2. | Jacob SANTMYER was born Abt 1762, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania (son of Johann Bernhard ZENTMEYER and Catharina LNU); died Abt 1816, Shenandoah Co., (now Warren Co.) Virginia. Notes: Jacob and Jane moved from Frederick Co. to Shenandoah Co. after 1794 and before 1810.* Jacob served in the Virginia Militia from Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia in the 1790's. He possibly served in the Revolutionary War. As only Jane signed the marriage permission for Barney in 1816, it is a strong indication that Jacob had died prior to that date. Jacob married Jane KNAPS 20 Jul 1794, Frederick Co., Virginia. Jane was born 1767, Virginia; died 19 Jun 1855, Warren Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet] |

Virginia; was buried Santmyer Cemetery, in an unmarked grave. Notes: There is much additional material about Bernhard on the York Co. page. Johann married Catharina LNU Bef 1760. [Group Sheet] |
5. | Catharina LNU Notes: We do not have a surname for Bernhard's wife. She was identified as 'Catharina' both in the birth record for her son Johannes in 1763, and as a baptismal sponsor with Bernhard for Anna Margaretha Geister on 7 Aug 1760. This dates their wedding to around 1760 when Bernhard would have been twenty years old. Notes: The 1760 marriage date is from a birth record for Anna Margaretha Geister, which lists Bernhardt Zentmoyer and Catharina as sponsors.
