Immigration

Jacob II left Deustchland with his family when he was 6 years old (1766) family records say that he sailed to America from England.

Military Service

He fought with his father in the Battle of Oriskany in 1777 against British forces under St. Ledger. Their names are on the Battle Monument in Oriskany. He served in the 4th Regiment (Bellinger's) of the Tryon County Militia, German Flatts, Western District at Oriskany. Jacob is listed by the DAR as Jacob Clements who served as a private from New York. ^[7]He did receive a pension of per year. He enlisted March 12, 1777 and was discharged on March 12, 1780. Jacob fought at the Battle of Oriskany and went with the troops that followed Butler in his retreat through the northern part of Herkimer Co. when Butler was killed at "Butler's Ford" in the town of Ohio, Herkimer Co., NY.

Marriage and Children

Jacob apparently was married twice, according to Phyllis Smith Oyer's book, Oyer and Allied Families Supplement 1, Rochester, NY, 1994. In this book, it says that Jacob and his first wife, Eva Catharine Keller married in 1781 and had 3 children: Johann Jacob (note: this is our Jacob III), Appollonia, and Margaretha (Margaret).

It then says that Jacob married Eva Catharine Steinwax (or Steinway) on July 25, 1786. Their children were: Michael, Johannes, Daniel, George, Mary and Peter.

This could be in dispute as a source for Peter (the last of the seven children) lists Eva Catarine Keller as the mother. ^[8]
