What it is and what it says
Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler, the Immigrant of 1736 (Elgin, Ill.: Brethren Publishing House, 1912). Other scan: archive.org/details/descendantsofjac0000revh_b3k8.
Christopher’s entries:
- Ramseyer side: #6527 John Hostetler → #6943 Christian → #6975 Nancy → #6976 Fanny Plank Schrock (“David Schrock … the son of Moses and Christianna (Gerige) Schrock”).
- Miller side: #2 John Hochstetler → #3062 Anna (Abraham Miller) → #3063 Sarah (Christian Nisly) → #3125 Susanna (John Slabaugh) → #3162 Magdalena Slabaugh (Samuel Kuhns), listing “Maggie, Apr. 6, 1890”.
- Chapters on Swiss origins, the 1757 attack, captivity, Joseph’s return, the 1776 heirs’ deed.
Correction: its “immigrant of 1736” (Harle) is a different Jacob; the ancestor came 1738 on the Charming Nancy.
