Misc. Notes
Jacob Over was a Mennonite in Uebersheimer, Germany near Worms (Davis, Richard Warren. Emigrants, Refugees, and Prisoners, Volume 2. Utah, 1997, p. 323-324). He left Rotterdam on June 21, 1729 aboard the ship "Mortonhouse" which arrived at the port of Philadelphia on August 19, 1729. It is believed that Jacob Over married Anna Maria (maiden name unknown) about 1729. Upon their arrival in America they first settled in Cumry Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. On October 15, 1756 he purchased 172 acres in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (Land Deed K-149b, Lancaster County Courthouse). He is taxed in Cocalico Township from 1751 to 1763. On June 10, 1763 Jacob Over sold his Cocalico Township farm to his son, Jacob Over.
Jacob Over's will was written on July 18, 1768 and was probated Apr. 1, 1769. It was written in German and the translation was found in Will Book Y, Volume 2, p. 500. Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Jacob Ober, a widower, in Cocalico Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. gave each son an equal part in his estate: Jacob Ober; Abraham Ober; John Ober; Henry Ober; Christian Ober. Jacob Ober, being the eldest son, was to receive an additional 5 shillings. Abraham Ober was to receive an additional 20 pounds. Abraham was mentioned as being a "weakling child" and can not buy or sell without consent of the executors. He was not to marry and if he did, he would forfeit his inheritance which would then be divided among his brothers. But should he remain single his four brothers would manage his money.
