Biography

Jacob (Bortner) Bordner has German Roots.

Jacob Bordner, son of Balthaser Bortner, was born in 1722. There is a record for a 1731 baptism,[1] but he was listed as ten years old when the family arriced in America in 1732[2] and he had already received a warrant to buy land in Lancaster county by 1740.[3] Jacob Bordner was the executor of his father's estate. On 10 April 1761, Jacob Bordner became a naturalized citizen of Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, at the Supreme Court of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On 20 June 1761, Jacob Bordner purchased the Bordner homestead from Thomas and Richard Penn. The homestead had been previously leased to Jacob Hoffman, who was unable to pay his rent. [4]

Jacob Bordner married Sarah Balt and they produced seven children: Jacob, John, William, Daniel, Peter, Anna Maria and Barbara. [4]

Jacob Bordner died in 1792 in Bethel, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States and his homestead was passed to his eldest son, Jacob. [4]

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jacob by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jacob:

Bortner-125 and Bortner-119 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same man. Apparently there is a 1731 baptism, but he must have been baptized as a nine year old because he is clearly reported as a ten year old on the 1732 passenger list and had a land warrant by 1740. Please merge.

Bortner-119 and Bordner-38 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, death, spouse, let's make our best choice of the birthdate and get these two merged.

Bortner-119 and Bordner-38 are not ready to be merged because: More research needs to go into this merge. Is (Bordner-38) the same person as (Bortner-119). I see nine (9) year difference between the birth dates of each of the persons.
