Says moved, with George, to Morrisons Love, Bedford Co, Penn. Collector of taxes, Woodbury Twp, Huntingdon PA 1791. IMM: Genealogy of the Brumbaughs by G Marcus Brumbaugh, Section E pg 349: (E1) Johannes Henrich Brumbach, the immigrant, and family arrived at Philadelphia on the ship Neptune, Capt Waire, #0 Sep 1754, sailing from Rotterdam and stopping at Cowes, England for provisions as was general custom during long voyages, filled with innumerable hardships. Pg 349-350: Jacob (Jockel) md abt 1760 and settled on tract of land near Funkstown--Hagerstown, MD near Johann Jacob Brumbach (a cousin-see Sec C of bk) and had 6 children. Abt 1766 md Elizabeth Baker (Engle?) and had 9 children. Abt 1787 Jacob and his brother George removed with the earliest pioneers to Morrison's Cove, then in Bedford Co PA (now Blair) and located near the Rebecca Furnace property, occupying a large tract of land. The predatory Indian outbreaks of 1778-9 caused all early settlers to leave, and these brothers returned to former homes on Conecocheague River in MD--perhaps also Antrim Twp Franklin Co, PA. After cessation they re-occupied their Bedford Co lands pg 350 [E2] JACOB2 BRUMBAUGH—" Jockel " (Johannes Henrich1) b Nov. 27, 1734; about 1760 m his first w, whose name is yet unknown, near " Funkstown " (Hagerstown), Frederick Co., Md., and there were 6 ch. from this union. About 1766 Jacob2 in (2) Elizabeth Baker ( " E n g l e " ? ) , and there were 9 ch. from the 2d m, making a total of 15 ch. Mr. David Brumbaugh4 Wineland [ E l l - X ] , 6 April 11, 1817, says that his maternal grandparents came into Morrison's Cove, Bedford Co., now Blair, Pa., about 1780, and settled on the farm now owned by Samuel Dilling. Jacob Brumbaugh appears in the 1786 list of taxables in Antrim Twp.,Franklin Co., Pa. This was in the " Conecocheague settlement,"a which extended also across the Mason and Dixon line into the Hagerstown, Md., region. A quotation is given concerning this settlement on the Maryland side of the state line: "The district (Conococheague) was one of the earliest settled In Washington Co., Md., and contained a portion of Lord Baltimore's reserved lands and manors. "Nov. 9,1767, the commissioners empowered by him offered these lands for sale at the home of Col. Thos. Prather in Frederick Co. The manor contained over 11,000 acres. The ancestors of the immortal author of ' Star Spangled Banner' were residents of the Conococheague district and Edmund Key owned ' Paradise,' an estate of 335 acres, ' Good Hope,' 300 acres, and ' Friendship,' 206 acres. He died ih 1766."b The importance of establishing the identity of the 1786, Jacob Brumbaugh, taxable in Antrim Twp., Frankhn Co., Pa., is evident. Messrs. Elias B—. Hartle [C117-1], Hagerstown, Md., and H. H. Spangler, Mercersburg, Franklin Co., Pa., made two searches resulting in finding the following deeds, and the latter further adds: "There is no will'on record, and no letters of administration were granted in his estate. His real estate probably was con- ------- "Historical Sketch of Franklin Co., Pa., McCauley, 1878, p. 136.

As you know, many old deeds have never been placed upon record." Replies have not been secured from the Frankhn Co. Brumbaughs covering this matter of identity.
