Jacob Setzer I,
"the Pioneer", was born in 1730 in Heidelberg, Germany. He
settled in Catawba County by 1765 (at that time part of Lincoln
County). As a young man, he made his way down the Rhine
River to Holland and is believed to have come to America, along
with his brother, Michael, on Captain William Muir's ship
Brothers from Rotterdam, Holland. |
|
|
It is believed that Michael was also born in 1730 but it is not
known if they were twins or not. The ship landed in
Philadelphia, PA on September 26, 1753. Jacob was the son
of
Johannes Adam Setzer, who came to America on the Ship
Patience which landed in America on August 10, 1750.
Michael went west and Jacob came south almost immediately. |
|
|
Jacob was a physician and brought his medical books with him
when he came to America. He settled on the farm of
Conrad
Bovey (Poovey) near Newton, North Carolina. |
|
Jacob married
Mary Magdalene Bovey about 1753. She was the daughter of
Conrad and Magdalene Bovey and was
born about 1735. |
|
Jacob and Mary lived in a part of Anson County, North Carolina.
Rowan County was formed from Anson in 1753 and included all the
territory west to the Blue Ridge. The area where they
lived eventually became part of Mecklenburg County in 1762, then
part of Tryon County, then part of Lincoln County in 1779, and
in 1842 part of Catawba County, NC. They lived on
Hildebrand Creek, an arm of Clark's Creek, currently located in
Catawba County, about 3.5 miles west of Maiden. |
|
|
A deed from 10 Dec 1766 on file in Mecklenburg County shows that
Jacob was deeded 196.5 acres of land by Conrad Bovey. |
|
|
Jacob and Mary had three sons: |

Revolutionary War. John served with the militia at Kings
Mountain. Jacob Jr. served in Franklin Co., GA, where he
had moved. Adam served three terms. |
