Biography

Jacob arrived in Philadelphia on 30 Sep 1754,^[1] age 21, aboard the Brothers (with Captain Wm. Muir) from Rotterdam by way of Cowes.

He married Anna Moyer.^[1] Their children are identified as :

1. Jacob b.c.1755^[1][2]
2. John b.c.1755^[1][2] or 1771

1800^[3] : Three Detwiler men appear on the 1800 census in Montgomery, Franklin : Jacob (farmer), Jacob (miller), and John (farmer). These are believed to be Jacob and his sons.

Jacob died in Montgomery Township, Franklin Co., PA before about 1806. The administrators of his estate were John and Jacob, presumed to be his sons.^[4][2]

Notes

Mennonite Vital Records give that both sons were born c.1755. Information on John's profile indicate that he was born in 1771. If this is the case then there is a large gap between the boys - were there daughters in the family also?

It's likely there is some familial connection with Joseph Detweiler.
