I believe these two men may have been brothers.Urlich being younger arrived in Augusta Co almost 10 years before Jacob (note could be missing records)They were listed on several court records "together" and lived very close to each other notice the naming patters on the girls.Later generations Jacob has a Urlich and Urlich has a Jacob.
