Notes - German genealogist Herbert Holly has discovered a birth document that suggests Jacob may have been the father of an illegitimate son. The document describes a newborn child, named Peter Jordi, was born to unmarried mother Katharina Ringenberg on 8 Aug 1834. She alleged the father to be Jakob Jordi, an unmarried Mennonite from Freindorgerhof near Mitterfels. Katharina was born on the Samhof at Friedrichshofen, but was presently living at Josephenburg. Child Peter was baptized by the Mennonites, but later in 1871 was baptized as a Catholic.
Forty years later, shows Jakob was named in another document:
“Grünthal on August 18, 1874
With the return of the received letter from the royal. District Office Hemau from the 4th of the month with the subject is reported as follows on the basis of the declaration of the farm owner Jakob Jordy from the Pentlhof: 1) From 1841 to 1853, the intended Jordy was 12 (?) years old as an economic tenant with Mr. Neuffert in Eichhofen. 2) His children born in Eichhofen are: a Maria Jordy b. on January 8, 1842 b) Elisabetha Jordy on September 15, 1844 c) Magdalena Jordy on September 25, 1847 d) Anna Jordy on February 16, 1849 e) Jakob Jordy on October 5th, 1852 f) Barbara Jordy on December 14, 1853 drawn to the most gracious awe Stadtamhof on August 20, 1874 Lehnert There is still to be researched when Jakob married Jordy and where he lives.”
“Jacob Jordy is presumed to be a member of this family [sibling to Peter, Christian Yotty and Pilippina] based on circumstantial evidence. As Gary L. Yordy discovered, 'Jacob Yordy' and 'Magdalena Shants' were named as parents on the (Tazewell County marriage license) of Barbara Yordy, the third wife of Christian Eigsti (see the supplemental genealogy EIGSTI). The marriage ceremony took place in the Woodford County home of Peter Yordy, who was thought to be Barbara's uncle. }
————————
From 1841 to 1853 they lived as tenants of the Neuffert family on the Eichenhofen estate at Nittendorf, a village seven miles west of Regensburg, Bavaria. From 1856 until 1874 widower Jacob lived on the Pentlhof estate at Zeitlarn (five miles north of Regensburg). } [3, 10, 11, 12, 13]
