Hello, I am responding to quite an old post. You mention you have 20 years on your Jacob. He may be the brother to my Hans Peter Beissel b. 1726 arriving on the ship Samuel in 1733. I have been looking for documentation on the date of death for the father Johann Peter Beissel b. 1688. Some have posted his date of death as 1770 but I have found no one with documentation. Hope you are still on Ancestry to see this posting. Nancy Bisel Sims, kinkeeper@kc.rr.com
