Thank you Dwayne, I really appreciate you sharing your research with this list. My question is: how does Franz Graff connect to Jacob Graff who died in 1776? Debby Bliss, a descendant of Peter Eichenberg and Fronica Graff

Debby, Franz Graff and Jacob Graff are probably not related. Franz Graff emigrated from Rafz, Zurich, Switzerland, with his widowed mother, Verena nee Neukomm, in 1744. Hans Graff, father of Jacob, was also a native of Switzerland. He immigrated to Pennsylvania sometime between 1699, when Jacob was born, and 1709, when Jacob was recorded by two Lutheran clergy as having been left behind by his father. Jacob was the first person in his line to become Brethren. As for Franz Graff, his family connected with the Conestoga Brethren through his second wife, Eva Hammacher.
