Biography
Johann Jacob (Kinser) Kinzer was a Virginia colonist.
Johann Jacob Kinser was born in 1709 in the Duchy of Zweibrucken, Saarland, Germany (Hirstein near Wolfersweiler). He was a son of Bernhard Kinser (1689-1740) and Catherine Seibert (1689-1752).
Immigration: 30 Aug 1737 arrived in Philadelphia aboard the ship Samuel. On the ship passenger list, he is Johann Jacob Kintzer. On the list of immigrants who took the oath of allegiance, he is Jacob Kinser, age 28--i.e., born in 1709. NOTE: on the same passenger list is a Jacob Kuntz, who is sometimes mis-attributed as the person represented by this profile.
10 May 1744. Johann Jacob married Anna/Hanna Neumann (1717-1803) at Christ's Lutheran Church, Tulpehocken Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (today: Berks County)[1] Anna was a daughter of Walter Newman and Elizabeth Seidel. She was born Abt. 1724 in possibly Cecil Co, MD or Lancaster Co, PA, and died 02 Feb 1803 in Tates Run, Wythe Co, VA.[2]The couple had the following children:
- Walter (1746-1828) b. 21 Sep 1746, Lancaster Co., PA; d. 01 Jun 1828, Russell Co., VA. m Dorthea Barbara Brandstetter (1750-1820)
- Elizabeth (1748- aft. 1769) b. 05 Feb 1749/50, Lancaster Co, PA; d. Bef. 12 Oct 1844, Wythe Co, VA. m Johann Frederick Moore (1738-1768)
- Michael (1751-1808) m Catherine Elizabeth Kettering (1760-1848)
- Mary Martha (1754-1830)
- Jacob (1756-1816)
- Michael (1758-1822)
- John Peter (1763-1843)
- George (1764-1851)
- Anna Sibylla (1765-1833)
- Frederick (1766-1833) m Catherine Crigger (~1760-1820)
He died 1775 in Tates Run, Montgomery (Wythe) Co, VA.
Research Notes
The person represented by this profile is sometimes conflated with a John Jacob Kinser, who was born 2 Feb 1708 in Germany and died 26 Jan 1783 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. According to Garman's "On the Far Side of the Sea", this man is said to have arrived on the ship Saint Andrew Galley. More details about this person can be found at Find A Grave: Memorial #26237845
There remain a number of discrepancies about this person among the sources. Was he born on 25 Sep 1709 or 25 Jan 1709 (as is stated at FindAGrave)? The FindAGrave memorial cites a book called "On the Far Side of the Sea," by Charles Wayne Garman.
There is another possible confusion about when he immigrated. Most sources say he arrived 30 Aug 1737 aboard the ship Samuel, where indeed a 28 year-old Johann Jacob Kintzter is on the ships list and took the oath of allegiance as Johann Jacob Kinser. On the same ships list is an additional person--Jacob Kuntz--who is sometimes cited as the immigrant.
Thirdly, another man named Johann Jacob Kuntzler arrived 25 Oct 1738 aboard the ship Davey, and on that same ship was a Johann Nicolas Kinzer. Have these immigrants been refuted as possibly the person represented by this profile?
Johan was born in 1709. He passed away in 1775.

There are TWO Johann Jacob Kintzers who came to the US in 1737. This Johann Jacob sailed on the ship "Samuel" and was born 25 January 1709 in Wolfersweiler, Saarland, Germany. He son of Johann Bernard Küntzer and Anna Catharina Seibert. Source:"On the Far Side of the Sea" by Charles Wayne Garman
Johann came to America on the "Samuel" from Rotterdam. He arrived in Pennsylvania on August 30, 1737. Johann was 28 years old at the time. The Captain of the Samuel was Hugh Percy. (The spelling of Kuntzer was changed to Kinser by Captain Percy on his ship's mani-fest.) The passenger list said "Jacob Kuntz". Johann Jacob supposedly migrated with his father Hans Bernard, but his father isn't on the passenger list. Johann Jacob and Anna moved to Montgomery County, Virginia in 1770 or early 1771. He is listed on Walter Crockett's list of tithables. On December 14, 1774 Jacob had about 454 acres of land surveyed on Tates Run in Wythe County, Virginia. They lived there until his death in 1775 or early 1776. Jacob died without a will; however, Elizabeth (Jacob's son Michael's wife) and her children sold 100 acres to Curtiss Grubb in 1832.
