Jacob Kolb, "the third named son of Dillman Kolb, was born in Switzerland, May 21st, 1685. On May 2nd, 1710, he was married to Sarah Van Sintern at Germantown, Pennsylvania. To them was born a large family, three sons and six daughters. One of these sons, named Henry Kolb, was married, May 10th, 1744, to Elizabeth Cassel. To them was born quite a family but names of all the children could not be given. We know the names of several, namely: Jacob, Henry, Yelles, Martin, Isaac, and Peter. Of the named sons, Martin (Have the information from old Mrs. Ziegler whose aunt was married to Jacob Kolb) was married to a Miss Schwartz and resided some twenty miles north of Skippack, Pennsylvania, where he died a young man, leaving a wife and family of three children, namely: Jacob and two sisters who were married and remained in Pennsylvania where their descendants are still to be found."

Notes:

Kolb, "This family is an old and numerous one; its members are far and widely scattered over all the states of the Union and Canada. A perfect list of the various families cannot be given at so late a date, neither is it possible that the present existing branches of this numerous family can be traced to their parent stem. The ancestors, namely Martin, John, Jacob, Henry, and Dillman, who first came to America, were sons of Dillman Kolb (One wishing to have a full history of the Kolb family will do well in procuring a copy of the 'History of the Mennonites' by Daniel K. Cassel, No. 4333 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., or a 'History of Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pa.' by James Y. Heckler, Harleysville, Pa.) who was born in Switzerland in 1648 and died in Manheim, Germany, in 1712. The first four named sons emigrated to America in 1707, and Dillman, the last named, came several years later. For some time after their arrival in America they resided in Germantown but finally they all settled in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, near Skippack."
