It appears that our Jacob Straub b. 1732 in Germany, son of Johan Peter b.1699 has no further links that I'm aware of. Jacob Straub b. 11-8-1724 Baltimore County, MD, who moved to North Carolina is the son of Adam Straub, b. abt 1698. Diana, if you're still receiving the Straub postings, I hope you're doing well with your thesis because I hope you can find time again for the Straub family genealogy. Garry Heagy
