On the Class list Upper Company of Bern Twp., Berks Co. Militia, May 4, 1784, are: £ VALENTINE KAUFMAN, Sergeant; ADAM KAUFMAN, 4th Class; GEORGE KAUFMAN, 5th Class; JACOB KAUFMAN, 6th Class; PHILIP KAUFMAN, 7th Class; JOST KAUFMAN, 8th Class (Pa. Arch. Ser. 6, Vol. 3:86). The Captain of this group was Jacob Schertel.
Jacob Kaufman made a Will dated Sept. 8, 1800 and proved Nov. 11, 1801. It was written by him. Witnesses were George Kaufman and Adam Kaufman. Executors appointed were Valentine Kaufman and Joseph Kaufman .. Since no mention of a wife was made she died before 1800. His estate was to be equally divided among all his children, with the reserva- tion that his daughter, Anna Maria, who was first the wife of Joseph Althous but now married to Christian Albrecht, her children, namely the two sons, Joseph Althous and Daniel Althous and the daughter, Anna Maria Althous, should inherit a share of his remaining assets, namely that share which his daughter, Anna Maria, wife of Christian Albrecht would inherit. No other issue was mentioned nor was the number of children who survived him given (Will Bk. 4:442,
114
Berks Co. C. H.).
The graves of Jacob Kaufman and his wife, Anna Maria, have not been found. Like the graves of many of the early settlers, they have probably been destroyed. Where refer- ences for dates in the Kaufman issue is not given, they were taken from the Church Records of St. Michael's. Issue :
I. VALENTINE KAUFMAN (Jacob1), son of Jacob and Anna Maria: b. ca. 1749; d. 1834; m. Magdalena.

He remained in Germany until he was sixteen. He owned several hundred acres in Bern Twp. now Upper Bern. He appears on the Bern Twp. tax lists, 1779-1785 (Pa. Arch.
