Generation: 4

  1. 8.  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.

    *The sections of Frederick and Shenandoah Counties, where they lived, were very close together. This area later became part of Warren Co. when it was formed in 1836.

    See notes under William Harrison Santmyer
    In the 1790's Jacob served in the Virginia Militia in Winchester, Virginia." "The original spelling of this name was Zentmeyer. Jacob underwent the change to present spelling. This name has been, and presently is, spelled many horrified fashions. But the true spelling is the Anglicized SANTMYER from Zentmeyer as per Jacob in 1780." ............Glenn W. Santmyer

    *Present spelling is Santmyer, at least in my branch of Santmyer's, and also in Glenn's. Other branches spell it as Santmyers and Santymire. Of all the names in my Family Tree, this is the one name I have encountered with the most different spellings. Some spellings are so far removed that they are difficult to recognize as Santmyer. Spelling variations: Santmyer, Santmyers, Santmire, Santmier, Santmiers, Santmeyer, Santymire, Santemeyer, Santamyer, Santimire, Santingere, St. Myer, St. Meyer, Sauntmire, Sanbaire, Santaire, Saintmyers, Sanskrives, St. Moyers, Sandmeyer, Saulmire and Sandmeier.
