Biography
Please note that this profile is for the same as person A on the Stutzmans in Colonial America Wikitree page.
Johann Jacob was christened on 1 Jan 1706 in Kallstadt. He was the son of Johann Jacob Stotzmann (gnädigster herrschaftl. Hoffmann zu Weylach) and Regina Elisabetha.[1]
He passed away in 1775.
"Friday, the 1st of January in the year 1706 of the new year, to Johann Jacob Stotzmann, farm administrator (steward) of the most gracious Herrschaft (Lord of the Manor) at Weylach and his lawfully wed wife, Regina Elisabetha, a young son was born which on Tuesday, the 5th of January 1706 was baptized. ... The Christian name given was JOHANNES JACOBUS" (Kallstadt Kirchenbuch, p 156; English translation per Estes 2018). Jacob grew up in Weilach (near Bad Durkheim), along with his older half-brother Michael Müller II (1692-1771), a son of Regina Elisabetha from a previous marriage.
Jacob migrated to America in 1727 with his half-brother Michael aboard the Adventure, arriving in Philadelphia on 2 Oct 1727 (Strassburger 1934, v. 1, p. 15). Jacob married a daughter (Hannah?) of Michael Krehbiel (1680-?), shortly before or after migrating to America; she died in Pennsylvania without issue ("Information about Michael Krehbiel," citing research by Richard W. Davis).
Jacob and his brother Michael moved westward together, at some point joining the German Brethren ("Dunker") church. Jacob was a co-founder of the Little Conewago Dunker church (near Hanover PA) in 1738, along with Stephan Ulrich (Sr?) and Jacob Cripe. He married (second) Hannah (family name unknown) about 1740, and they had at least the six children named in his will. (Estes 2018)
In 1742 Jacob, along with several of his fellow Dunkers including Stephan Ulrich (Sr) and Michael Miller, were naturalized by "Affirmation" in lieu of the usual oath (Estes 2016). Jacob and Michael evidently explored buying land in Maxatawny Township, Philadelphia Co. (now Berks Co.), obtaining warrants on 2 Oct 1742 for land on Secony Creek; Jacob had his land surveyed but Michael did not, and both returned their warrants without claiming land (Philadelphia Co. Warrants, pp 40, 58). Jacob bought land in Little Conewago from Stephan Ulrich (Jr) in the early 1750's when Stephen moved southwest to the Conococheague valley just below the PA-MD border. Jacob later moved there as well; on 9 Mar 1761 he bought from Bernard Stuller 269 acres straddling the PA-MD border north of Stephen Ulrich's homestead (Frederick Co. Land Records, v. F, p. 1271).
In his will dated 15 Mar 1773 and probated 2 Jan 1776, "Jacob Stutsman of Peters Township Cumberland County and Provance of Pennsylvania" named as heirs "my Well beloved Wife Hanna Stootsman ... David Stootsman my eldest son ... Plantina Stootsman alus[?] Stoner my daughter and Jacob Stootsman my son and hana Stootsman alus Lear my Younger daughter and Daniel Stootsman my son and Abraham Stootsman my Younger son ... [signed] Jacob Stootsman [actually Stutzman];" the will was witnessed by David Davies, Stephen Woolery [Ulrich] and Daniel Woolery (Transcripts of Cumberland Wills, vol B pp 215-216, images 229-230; image of part of original will in Estes 2016). Jacob evidently died in late 1775; his widow Hannah subsequently married Stephen Ulrich on 25 Mar 1782. Jacob's burial has not been located.
Y-DNA There are just six Y-DNA results listed for the FTDNA Stutzman project, but they strongly imply that Johann Jacob Stutzman (1706-abt 1775) and Christian Stutzman (bef 1732-1770) were in different haplogroups, supporting the supposition that these men were unrelated.
Unused Material Jacob emigrated in 1727 With his father. He was journeyman Tailor. He was the first in his family to use the spelling Stutzman, in German it is Stotzmannen.
Note: Jacob was "outside the jurisdiction of the British Crown", SW of Hanover, York, PA. His will was probated 2 January 1776

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jacob by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jacob:

I am trying to clean up the profile of Christian Stutzman. It was created back when 3 different Christian Stutzman's from Berks Co., PA were thought to be the same person (due to the interpretation of Harvery Hochstetler in his book "Decendants of Barbara Hochstedler and Christian Stutzman"). This has since been resolved (see discussion on Stutzmans in Colonial America, however, due to both of these profiles being project protected, it has been difficult to finish cleaning up the old connections.
Specifically:
Hannah Stutzman belongs with this profile rather than with Christian's. There is no evidence that Christian Stutzman ever married a Hannah whereas Johann Jacob Stutzman seems to have married two of them. I am guessing she could be merged with Hannah (Krehbiel) Stutzmann.
This Jacob is not Christian's brother. The Christian and Jacob Stutzman that were brothers are persons C1 and C2 in Stutzmans in Colonial America. As such, this Christian (Christian-8) and Jacob do not share the same mother, and Regina Elisabetha Stutzmann is Jacob's mother, not Christian's. This research has been discussed thoroughly here: Johann Michael Muller and Johann Jacob Stutzman – Half Brother Saga, It’s Complicated
Additionally, land records suggest that Johann "Hans" Stutzman is the brother of Christian Stutzman, but I have currently only been able to link him to their mother Maudlin Stutzman and not to Christian.
Also, as discussed in the bio on Maudlin Stutzman, Maudlin Stutzman is not the same person as Magdalena Steck as had previously been assumed and her maiden name should be changed to Unknown. Also, there's no reason anymore to think that Christian's first name is correct. A more likely possibility might be Johann based on his son who went by "Hans". I think it would probably be best to change it from Christian to Johann to help people stop making the connection with Magdalena and Christian.
Thanks for your help!

The research of Richard W. Davis tells of a letter to one of her brothers in Germany, from one of her brothers in America notifying him of her death. Other researchers have named dau. Krehbiel as Hannah.

If there are no objections, we can change the LNAB. It should be done before the merge is completed.
"Note re: inflection of German surnames. Sometimes people will see a surname with an additional ending of -in, -(e)n, or–(e)s. These are not necessarily part of the surname but merely indicate case or gender. And it’s not always easy to tell, even for those familiar with the language, because sometimes what appears to be an inflection is (or becomes) a permanent part of the name."
All good to know. There are other Stotzmann(en) profiles that will need to be addressed. Some are orphaned profiles. I am happy to locate those and make the change to the LNAB.
When you would see 'Die Stutzmannen' it literally translates to 'The Stutzmanns'.
