Jacob's wife Sophia Louisa was the daughter of Jost Bock, gardener at Ohfenbach am Mayn (63067 Offenbach am Main). On July 27, 1707 she married Henrich Bachman, a widower at Duttweiler, in the Duttweiler Reformed Church. Henrich died on May 21, 1714, age 31 and was buried May 22, 1714. [2]
Sophia's son with Henrich, John Henrich, born September 7, 1712, was also on the Snow Luther in 1731 with his mother and stepfather, and later appears in the records of Casper Stoever, Muddy Creek Reformed, and Swatara Reformed. [3]
In 1731, Jacob and Sophia Brunner left Duttweiler for Pennsylvania, arriving in Philadelphia on the snow Lowther. [4]
