Johann Jacob Zettelmoyer ¹

   FamilySearch ID: L8B8-GBF.

  Death Notes:

These are comments from Harry Smith, the author of The Settlemeyer Page:
His date of death has been generally been reported to have been 5 Oct 1775, but I believe that he died in January 1775 because the witnesses to his will appeared in court to prove the will on 20 Jan 1775 and 4 Feb 1775. Clearly he must have died between 22 Dec 1774 and 20 Jan 1775. The October date seems to be based upon his tombstone which reads:
HI RUET IACOB
ZETELMEIER
D V OC 1775 (the grass hides the "D")
The final line has been interpreted to read "Died 5 Oct 1775." The German for "here lies" is "hier ruht." I have yet to locate an explanation of the abbreviations or initials in the third line. As I examine the photograph that line may actually read "D·V·O·C· 1775." I have not been able to determine just what that means.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Occupation: shoemaker in 1726. ¹

2. He immigrated on the ship Neptune on 24 Sep 1751 to Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. ^{1 3} Two lists of passengers from this ship were recorded, one on 23 Sep 1751 which included Johan Engel Bucher and Johan Henrich Bucher (found elsewhere in this genealogy tree) and one on 24 Sep 1751 which included Johann Georg Zettelmeyer. The irony: in 1905 two of their descendants would intermarry in Schuylkill County as Benjamin Beacher and Bertha Snyder.

  Marriage Notes:

Jacob married in Bad König on 13 Aug 1726 to Anna Margaretha Barbara Eichelbauer. The marriage record tells that he was a master shoemaker. It also mentions that the father of each had already died:
On 13 Aug 1726 Master Johann Jacob Zettelmeyer, shoemaker in König, legitimate son of the deceased Beysitzer Georg Zettelmeyer in Dorf Erbach, and Anna Margaretha Barbara, legitimate left-behind daughter of Johannes Eichelbauer deceased, formerly a miller and citizen here in König. ¹
