Jacob and Hannah had 10 children. I have a newspaper clipping about an old family cemetery for this line virtually disappearing. Elias Hicks, Quaker preacher, is of this line and a large number of Jacob's descendants were Quakers (see "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol 3) From Jim Hicks file - Buried Far Rockaway, NY in "Old Hicks Plot'
