Cheska Wheatley at www.geocities.com/Heartland/6630/ has: Jacob CHRISMAN was born 4 May 1720 Rodan, Stewthal, Alsace. By 1742 he was living "beyond the Susquehana River on Codorus", York Co., PA. In 1745 he sold 110 acres in York Co., PA and moved shortly thereafter to Lebanon Twp., Lancaster Co., PA where he purchased 150 acres. He sold this tract in 1761 and moved about 1763 to Guilford Co., NC where he lived on the Reedy Fork of the Haw River. Jacob died there about 24 Jan 1785.

He married first on 1 Oct 1742 in York or Lancaster Co., PA to Barbara HECKENDORN (1718-1759), the daughter of John Heckendorn and Margaretha Jahry. She was a respected member of the Moravian Church. His second wife was Barbara KRAEMER and they married 11 Dec 1758.

Jean Sorenson has born in Rodan, Steinthal, Alsace. Died in Reedy Fork, Guilford Co., NC in Jan. 1785 she has came from Rothau, Bas-Rhin (Steinthal, in German), Alsace. Jean writes that David Huffines has that he died Jan. 24, 1784. Will proved 3rd Monday of August.

Jean writes, "Due to Indian uprisings in Pennsylvania the family moved to North Carolina in 1767--first to Hillsboro and then to Guilford Co. on Reedy Fork of the Haw River. This from David's notes."

Jean: This area of Alsace, where Jacob was born, is called "Steinthal" by the German people. The parish record books go back and forth from German to French. In Jacob's birth record he and his father are called Jaque.
