I have the marr lic for these two and it looks like her name is Yeakey/Yeakel but researchers have said its Jeakey/Jeakel, do you find anyone in that book that might fit her family. I find nothing else but the marr lic on her anywhere. thanks for any assistance.
Jeakey, Mary Catharina, and William Smither, Burlington 1734 Aug. 5 New Jersey Marriages, Colonial Era, 1665-1800
lived Berks co Pa, Smither d there 1760, Mary then md Jacob Bachman, he d 1788, she was still alive acc/to the will as it named her, as the late widow of Wm Schmetter.

....also substituting the J for a Y too.
I do know she was German prob born there around 1711...trying to find her family and if you could help point me in some direction I would surely appreciate it, thank you.
I found an Andrew Jaecke arriving at the NY port on the ship IRENE on 22 June 1750 but no idea if hes related and can find nothing more on him. NS
