Biography

Jacob Weber has German Roots.

An on-line page, "My Teeter Lineage", referenced below, says he was Johan Jacob Wever/Weber born 12/27/1694, but no original source was given. Can anyone provide that source?
Merged profile Weber-5523 gave birth date as April 10, 1701 in Hinzweiler, and name as Johann Peter, but no original source was given.

Jacob Weber was the son of Hans Jacob Weber, a fact found in the records of the Reformed Church in Hinzweiler, Germany. Hinzweiler, once a part of the Duchy of Zweibrucken, is now in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. Jacob married Anna Cecilia Reichard on April 17, 1720 in Hinzweiler. She was the daughter of Dieterich Reichard and Maria Saloma Reichard of nearby Essweyler. The baptisms of nine of their ten children are also in the Hinzweiler Reformed Church records. In 1742, Jacob Weber brought his family to North America, arriving in Philadelphia aboard the ‘’Robert and Alice.’’^[1] At least three of his children had died before that trip. ^{[2] [3]}

The family was first in Philadelphia and then bought land at Cook’s Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. ^[4]

Jacob died there in 1744; an inventory of his “goods and chattels” was dated March 6th. A Letter of Administration was granted to his “widow and relict” Anna Cecilia Weaver, which she signed “Anna Cecillia Weberin.” ^[5]

Researcher Linda Bloom Rossi writes the following about the inventory.

Jacob was a tailor, and the inventory of his estate reflected that trade: ribbons, bobbins, tapes, and over 200 yards of different fabrics made up more than half the listing. It would seem he did a rather brisk business to have warranted his investment in such a large inventory of “shop goods”. ^[6]

His burial place is unknown.
