county, Pennsylvania, and they were the parents of 10 children. Jacob
died in 1803 in Surry county, North Carolina. Voucher #7930 in North

Also known as Johann Jacob Petri.
______________________
Jacob and Anna raised a sizeable family before moving to North Carolina.
They followed the path of both the German and Scotch Irish settlers of
western Pennsylvania who moved south along the "Great Wagon Road" seeking
affordable land. Records indicate that Jacob was a shoemaker, but land
records, estate papers, will, ect. after he reached this area, show that
farming was his primary occupation in this state. Land was the lure that
encouraged both Jacob and his adult sons to move from Pennsylvania. Early
records indicate that some of his sons may have preceded him here. Two
of his sons, John and Adam fought against the Chicamoga Indians defending
the colony just before the Revolution. Jacob provided supplies for North
Carolina forces and was reimbursed for this according to payment records.
Jacob and his son, John Henry were both patriots in the American
Revolution. Jacob and his wife were Lutherans. Jacob and Adam Geiger
received 100 acres as a land grant for the "German Church" (now the
Nazareth Lutheran Church in Rural Hall. Anna died 12 Oct 1790 and Jacob
died 3 May 1803. They, and at least one son and his wife, are buried at
the Nazareth Lutheran Church in Rural Hall, NC. Jacob has no marker, but
Anna Eva, Henry and Margaretha Zimmerman's grave are marked. Jacob Petree
and Anna Koehulin had 10 children.
