Biography

ISAAC KOLB, son of Jacob Kolb, an immigrant from Europe and son-in-law of Andreas Ziegler, was a pioneer minister in the Skippack, Pa., congregation. He became the first resident minister and bishop in the Rockhill congregation, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was ordained to the ministry in 1743 and in 1761, he was ordained a bishop.
