Jacob was baptized as "John Jacob" at Williams Twp. Congregation Church. The
sponsors were John Jacob Meixell andhis wife, Maria Verona.

Note: The baptism of Jacob Meixell in 1759 shown inthe translated and typed
records of the old Williams Township Congregation Church show his parents as
"Adam and Anna Margaretha Meixel". After considering the following observations,
it is believed that this "Adam" Meixel was, in fact, Johannes Meixell.

1. The name "Adam" Meixel has never been found in any other church
records, courthouse documents, tax lists, etc. in Northampton or Monroe
Counties or in Lancaster Co.

2. Courthouse documents prove that Johannes Meixell's eldest son was named
Jacob and that he was born around 1759.

3. Johannes Meixell's wife was also named Anna Margaretha.

Jacob served in the Militia in Chestnuthill Twp. under Capt. John Griggory
commanded by Col. Carn. His name appears on the muster role dated 25 September
1780 under Class the 8.
