| Notes |
- Location of Nieman's Cemetary
In the early 1900's, what was once a dirt road, became Route 74 orCarlisle
Road. At that time the road went down the middle of the cemetery. Instead
of changing the route to go around the cemetery, they moved the graves and
grave markers. They made a very neat looking cemetery, placing the head
stones in perfect rows. We know that the grave stones were placed inperfect
rows, for appearance purposes, but we can not confirm that the remainswere
correctly placed under them. They didn't follow any order when they moved
the graves and stones, anyone can be anywhere and beside anyone.

_______________
I've been pursuing the idea that Jacob was the son of Benjamin & AnnaMaria.
There was also a John George Welkmer, Jr. born in 1797 to Sr. andCatherine
source 331-414 - Zieglers Lutheran/Reformed Church (N. Codorus Twp)
Wondering if Jacob and Benjamin may have been brothers, but George (b.1812) might not be...
Looking more like George and Benjamin were brothers and Jacob was not -Benjamin found in 1830 with 2 15-20 year old boys - should be 3 if theywere all brothers, but one could have been on his own I suppose.
Seems like Ben and George were from Cumberland c. orig, and there are sooo many Whitcomb/Witcombs that I'm trying to see if Jacob might beconnected with them. His first son was Henry, Henry Witcomb in 1830 doesn't list the right age kids for Jacob to be his. There is an Adam W that has the right kids. Also, Benjamin sr in 1830 has 2 kids the right age to be Jacob, Ben or George. George was married in 1830, but I can't find him in the census anywhere, so I think it is he and Ben living withtheir father in 1830. Might be Jacob tho. David W. has a boy the rightage.
Just found a Jacob Whitcomb in Cumberland co in 1820 with a boy the rightage! s middleton. Cant find him in 1810
---------------------------
In 1840 census Jacob Welcomer is listed living in Dover, York Countybetween 20-30
------------------
In 1870 Henry, his son, has died and living with Jacob are Henry's wife Mary (Fink) and their children Jacob, George and Henry. His daughter Leah had also died so her daughter Susan is also living with him. Mary eventually marries Adam Rupert, who is working in Jacob's shoe shop andliving there at the time
