   page 99: "Name: Johann Jakob Brechtel Year: 1737 Age: 47 Place: Pennsylvania Family Members: Wife Source Publication Code: 8667.12 Primary Immigrant: Brechtel, Johann Jakob"

5.   Johann Jacob Brechtel presumably married (2) Mary Margaret Unknown c. 1720 (in another church), they had daughted Margaret (about 1722) and then Johann Jacob Jr. - so a good estimate for his birth would be about 1725. These records are indexed on Family Seach Pilot Site (pilot.familysearch.org)
6.   Presumably Johann Jacob Jr accompanied his parents and siblings when they came in 1737, first to Pennsylavania and then to Virginia where Johann Jacob Sr. first appears in the records of Frederick County by 1749.
