Jacob Umland

1786 - 1857  (70 years)

• Name	Jacob Umland
  Relationship	with Gustave Jean Baptiste Pitard
  Born	26 Jan 1786	Germany
  Gender	Male
  Occupation	furniture maker, esp. coffins
  Died	2 Jan 1857	Chappell Hill, Washington Co., Texas
  Notes	Jacob and his wife were the owners of a chest, mirror, and swing box which still survive. He sailed to Texas on April 16, 1853, and was called the "pioneer father." They brought "the chest" made by his grandfather. Family notes say that he and his family were from "Freyburg, Hanover, Germany." The baptismal records are from “Freiburg, Kehdringen, Hannover, Preußen.” This is not Freiburg im Breisgau, but is rather in the north in the area called the “Elbe-Weser triangle.” I don't know why there are two children named Erich Christian; there mau be an error in the notes, but I can't trace what it might be.
