About Johan Jacob, "Baron von" Brake
Johann Jacob Brake Birth 1695-1705 in Hannover, Stadt Hannover, Niedersachsen, Germany Death June 1, 1762 in Frederick County, Virginia, United States
Original family name probably Brecht or Brechtel. Emigrated to America, possibly from Eschelbach, southeast of Heidelberg, with wife and children sometime before 1750.
In America became wealthy enough in both money and land to style himself "Baron", whether or not he really was descended from German nobility.
Place of death possibly Moorefield, Hardy County, Virginia (now West Virginia), United States
It appears that Johann Jacob Brake, born about 1695 in Germany was first married to Anna Susanna Eva Wegwese (1700 - 1719) and later to Margaret Elizabeth Keiffer (1713 - 1812). He appears to have been the father of Johann Jacob Brake, Jr.
Johann Jacob Brake (1695) was either the father or grandfather of Johann Jacob Brake, born 1725. It seems highly unlikely that another generation occurred in the 30 years between 1695 and 1725. Therefore, it is assumed that the above mentioned people at Jr. and Sr. - Johann Jacob Brake.
