  • Notes 
    • 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. “ [6]
