With his parents on 1850 census, Laurel, Hocking Co., Oh, age "5".[p 28 fam #405/414] On 1860 census, we are told he is 12.[p 156 fam #983/ 971] He married Mary A.

They have with them Ellen, age 3, born in Ohio; and Elmer, 1, born in Iowa.[p 406 fam #95/105] He also has in his home John Krickbaum, 39. We later find one George Krickbaum, b. 1873, married to a descendant of John Rittgers #1.3. We are told that "Jacob moved to an area by the North Loup River [Nebraska] in an area that became known as the Strohl Community. It is not a town. From what cousins living in NE now say the Strohl community is still there." [Frances Robertson] On the 1880 census for Nebraska "Unorganized Territory", reel 757, we find that Jacob Strohl, 32, is a farmer. He declares he b. Oh., to parents b. Pa. Wife Mary A., 30, declares she b. Oh. to parents b. Germany. She is caring for their four children.
