At the time of his son Conrad's marriage, he was 57, lived inGodramstein, and was employed as a baker. Both he and his wife attendedthe wedding and gave their consent. Everyone at the ceremony had totestify that "Johann" was part of his name because it had been left offof Conrad's birth certificate, and because of the confusion they all hadto swear that Jacob and no other man was the father of Conrad.
There is some confusion about whether he has a brother with theexact same name who was born on December 21, 1794, or if this isconfusion about his birthday.
