Notes |
- Jacob Kolb, "was born April 17th, 1781. When he was a young boy his father died and then he was adopted by his uncle, Henry Kolb, who raised him, and after leaving school he served his apprenticeship as a gunsmith, which trade he followed even to the last years of his life. (Many of the old guns and rifles in this county are the make of old Mr. Kolb) In 1803 he was married to Catharine, daughter of Abraham and Mary (Steiner) Clemens. She was born May 21st, 1782, and died January 25th, 1869. After their marriage they resided in Hilltown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for quite a number of years where he carried on a well-paying business at his trade. In 1819 or maybe a year or so later, they moved to Canada and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, about a mile below Preston, towards Galt. Here they resided until 1826 when they settled on the west bank of the Grand River, opposite Breslau, on the farm now owned by their grandson, Joseph Kolb. When a comparatively young man he was ordained as a deacon of the Mennonite Church for the Cressman field of labor. He died January 3rd, 1869. To them was born a family of three sons and three daughters"
