Notes

The family history published by Robert Porcaro et al^[3] discusses at some length the difficulty of confirming details of this family, given the many different variations in spelling of names. It's difficult to navigate this book or to locate references, but it does give that John "was born in 1691 in Oberalben, Kusel, Rheinland-Pfalz, Prussia (aka Germany) and died on 2 May 1775 in Lexington, Rowan County, North Carolina, USA", and identifies his children as :

1. Johann Jacob ("Old" Jacob) b.1717 in Bingen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany and d.1799 Rowan, NC, and apparently had administration of his father's estate.
2. Hans Jans b.1720 in Rheinland, Germany and d.1786 York, SC
3. John b.1722 in Rheinland-Pfalz and d.1775 Rowan, NC
