I am running the Family-book of Schleidweiler - close to Trier - and typing in the family STEFFENS ( See please Nr. 553 with Catharina Reichertz Nr.224 .
Your Jakob Steffen is born on the same day as Jakob Steffens on 28.12.1838. May be he has emigrated to America. ( No hint is given in the church-book !
