buried Delp's Cem, Harleysville, Montgomery Co (his will was proven 13 May 1793)
Naturalized April 1743. Resided Franconia Twp, Philadelphia Co (now Montgomery Co,) PA on the homestead inherited from his father. Besides the grist mill present when he took over the estate (313 acres), he built a sawmill on the Indian Creek. In 1766, he bought an additional 126-acre tract adjoining what he already owned. He may have been a Mennonite minister, as mentioned by Bishop Christian Funk in about 1780, although it could have been his son, also named Jacob, who was the minister.

101 acres to his son Jacob in 1772
70 acres to his son Yellis/Yelles in 1773
80 acres to his son Henry in 1775
82 acres and the sawmill to his son John in 1775
Please note there is another Jacob Landes buried at Delps who died 1777. The caption for his marker indicates a mention of this Jacob on the back side of that monument.
