Jacob Hunsicker (1784-1866)

Biography
From A Genealogical History of the Hunsicker Family:

, third son and sixth child of Bishop Henry Hunsicker, was born in, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, , 27 August, 1784. Married Sarah Kolb, born in the same Township, 7 May, 1786. They were the parents of seven children, four sons and three daughters. All married and had families, except one son, who died young.

Jacob Hunsicker was a successful farmer, and resided for many years on the farm now owned by Joseph Robison near Perkiomen Bridge, where all his children were born. He possessed noble qualities of character, was eminently social, kind-hearted, and helpful as a man and neighbor in many ways.

The quality of character is traceable in some of his descendents, notably in Mrs. Sarah H. Longstreth, a granddaughter, graduate of Pennsylvania Female College, prominent in the reform movements of the day; in that of her son Mayne R. Longstreth, a rising lawyer at the Philadelphia Bar; and in a grandson, F. F. Wonsetler of Norristown, Pa., of the firm of Coleman & Wonsetler, successfully engaged in the insurance business in Philadelphia. We could add more names to our list on distinguished offspring of this father in Israel.
