Jacob is mentioned quite often in in Berkenmeyer's Albany Protocol (p. 166, 193, 205, 217).

Research Notes

This person (b. ~1693) should not be confused with his younger brother, who was named similarly as Johann Jacob, born 20 Oct 1704. Henry Z. Jones notes, "it was common in this time-frame to have children baptized with similar names, i.e., Jacob and Johann Jacob." [8]

Perhaps a few of the entries on Governor Hunter's subsistence lists are attributed to this Jacob (the son), rather than Jacob the father.[9]

I believe his dob is 1691 based on baptism record - see image Lutheran Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1500-1985 [database on-line]. image page 138

Schaeffer-375 and Schaeffer-370 do not represent the same person because: If Schaeffer-375 is the guy from Baltimore (as named in the "source" attached to his profile, then he is different from Schaeffer-370. I will update -375 with more info and sources. He should be detached from his parents--hopefully we can find some of his descendants on Wiktree and connect Jacob -375 to them

Schaeffer-375 and Schaeffer-370 appear to represent the same person because: Suspect that as the birth place is clearly wrong on Schaeffer-375, the birth date is probably wrong as well. I would disregard the unsourced birth date & place on Schaeffer-375 and merge this profile into Schaeffer-370.
