Jacob RUFF m. 20 Sep 1774 to Caterina HELM at New Hanover Lutheran, (Falkner Swamp), Philadelphia Co. (now Montgomery), PA. Jacob arrived on brig "America" in 1771but where did he come from in Germany. Who were parents of Caterina and when did they come. Did Andreas MUEHLSCHLAEGEL s/o Friderick (who arrived on the "Samuel" in 1732) marry Anna Maria EMMERT abt 1752/3 at New Goshenhoppen Reformed, Montgomery Co. or was it Joh. Andreas MUEHLSCHLAEGEL schoolmaster from Weidental, Lachen-Speyerdorf, Germany who arrived on the "Patience" in1750. It is said Jacob GROFF was b.7 Oct 1743 in Lancaster Co., PA but where did that information come from; was it a church register, and if so which one. Who were his parents and siblings. There must be 50 Jacob GROFFs in sw Pennsylvania. These are our stonewalls. Can anyone help us?
