  • Notes 
    • Name Suffix: Senior

      Note that Jacob and some of his kids signed theirnames "Conrath". The spelling
      settled on "Conrad" after the second generation.

      note - Jacob was in the Reading area before going to Augusta (see notes on
      Nicholas). And Jacob Jr was baptized in Reading in 1765. Not in 1767 tax list.

      will 2:179

      The following may be really be the Jacob of Montgomery County who shows up once
      in Reading. (No, land application shows Jacob of Augusta was in Oley in 1769.)

      1767 tax list, where?
      1768 tax list, Oley, smith, 1C, $1 (Jacob Kunrad)
      1770 tax list, Oley
      1771 tax list, Oley
      1772 tax list, Oley
      1773 tax list, Oley

      PA Land Applications: NP-1803, Jacob Conrad of Oley, 3 Apr 1769, for 300 Acres in
      Augusta. Survey F-232, and C-61. by Frederick Hill of Oley.

      Any relationship between Jacob Conrad and Frederick Hill? They bought
      land next to each other at around the same time. Did they live nextto
      each other in Berks? Adjoining land is shown on map of Warrnt C-21, pg 192.

      Is this the same Jacob? Jacob Conrad application for 100A, Tulpehocken,
      Berks, 5 Aug 1765, ES-54 (Jacob of Tulp is probably different, see below)

      (1773 is last entry for a Jacob in Oley. However, one also starts in Tulp in 1774.)
      (it's not clear who the Jacob Conrad in Tulp was. In 1785, he's listed as a non-resident, suggesting that Jacob lived somewhere else but payed taxes onland
      owned there).

      (Jacob of Tulp signed will of Adam Diefenbach, 1772, asJacob Conrad).

      1787 Augusta Twp overseers: Jacob Conrad and Adam Renn (Bell's History)
      1788, appointed to investigate another road

      1790 Census, pg 192, Northumberland Co, 4-1-4
      1800 Census, pg 661, Augusta Twp, 00201-01101-00

      1808 triennial assesment in Sunbury, Walnut St, log house and stable, owned
      and occupied by Jacob Conrad

      1810 Census, pg 217, Sunbury, 00001-00000, Gentleman (farmer?)

      deed M:513 has Jacob Conrad selling land to Nicholas Shipman in 1803. Jacob is
      "of Augusta" and signs it "Jacob Conrath". a witness is Jacob Conrath Junr.

      will mentions:
      Nicholaus
      Jacob
      Peter
      Henry
      John
      Mary w/of David Mehligh
      Elizabeth w/o Jacob Stenbrook
      heirs of Susanna who was w/o George Hall
      Catharine, w/o George Long

      The original will is signed "Jacob Conrath" and looks much like the signature of Jacob
      Conrath on the Boston in 1764. (compare J and C)

      sp - 1765 Adam Schlegel and wf Christina and ForstLudwig

      sp (Jacob Conrad and M Margaretha?) -> 1766 Carl Ludwig Boley and Elisabeth
      (nope, this is the one from Montgomery Co, PA!)
      (But note a J Carl Boley on the Boston in 1764 with Jacob Conrath!)

      note a Carl Ludwig Boley is in LDS records of Alsenz, Pfalz, Bayern
      worldconnect shows went to Frederick Co, Maryland? (Charles Boley?)

      DAR application 718880 (via Peter, Jacob, Daniel, etc) (Patriotic Service)
      SAR application 82830 (via John, George, etc) (incorrectly assumes service in Lancaster!)

      In PA Magazine of History and Biography, Hist Soc of PA, 1914, Vol XXXVIII, pg 121
      3 Jul 1772, Jacob Conrad applies for lot 115 in Sunbury. He needs to take out
      a patent and execute a duplicate in usual manner within 6 months from
      application, otherwise it's void. He must erect a dwelling house within 3 years,
      20 foot square at least, brick or stone chimney. Otherwise the patent is void.

      From Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 705
      ...Jacob and Adam Conrad are shown by the records to have
      been taxables in Augusta township, Northumberland county, in 1774. In
      thematernal line Mr. Conrad is a member of another p
