He earned his living as a blacksmith but his smith was confiscated due to his religion. He was imprisoned in 1637 and 1639. Elsbeth, his second wife was imprisoned about 1642 and died there about 1643 after 63 weeks in prison. Undocumented reference on www.ancestry.com record -------------------------- Hans Jacob Hess with his wife were first imprisoned in 1637. During the imprisonment, his wife was bade bitter, for her husband was stripped and both were put in irons bonds for sixteen weeks. He, never the less patiently bore with a steadfast mind until his deliverance. His wife was first imprisoned in the Council House and then in Athen back, where through bad treatment and unfit food and drink for 63 weeks, she was seized with consumption and after suffering much misery, died in prison. The property of Hans Jacob Hess was seized by the authroities who realized from the sale, 4,000 guilders. Nother was restored to the family, a great injustice. How will they be able to account for this before Righteous Judgement seat of Jesus Christ. Undocumented reference on www.ancestry.com record -------------------------- In 1637 Jacob Hess, an Anabaptist Zurick Canton minister, an aged man of 53 years, was arrested and imprisioned more than 91 weeks for his faith. That was the first time the Governor sent officers to catch a person. In 1639 Anna, his wife, was imprisioned 63 weeks where she died of brutal treatment. Jacob and Anna Hess's confiscated property brought 4,000 guilders at the Jager Council (Anabaptist Head Hunters.) No guilders were restored to any Hess family who remained. Perhaps Hans Hess (second generation) was the only child of this family who survived the Switzerland persecutions.

| 3 | KEEDYSVILLE - The Maryland State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will dedicate a memorial to Revolutionary War patriot Jacob Hess at the Hess gravesite in Fairview Cemetery here, Saturday, October 6. The service will begin at 3 p.m. Principal, speaker will be Judge Wilson K. Barnes, past president of the Maryland State Society, SAR. Other participants will include John W. Hoffman, president of the local Christian Ardinger Chapter, SAR, and Irvin David Hess of Yuma, Arizona, a direct descendant of Jacob Hess. Jacob Hess was born in 1740 and died in 1815. In 1768, he married Margaret Orndorff, the eldest daughter of Major Christian Orndorff, a prominent Washington County citizen, and later acquired from his father-in-law a tract of land along the Antietam Creek. Hess built a mill and a large stone dwelling house on the land. His military service began on September 19, 1776, as a private in the Maryland Militia "Flying Camp" under command of Capt. Richard Smith, Lt. Walter White and Lt. Thomas Hays. The Jacob Hess Mill was one of the landmarks in the early history of Washington County. In early land records, frequent reference is made to "the road leading to Jacob Hess' Mill." In later years, in the immediate area of the mill, the town of Keedysville was built, part of it on original Jacob Hess land. The old mill was operated for almost two centuries. The last owner was Russell Geeting, still residing in Keedysville, who operated it until 1956 and dismantled it in 1960. The present U. S. Post Office and Keedysville Citizens Bank are located on the mill site. Morning Herald, Friday, October 5, 1973 | Hess, Jacob (I81)
