• Sources

  [S5] J.H. Beers & Co., Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania, (Name: Beers & Co, 1898;), 481. Jacob Kreider, was a well-known citizen in his day. He and his wife, Catherine (Smith), reared a family of five children — two sons and three daughters — Philip being the eldest. The other son, Jacob, died in 1811. [S54] REV. J.G. FRANCIS, HISTORY OF KREIDER FAMILY FROM PEN OF THE REV. J. G. FRANCIS.pdf, 8/9/1919. Jacob Who Died Young Jacob Kreider, Jr., was likely the oldest son and child of Jacob the Gelder, at the east end of the settlement. He is named first in his father’s will, he had died and guardians were appointed for the children. Jacob was born Dec. 20, 1778, and died April 30, 1812. His wife, Catherine Smith, daughter of David, m. an Orth, was born in 1782, and died, the obscure lettering seems to be, May 7, 1833. She was likely Reformed, for they were buried in the Tabor Reformed cemetery of Lebanon, likely became Reformed through the Orths, the Smiths being Mennonites. His will and his real estate transactions, if he had any, are likely recorded at Harrisburg, in as much as Lebanon did not become a county till the year after his death. From the date of his birth, 1778, he apparently being the oldest child, we may make a guess at the date of his father’s birth; we should say between 1750 and 1755, while the father’s father, Christian, was doubtless born between 1725 and 1730. We know nothing of the occupation or residence of Jacob, Jr. His burial at Tabor Reformed suggests that his residence may have been in the town of Lebanon, for his single daughter Rosanna who moved to Center county sold in 1850 property in Lebanon borough. The bodies of Jacob, Jr., and his wife, along with others, were a few years ago removed to the Mt. Lebanon cemetery. The guardians of Jacob’s children were Peter Smith, Joseph Romberger (or Bomberger?) and John Smith. The children were: Philip, went to Center county. Rosanna, went to Center county. Anna, went to Center county. Henry, of whom we have learned nothing, perhaps d. young. Elizabeth, b. July 25, 1812, after her father’s death; d. Oct 23, 1871
