Jacob Steiner Family
First Generation
Jacob Steiner (1734-1801), a miller, was one of the men who came to Wachovia in 1755, and in 1766 was one of those selected to begin construction of the town of Salem. He married Catharina Beroth (1742-1810) in 1771, and settled in a house near the mill. The Moravian records describe the tragic death of their young son Jacob, who fell into the mill-race and drowned.
Second Generation
Children of Jacob Steiner and Catharina Beroth
Anna Elisabeth Steiner (1773-1842) m. Conrad Rothhaas
Jacob Steiner (1776-1777)
Abraham Steiner (1778-1779)
Johann Heinrich Steiner (1781-1796)
Johannes Steiner (b. & d. 1785)
So far as we know, they had no descendants with the Steiner surname.
