Notes

  • Note*: NOTE
    Debt owed to father's estate:

    On 9 Oct 1826 the executors of Jacob Seltzer filed an account listing a debt owed by son Jacob:
    "Bond Jacob Seltzer Jur. $4176.27
    Int. on the same 1482.54
    [total] 5658.81"2
  • Note: The compiler of this database could not find additional evidence about Jacob the son of Jacob - that is, there were other Jacobs, but no evidence tied them to the Jacob who died in 1825.

    Montgomery in his Seltzer sketch written in 1909 stated that son "Jacob married a Hassinger". This compiler could not find the Hassingers. (Not John Hassinger, 1821 Phil.)

    Noah H. Bradley, writing in 1992, states that the son Jacob married Elizabeth Hollenbach, and that they had three sons Jacob, Abraham and Joseph. There is clear evidence that such a couple existed, but no evidence is presented linking Jacob husband of Hollenbach to Jacob who died in 1825.3,4,5,6,7,8
