Details about Jacob’s life are not plentiful. At the age of twenty he married Anna Maria Lehman. He served in the Revolution as a member of the Pennsylvania Militia. It appears that he served alongside his brother, John Heinrich, in the 4th Company, but 2nd class.

The burial location of Jacob and Anna Maria is unknown. Most likely New Hanover, but stones lost to time.
