38. Jacob HORST was born on 31 Dec 1804 in Earl Twp., Lanc. Co., PA.49 He died on 9 Mar 1886.49 He was buried in Lichty Men Cem. nicknamed "Bauer Jake" or farmer Jake. Jacob HORST and Barbara Weber MUSSER were married on 18 Dec 1831.49 According to the 1870 census, Barbara age 18, and Mathias age 16 were still at home. In addition to the parents and these two children, there were two others living in the home. There was a Joseph Horst, age 63 who was probably Jacob's brother.He was listed as a laborer and had property worth $ 1800.00. This may have been part of an inheritance. Then there is a woman listed whose first name is Magdalena. Her age is listed as 68. Her last name is not very legible, but begins with the letter M. It might be Musser, which would make her Barbara's sister. According to my records, neither Joseph Horst, nor Magdalena Musser ever married. That may be the reason they lived with their brother and sister.
