Jacob Conrad Sr. was part of the Palatine migration. He had come into the Port of Philadelphia from the Canton of Bern in Switzerland in 1750, aboard the ship "Patience" from Rotterdam. Jacob Sr. had brought with him his three daughters and one son. His son, Jacob Conrad Jr. would marry Hannah Bogard3 and they would have ten children. (Jacob Jr. would also fight in the Revolutionary War and they would become land wealthy.)
One of their ten children, Daniel Conrad, married Margaret Shields and then they moved to Braxton County. Daniel and Margaret had only four children. Daniel and Margaret's only daughter Phoebe4 married Alexander Skinner and became an original settler of Oil Creek and grandmother of all the Skinners of Oil Creek. Thus, the Skinners of Oil Creek also share the ancestry of the old immigrant Jacob Conrad.
Jacob CONRAD left Bern, Switzerland in 1750 and settled in Augusta County, Virginia in 1763. With him came his brother, Ulrich. (The wife of Jacob Conrad died in Switzerland before he left.)
The Conrad family probably spent the years between 1759 and 1763 in Pennsylvania--and arrived in Augusta Co., Virginia in 1763. In Augusta Co., they settled at South Branch, 1.5 miles below Ruddle. Jacob found on this piece of land a "squaw patch" (parcel of cleared ground that an Indian woman could easily tend), which formed the nucleus of his cleared land and a cabin that he used temporarily. He was a weaver by trade.
