Jakob lived his entire life on the Wilensteinerhof near Trippstadt.

“Between 1790 and Aug. 1, 1797 Jacob took up the lease on the Frönsburgerhof at Lembach, Lower Alsace. The name Jacob Jordÿ, described as a "bestander auf demFrönsburger hoff," is found as a witness on the civil death entry of Carolatha Häberlin at Lembach on that date. His age was given as 39 and one-half years. He signed 'Jacob Jordÿ erbestander.' An Erbbeständer is a property owner with ownership rights that can be passed down by descendants as long as conditions of the overlord are met. At the same time Veronika/Veronique's brother Johannes/Jean Habecker and his wife Katharina/Catherine Schantz were living in the nearby Katzenthal, a valley outside the village but within the boundaries of Lembach. “

Other Events and Attributes:

• Religion: Amish Mennonite

Notes:

"The Amish Unzickers were originally named Hunzicken. The name comes from the town of Hunzicken in the Aargau in Switzerland. About 1830 Johannes Unzicker, an exemplary farmer and a preacher in Worsdorf, and his son Josef Unzicker wrote down several details about the origin of the family that had been handed down over time.
"According to this source, two brothers named Hunzicker, as very young men, came to the Palatinate in the 1670s with their father and grandfather as Anabaptist refugees. One brother then probably became the progenitor of the Mennonite (and later also Protestant) Hunzickers/Hunzingers in the Kraichgau and in Mannheim and Krefeld in Germany. At least two Alsatian (and therefore Amish) Unzicker branches are descended from the other brother; the beginning letter H was dropped in France, where it is not pronounced.
"The one well documented branch of the Unzickers comes from Worth in Lower Alsace (Bas-Rhin). There, according to Josef Unzicker's information, a father unknown up to now had five sons. Josef Unzicker, who listed his great-uncles, probably knew nothing about the sixth brother Johannes, who died at an early age and had been leaseholder in Graveneck together with Peter Unzicker.
"On the basis of the death certificate of the son Georg, it was possible to determine that the parents of these brothers were named Josef Unzicker and Maria Staufer. The other branch of the family also has its origin in Worth, where a Johannes, probably a cousin of the brothers in Worth, had at least two sons.
"It could not yet be determined whether Josef Unzicker in Nehweiler (Nehwiller) belongs to another branch or is also descended from Johannes. Many relatives from the branch descended from Johannes, as well as those from the brothers' branch, went to Bavaria, where they have numerous descendants whose genealogy has not yet been adequately researched."
