• Notes

  Johann Jacob Joachim (Yocum) son of Michael Joachim and Anna Maria, was born in Herxheim, Germany circa 1733 and died 1822 in Catawissa, Columbia County, Pennsylvania. He married Maria Christina Mulhaus, daughter of Peter Mulhaus on December 30th 1755 in Lutheran Church, Trappe, Montgomery County Pennsylvania. Jacob and Maria's first three children were baptized at Augustus Lutheran church, 1756-1760. Their names appear in the records of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Pottstown, Pennsylvania in 1770, when their son Jacob was baptized and again in 1782 and 1783 when grandchildren were baptized. A 1785 record shows Jacob Yocum, wheelwright, owner of 235 acres,3 horses, and 3 cows residing in Union Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The 1790 census for Union Township lists Jacob as head of household consisting of 3 males over 16 years of age, 2 mailes under 16 years of age and one female. In 1796 Jacob appears in the first known records of the German Lutheran congregation in Catawissa township, Northumberland County (now Columbia). He continued to appear in the 1800 - 1820 Census records as a resident of Catawissa township. Jacob Yocum's will was written in German January 24th, 1822 and was probated on November lst, 1822 in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. His will was translated for recording in the Will Books of Columbia County at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. There are no known birth or death dates for Jacob and his wife Maria Christina. Their place of burial is assumed to be in the old section of the Union Cemetery, Catawissa Township, Pennsylvania. Jacob Yocum and his wife Maria Christina Mulhaus had the following children shown on their family page who are mentioned in his will. By Chuck Ebert
