  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." Freyburg and Hanover are two different cities, however. 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.
