Jacob came to America with his family from the Palatinate, Germany. They a rrived by way Cowes on the ship "Harle", Ralph Harle, Master from Rotterda m. They arrived September 1, 1736 and were living in the vicinity of the H eidelberg Church in 1739 when church services were held in his home. Mo st records drop the "John" after their arrival in America. The family sett led in what was called Heidelberg Twp., Northumberland Co., Pennsylvani a, later called Washington Twp., Lehigh Co. Heidelberg township was organi zed in 1752. Originally Northumberland Co. was made up of most of the nort heastern part of the state of Pennsylvania. When the original Heidelberg T ownship was formed, Conrad Bloss was appointed constable.
Rupp's "Thirty Thousand Names..." has the following entry: "September 1, 1 736. Palatines imported in the ship Harle, of London, Ralph Harle, Maste r, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes. One hundred and fifty-six men, sixty-f ive women, one hundred and sixty-seven boys and girls - in all 388." In t he list is "Joh. Jacob Daubenspeck".

Strassburger's "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" has 2 ship lists for the Har le. List A shows "Jacob Daubenspeck," age 22. List C lists "Johan Jacob Da ubenspeck." It would appear that the signature on List C is Johan's own ha ndwriting.
