Jacob Brumbaugh Jr. (1760-1816) was the eldest son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh (1726-1799). He should not be confused with a third Jacob Brumbaugh, namely Jacob called "Jockel" Brumbaugh (1734-1816) who had lived in Washington County, Maryland, but died in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Jockel was one of the four sons-- Conrad, George called "Yarick", and Johannes der Strumpf Weber (John the stocking weaver) were the others-- of Johannes Henrich Brumbaugh about whom little is known. Johannes Henrich is thought to be a brother or cousin of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh (1726-1799) but documentary proof is lacking.

Jacob Brumbaugh Jr. served as co-administrator with his mother Mary Elizabeth Angle Brumbaugh (1740-1806) of the estate of her late husband Johann Jacob Brumbaugh (1726-1799). (It is only in recent years that this Johann Jacob's birth date in Germany is known-- it is Feb. 8, 1726 as shown by LDS microfiche of the German birth registers of Osthelden in Siegen, Westphalia.) Jacob Jr. settled the estate of his father by giving his mother her dower share, and then dividing up all the 3500 acres of real estate (13 farms; 1 in Washington Co, MD, and a dozen farms in Morrison's Cove, Bedford Co, PA) among the seven children. All this was done amicably.

Although Jacob Jr.'s wife Catherine Rentch was German Baptist Brethren ("Dunker") (her newspaper obit so described her), there is no known evidence that Jacob Jr. adhered to that faith (although his parents did).
