About the Book

Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Bear Family and Biographical Record of the Descendants of Jacob Bear, 1747-1906

Every effort has been made to ascertain the place of birth, or nativity, of Jacob Bear, Sr., but while records have been found which give date of his birth and death, they do not state where he was born. The supposition is had by the older members of the family that he came from Germany, but no positive proof of this fact can be found. Your Secretary, in the course of his in vestigation, has been in communication with representatives of a good many families of our name, spelling it in different ways, and while it is remarkable that with few exceptions these families had their American origin in Pennsylvania, the connection, if at all, is very remote. It may be possible that could these families be traced in the old country, it would 'be found they had the same origin. Your Secretary has found two other families besides ourselves who were compiling genealogies at this time. One of these spell the name Bare and the other Bair, and both sprang from Lancaster county, Pa. As far back as can be traced, it seems the Bears (spelling the name in different ways) came over with the Swiss Mennonites about 1700 and settled in Lancaster county. It is possible that our Jacob came from one of these Lan caster county families. It is very probable that he was of Swiss German origin, as a biographical sketch, written of Ephraim Bear, Jr., before the latter's death, stated the family was of Swiss origin. This was probably written with Ephraim's knowledge, and it is very probable he knew the place of birth of Jacob Bear, Sr., his grandfather. Unfortunately, Ephraim Bear, Jr., died many years before this work was undertaken. In fact, there are none now living of the third generation.
