Family Records Page 247: “Jacob, born in Germany, possibly in 1743, died in Wentworth County, Ontario, and is buried in the Book Cemetery near Ancaster; however, the headstone is in such bad condition that the dates cannot be read. I do not know whom he married, when he came to America or when he went to Canada. He is probably the brother of Conrad,* who was living in Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1789, as mentioned in Robert Allison’s certification, which was attached to Conrad Book’s petition for land at the time he came to Canada. The first record in Canada is when he purchased land from Christian Almost in 1805.”

* Additional info from Paula Good (49091294) • [email protected]: Jacob Book 1743, was half-brother to Conrad Book 1747/1745 and half brother to John Book 1754.

Herbert V Book: Dec 1953 letter from Sarah Book Schwinck (desc. "John" Book 1754 Germany to Canada) "..first Definite info received about Jacob Book (1743 of Ancaster, Canada), so I will consider him as half brother of Conrad Book 1747 and John Book 1754."
