Jacob (0Research) Hains of Pennsylvania
Jacob Hains was born in about 1715. Some researchers believe he was born in Chester Co PA. Also, Jacob was possibly born in the lands which would become Germany and immigrated before the birth of his children.
Circumstantial evidence links the Hains/Heyns Family to either the original Dutch colonists of New Amsterdam or the massive migration of Germanic Protestants to New York c. 1709 [Palatinate Immigration].
Jacob's son, John, would marry Lanah Devore.
Lanah's father, William Devore, was a descendant of Dutch immigrants to New Amsterdam. William is documented in his migration from New York through New Jersey to eastern Pennsylvania.
In about 1745 in Sussex Co NJ, Willem married Catherine Schoonmaker who descends from the Palatinate Immigrants to New York.
In about 1744 at Minisink, Bucks Co PA, Joseph Hendrickson Heyns married Lena Schoonmaker, sister of Catherine Schoonmaker.
There is a 1762 record for a Lydiea Heyns at the Dutch Reformed Church at Minisink PA.
Catherine and Willem Devore lived at Minisink until about 1772 when they migrated to Lancaster (now Bedford) Co PA.
In about 1740 in either Pennsylvania or HRE depending on his immigration date, Jacob married an unknown spouse.
Jacob is noted for being the father of John Hains of Bedford Co PA. There were probably three sons, Vandle, Joseph, and John. Vandle appears in the 1790 Bedford Co PA Census as head of household along with two other grown males. Joseph appears in the 1778 Cumberland Valley Twp Tax List. Nothing more is known of these sons.
Jacob died in Cumberland Valley Twp, Bedford Co before completion of the 1778 tax list.
