John, 1. Bosworth's History of Randolph County from its Earliest is one of many sources which indicate that Conrad descendants believed the Conrad pioneers, Jacob and Ulrich, to be brothers. http://books.google.com/books?id=2jKxm9swFC4C&pg=PA332&lpg=PA332&dq=switzerland+%22ulrich+conrad%22&source=web&ots=xr4KKZLIKD&sig=BLKU6J8vCJPXULILfT9TaWiUpk0&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA336,M1<http://books.google.com/books?id=2jKxm9swFC4C&pg=PA332&lpg=PA332&dq=switzerland+%22ulrich+conrad%22&source=web&ots=xr4KKZLIKD&sig=BLKU6J8vCJPXULILfT9TaWiUpk0&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA336,M1> [You may have use the search option to find the citations for Ulrich Conrad if the link doesn't take you to the right page.] Also, some research with the ship passengers list will show Jacob and Ulrich did not arrive at the same nor on the same ship rather the "Ully" and Hans arrived somewhat earlier. 2. Ulrich is proven by probate activity to have been the brother and heir-at-law of Hans Conrad [heir-at-law would indicate that Hans - aka John - died without surviving children or a wife]. Therefore, if Ulrich was the brother of Jacob, so was Hans.
