Somewhere along the way my GEDCOM dropped the "or" from "Jacob / John" Sorry for the confusion. Oh, I have seen a reference to our Jacob/John on the Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, PA census: http://www.pa-roots.com/~lancaster/census/cocalico1790.html. It fits about the right timeframe and I had seen other documentation that John/Jacob was from Lancaster Co, PA.
