General Notes: Husband - Jacob Dambach, Jr.


On the 5th of May, 1835, he and his family landed in New York, having made the voyage in a three-masted sailing vessel in forty-two days. Proceeding west­ward by boat and wagon, the family finally found themselves in Butler County, Pennsylvania. With a fund of $400, Mr. Dambach purchased fifty acres of land in Cranberry township, and there living in a little log cabin, surrounded by the dangers and enduring the privations incident to the times, began to make for himself and family a home in the wilderness. He afterwards added to his farm by various purchases, and hired laborers to clear the land, paying two dollars and fifty cents per acre for grubbing. In due time he erected a commodious brick residence, on what is now the F. Meeder farm, the bricks being made on the place, and the highest priced labor employed in the erection of this house was the brickmaker, who received eight dollars per month.
He was a member of the Reformed church, and a liberal supporter of that denomination.
