Notes - Jakob is a hired hand of Anabaptist Ulrich Gundelsperger, leaser and operator of Salingsmuhle near Kaiserslautern in 1738/9, married to a widow Zug. Later he lived at Branchweilerhof estate. He emigrated with his family to America in 1742.
“Between 1635-1645, a series of letters were written from Zurich to fellow Anabaptists who had left for the Netherlands. these letters to the exiles give a window into the suffering of the Anabaptists who remained in conton Zurich. One letter was about Jacob’s ancestor Heinrich Gut: This aged man was caught in the office at Klonau and was led to Zurich and placed in jail at Oetenbach where he suffered much because of lack of food and drink. There was no one to show him love, and he became a sick man and fell asleep in the Lord October 25, 1639.” [1, 2, 3]
