Jacob Noffsinger, son of Peter(Nofsker) Noffsinger who was born around 1752 and is buried on his farm in Muhlenberg County, KY.
According to records owned several thousand acres of land in Virginia, perhaps a family inheritance, as their family were the largest land owners in the county. In 1807, paying 1500 pounds, Jacob purchased 2000 acres of a military survey of land in Kentucky, Muhlenberg County, formerly belonging to James and Ann Breckenridge of Virginia. The brother, John (another son of Peter Noffsinger)purchased the balance of the survey of the land, from the Breckenridges, this was suppose to contain 3933 acres but in reality it contained over 10,000 acres including the present sites of Bremen, Lynn City, and Sacramento. He paid for this military survey, 7210 pounds of lawful money. their families went into Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap.
They say they are known as "Pennsylvania Dutch", who moved south into Virginia, then West, into Kentucky, Ohio and Westward, to the new home in Kentucky and located near each other in the same settlement of Cypress Creek. Daniel (Nofsker) Noffsinger (another son of Peters) also moved to Kentucky with his brothers.
