I don't know much about Jacob's father other than I have a Peter Widmer born about 1698 in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, who was married to Anna.They had five children: Johannes Christian Witmer; Peter Witmer, who was born 1737 and died 7/3/1793 in Union Twp., Synder Co., PA and was married to Sarah Maria Sallome Schuett; Jacob;George Witmer, born about 1740 and Catharine Witmer, born about 1742/43. Peter Widmer parents were Johannes (Hans)Widmer and Katharina Graber.According to my info, Peter Witmer, brother of Jacob, would be my great, great, great grandfather.
I have my Whitmer family tree thru the LDS Pedigree Chart, so I think it is somewhat accurate.Have a little more info on Peter Witmer's parents, if this will help.
