  • Notes 
    • 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."
