I've been reading various messages and realize that a lot of people are wondering where Jacob Petri was from in Germany.
After 2 years of continuous research I obtained copies from the Lutheran Archives in Bopard that show Jacob was from Schonborn, Germany (near Alterkulz) south of Bopard. He was born Jan. 24, 1723 (contrary to 9/1722) and baptized Jan 31, 1723.
He was the son of Johan/Nickel/Niklas Petri and 2nd wife Anna Margaretha Schall (of Biebern) and were married Jan. 1722.
Niklas died 11/1750 and is buried in Schonborn. Niklas' father was Johannes Petri, he died 1712. Johannes father was also called Johann and he died 1673.
I have copies of the following documents: baptism record of Jacob Petri; marriage record of Niklas and Margarthea in 1722; death record of Niklas in 1750;
marriage record of Jacob and Anna, 1747, Kutztown, PA, Mt. Zion Moselim Church; passenger ship list of the Loyal Judith with Jacob Petri's signature, 1743.
