I'm not comfortable with some of the children and marriages listed here, however, since they came from another researcher's nominally documented information.
Now to Jacob's wives:
Susanna Vogeli was born 5 aug 1784 probably Lehigh Co, PA, and died 29 mar 1847, in Mercer Co, PA. Sarah Vogeli was born 29 may 1792 in Macungie, Lehigh Co, PA, died 9 apr 1862, Mercer Co, PA.
Susanna married Johann Jacob Christman on 14 Oct 1803 in Longswamp Church, Weissenberg Twp, Lehigh Co, PA. Sarah married Johann Jacob's brother Johann George Christman, probably around 1810. Jacob and Susanna subsequently moved to West Salem Twp, Mercer Co, PA along with several other families from that area of Lehigh Co.
George died 12 dec 1840 in Lower Macungie Twp, Lehigh Co, PA. Susanna died 29 Mar 1847 in Mercer Co. Sarah (George's widow) married Jacob (Susanna's widower).
Sarah died 9 apr 1862 in Mercer Co, and Jacob died the next month, 22 May 1862. All three are interred in Good Hope Cemetery, West Salem Twp, Mercer Co, PA, Jacob between Sarah and Susanna. The headstones are in German script. I've visited the cemetery a couple times, but have been unable to locate church records for the cemetery (there was formerly a Good Hope Lutheran Church at the site, but it no longer exists).
