Notes for Jacob K Riegel
No birth record has been found. Birth date is based on age shown on the tombstone: 40 yr. 11 mo. 23 days.
He reported in the 1850 census he was born in PA, and that seems to be most likely. While most of his children reported the same when they had occasion to do so, some reported he was born in Germany.
Death date is from tombstone. No other death record has been found. The first probate document was filed 16 Oct 1857. Place of death is unknown, but he was living in Turbut Twp. so it was probably in Northumberland Co.
Spelling of surname is from his tombstone, which seems to be the one most commonly used in his time. Other records show other spellings, and his children used Reigel and Reigle, among other variations.
