General Notes: Husband - Jacob Negley

---

He was born at Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, and sailed for America in 1739, accompanied by his family, and his two brothers-Casper and Benjamin or John-and their families. He died while on this voyage and was buried at sea. His widow and three children came to America and settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. One brother settled in Maryland, the other on the banks of the Delaware, where Negley's Hill is commemorative of this event.

Jacob Negley married in 1734. Five years later he set out for America with his wife, and three children-Alexander, Casper and Elizabeth. He died at sea; his family settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
