- since George Friedrich was baptized in 1742, Jacob was obviously here
pretty early - before 1742 (plus about a year for courtin')
George Friedrich 1742, sp Friedrich Musser and Dorothea Friedrich Fug(in)
Maria Barbara 1744, sp Jacob Drumm and Barbara
Listed in The Allemaengel Road (from Berks County Genealogy Society):
died: November, 1756, ___ Stonebrook in Albany
captured: November, 1756, girl named Stonebrook in Albany
administration number 323, Northampton County
land in (then) Bucks County, 50 A, Dec 9, 1748
Captain Wetherhold made a list on Dec 27, 1757 of all the people killed and taken
prisoner by the Indians west of the Lehigh river, in the townships of Lynn, Heidelberg,
and Albany, which totaled 56 persons killed and 10 taken prisoners. In this list
under the date Novemeber 1756, is given the name of Jacob Staynbruck as
killed and Boldis Yeager's daughter taken prisoner.
An account of this occurence was brought to Bethlehem, November 30th, 1756, that
"john Holder came here this Evening, ye 28th Inst. Three Indians Came to the House
of a Certain Man Named Schlosser, and Nockt at the Door, the People within called
who is there?Answer was made, A good Friend; they within not Opening the Door,
they Nockt again, they within Answer'd Who is there? No answer being made from
Without, Then one of the Men Named Stonebrook, Lookt out of the window, when an
Indian Discharged a gun and kill'd him on the Spot. They then open'd the Door, the
Woman and two children Endeavoring to Escape, and the Indians pursued and took
Both Children; One of the Men Fired at the Indians, and Saw One of them fall, when
one of the Girls he had possession of, made her Escape from him, but the other they
took away; the Indian Y't was fired at which fell Cryed out very much, but in a Short
time he got up and made off.
The above Holder informs me he had this Acco't from good authority, said Schlosser's
house is situated in Allemangle.
One would think that Jacob would have had more children between 1749 and 1756 with
his new young wife. Perhaps they were daughters and escape detection?
the immigrant Steinbrüchel? is that this Jacob? But mine wasalready over here.
Note: from Burgert, Immigrants for N. Kraichgau, pg 385, Nicholas Weber married Eva
Barbara Steinbrook, d/o Gabriel in 1737 and immigrated to PA 18 Apr 1744. He was
naturalized 1765, Northern Liberties.
