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.

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

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).
