1. Jacob Hoch apparently immigrated with or after his sons. He is found in the 1850 census in the household of his son Gottlieb Hoch.

2. Gönningen Church Records state: "ist in America" (is in America).

3. There is no record of Jacob Hoch emigrating to the U.S., however,according to the emigration records in Stuttgart, Martin Hoch leftGermany in 1850 - the same year as his brother Gottlob. Since recordsand articles from Butler Co., PA show Martin establishing thebrewery, "together with Martin Reiber", in 1849, it is believed that heleft Germany without permission. It is very probable that the"Martin Hoch" listed in the Stuttgart Archives was really Martin andGottlob's father Jacob emigrating under false name.
