The Ship
Hans Jacob, a weaver by trade, and his family headed for Rotterdam where they boarded the ship “Brothers” and landed in Pennsylvania in 1751. It is suspected that he either had family or friends here already as he purchased about 90 acres of land in the then Bedford and Lancaster Counties of Pennsylvania. Here the family remained until their move to Kentucky.
