Robert,
has anyone maintained the ZERBE website....?
IF so I would love to have an invitation to join...I will also check
MyFamily.com to see
if the site is still active.
In case not, here is my info, any clarification and additional info you can shed would be
greatly appreciated.
Jacob Zerbe born abt 1789 in PA
married
Susanna/Susan Hemminger born abt 1790,
They lived in Brecknock Township, Berks Co, PA...this according to both 1850 & 1860
Census info. They had the following children that I am aware of;
Isaac born abt 1827
Sam born abt 1830
William born abt 1836...he could actually be a son of an older son of Jacob and Susan
Zerbe...??
Jacob and Susan Zerbe also had at least one daughter:
Susan Zerbe, born abt 1813, she married bef 1842 to Daniel White of Cumru Townsip, Berks
Co, PA. I have NO info for Daniel's parents. Daniel White was born in PA...info from
Census records.
So questions are;
1. Did Jacob and Susan Zerbe have other children? Who did they marry, did another
daughter marry someone named Dautrich, as there were 3 apparent grandchildren staying with
Jacob and Susan in th e1850 Census all of the name Dautrich.
2. Who were the parents of Jacob Zerbe born abt 1798 and same question for wife of Jacob;
Susan/Susanna Hemminger parents?
3. I could not find Jacob and Susan Zerbe in the 1870 census, anywhere in PA...so I assume
they died prior to that census. Do you know when and where they died? Buried where?
I am happy to share any info I have for my branch of the Zerbe family...I have just
started this branch.
