Jacob James Kuhn was baptized on 15 October 1772 in Christian Henrich's House AKA: Asperum Collem (Spitzenberg Hill). His sponsors were Jacob/James Kuhn, the father's brother and Elizabeth Eckenroth, Jr. (the mother's sister). (GR, page 47; "Records", Volume 3, page 324). AS indicated in the text, I believe Jacob was the first of John's children to be born in Berks County. On 26 March 1799, Jacob Kuh married Magdalen Kaln/Hahn/Haune in Conewago Chapel, Adam County (CR 1980, page M-34). Jacob died on 31 March 1825 and was buried in the Conewago Cemetery in April (CR 1980, page 20). His will, probated on 23 Decemeber 1828, Executors Peter Brichner and John Faller, named his ten children, all of whom, with the exception of Mary, were recorded in the Conewago Baptismal Registers: Catharine Kuhn brn. 22 December 1799; Theresa Kuhn brn. 2 November 1801; Margaret Kuhn brn. 22 October 1803; Eva Kuhn brn. 10 March 1805; Mary Kuhn brn.
