My wife is a descendant of Jacob Stutzman (1736-1813) through his son Joseph (1775-1802).We have quite a bit of information we would be glad to share.There is a family story that Jacob's father died on the crossing to America in 1752 and was buried at sea.To be allowed to enter America, Jacob (who was 16 at the time) had to be legally declared head of household as women could not be designated head of household upon entry to America at that time.
