Jacob married Mary Magdalena Gerhart(4/26/1759 - 3/30/1835) she was the daughter of Johann Peter Gerhardt and Elizabeth Schmidt. The children of Jacob and Mary are as follows Henry(1/26/1781 - 1/2/1872), Elizabeth(6/16/1783-), Catharine(5/9/1786-), John George(5/9/1791-6/23/1791), and Isaac(5/17/1793-).
