]. His name is on receipt for payment of deed in 1768[13][14]. Again in 1771 another property transaction dated 17 August [15]. On 18 Aug., 1770 Jacob is witness Augusta Cty., VA[16]. He was an appraiser of Henry Deck's estate, along with John Seller and Daniel Price in Augusta Cty., VA on 7 Oct., 1774[17].

Research Notes

No records have been identified that tie this Jacob to Jagli Bar of Hausen, Switzerland. Instead, could he have been the son of Heinrich Bar and Maria (Gutt) Bar (1683-1760) of Ottenbach, Switzerland?

According to Jacob’s gravestone, he was born on November 1, 1724. Joseph A. Waddell provides the German inscription: "Den ers: Novom: ist der Jacob B I geboren, aber der Gerechte ob er gleich zur Zeit auch slirbt, ist er doch in der Ruhe, dent seine Seele gefallt Gott da." And an English translation: "The first November is the Jacob B I born, but the righteous although he at the time also dies, is (he) still in (the) rest, for his soul pleases God there."[25] We know he wasn’t born in the American Colonies because he was naturalized. His brother John was said to have been born in Switzerland on his naturalization record. Jacob was on little Fork Run of the Shenandoah River in Virginia by 1752. He was an elder of the Reformed Church in Rockingham County, Virginia in 1767.

This information ties in fairly well with two brothers from Ottenbach, sons of Heinrich Bar and Maria (Gutt) Bar. The Ottenbach Reformed Church records of 1745 include the following information about three of the sons of this couple: Heinrich in Pennsylvanien, getauft Ottenbach 22 Dez. 1715; Hans in Pennsylvanien getauft Ottenbach 20 Nov. 1718; and Jacob getauft Ottenbach 7 Nove. 1723. [26]

The baptism date for Jacob lines up well with his birth date on his gravestone (a week after birth, which would have been typical). Richard Warren Davis (his “Family AA”) concluded that Jacob and his brother John were probably from Ottenbach or Rifferswil and were on the ship Francis and Elizabeth that arrived in Philadelphia on August 30, 1743.[27] That ship had passengers Johannes and Jacob Parr/Bär, ages 23 and 20 respectively, listed together. [28] Davis includes a lot of information about these brothers, and shows their father as “Mr. Bear (?Jacob or Heinrich), b. c. 1695,” but does not explain.

However, if this is Jacob’s family, why doesn’t the Ottenbach Church Book say that he was in Pennsylvania with John and Henry? And what happened to Henry?

Janes Evans Best, in a 1990 article, calls into question the conclusions of Willis N. Baer, who thought that Henry and John arrived on the ship Lydia, and that Henry became the husband of Barbara (Good) Bear (abt.1727-1812) (which does seem unlikely, since she was Mennonite and he was Reformed, and there are no known ties between the two families). [29] Best states that Heinrich and Hans Bar probably immigrated to Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. [30] Since Jacob is not found in Virginia until February 1, 1752 (when he bought land on little Fork Run of Shenandoah River from Christian Funkhousr, the earliest record found for him so far), could he have been in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania first? (They were definitely not on the ship Lydia in 1739, as those passengers were Bartho Rodolphus Barr, Hans Barr and Hendk Barr of Rifferswyl.[31])

This Jacob Bear-45, the son of Blasious Bear-515 and Esther (Unknown)-291706, is not the person as Jacob Bar-354, the son of Jagley Jacob Bar-198 and Fronica Good. Jacob Bear-45 was born in 1739 in Germany. Jacob-354 was born in 1724 in Pennsylvania.

Barbara Miller-1434 was born in Butler County, PA 1739. Anna Barbara Miller-13951 was born in 1726 in Rockingham County, Virginia. Jacob Bar-354 and Anna Barbara Miller-13951 had a daughter Anna Baer-658 (b. 1741 in Rockingham, Virginia) who married Jacob Kisling-18, the son of Christoph Kissling-69 and Anna Christina Lingel-45. Jacob Kisling-18 was born 1760 in Augusta County, VA. Anna Baer-658 and Ann Barbara Bear-788 ae not the same person.
