• Name	Hershey, Jacob  [1, 2, 3]
  Birth	11 Apr 1742	East Hempfield, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA   [1, 3]
  Gender	Male
  LifeSketch	Jacob Hershey Of The Third Generation, The Fifth Son Of Andrew Hershey Was Born In Hempfield Township, Lancaster County, Pa In 1742. He Married Anna Newcomer, And They Lived On The Farm Owned By His Father In Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pa. This Gives The Reason Why Jacob And Anna Newcomer Hershey, Went To Dauphin County To Live. We Know Not When They Went There, But This Land Was Not Deeded To Him Until 1791 By His Father Andrew Hersehy. The Following Spring, 1792, Jacob With His Family Of Six Children Moved From Derry Township,Dauphin County,Pa. To Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pa. There On The 9th Day Of May 1792, There Was Conveyed By Deed Unto Him His Heirs And Assigns A Farm Or Tract Of Land Containing 218 Acres By A William Morrison Of New Hampshire, Usa. Their Children, Six In Number, Were All Born In Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pa., And At The Time They Moved To Salisbury Township, Their Ages Were As Follows: John 20, Jacob 17, Christian 12, Elizabeth 9, Abraham 5, Joseph 6 Months. Moving Then Was Not So Quickly Done As Now; There Were No Railroads, No Trolleys, No Autos, No Improved Roads. They Could Travel Only By Horse And Wagon, Or Perhaps By Oxen, And It Took Several Days To Move Instead Of One As At The Present Time. Jacob Also Was A Prosperous Farmer As His Will Shows, For By The Time He Was Eighty Years Old He Had A Farm Or Tract Of Real Estate For Each Of His Six Children Then Living , For On The First Day Of May, 1824, He Conveyed By Deed, Property To Each One Of Them.
