Johann Jacob is the farthest geneology trace of the Racke/Rake/Raike name that has been completed by Samuel Eugene Raike my nephew.

This is where it all starts.

No burial information known at this time.

The first document does not say anything about Johann Jacob Racke coming to America except for the statement "The inventory of Jacob Racke..."

The Family Group Sheet shows he died 4 Oct 1755 in Bayern Germany. The same document shows no date of death but location to be York, PA, USA. That is the reason for showing his death in the USA.
