Biography

Hans Jacob was born in 1683. He died in 1760.

Research Notes

The godfather at his baptism was Hans Jacob Spiess. Holzclau was named for him, as was customary, but any familial relationship is unknown.

Jacob Holzklau took the position of schoolmaster at Oberfischbach when his brother died; he was 24. He married the following summer.

The twelve families went first to London to await passage; they were there about a year.

The first organized body of Germans who came as permanent settlers to Virginia included Jacob and Margaret his wife and sons John and Henry - April 1714. Settlement was called Germanna (located in Orange County of today) and became the first county seat of Spotsylvania Co in 1722. Came from the principality of Nassau-Siegen and some were skilled workers in iron.

Families were John Spillman & wife Mary, Herman Fishback and wife Kathrina, John Henry Huffman and wife Kathrina, Joseph Coons and wife Kathrina and son John, John Fishback and wife Agnes, Jacob Rector and wife Elizabeth and son John, Melchior Brumback and wife Elizabeth, Tillman Weaver and Ann Weaver his mother, Jacob Holtzclaw and wife Margaret and sons John and Henry, John Kemper and wife Alice Kathrina, John Joseph Martin and wife Maria Kathrina, Peter Hitt and wife Elizabeth. Certificates for 100 acres of land were issued 30 May 1729. (Holtzclaws recieved 200 acres)

From Essex Co VA, Will Book 16, p.180 is the following statement: The Honable Alex Spotswood His Majesty's Leut. Governour & Commander in Chief of Virginia did put under my command Eleven Labouring men to work in Mines or Quarries at or near Germanna, and we began to work March One Thousand Seven Hundred and 15/16 and so continued til Dec. One Thousand Seven Hundred & Eighteen.

What is subscribed above by the Hofman is true, for I kept the accounts for and was one of the men.

Signed: Jacob Holtsclare

At Court for Essex Co on Tues the 17th May 1720 - Then sworn to be the above named John Justice Albright and Hans Jacob Holsclare & Ordered to be recorded. Capt. W. Beverly, Clerk

Johann Justus Albrecht was the recuiter of the Germans in Nassau-Siegen and came with them to Germanna [he was omitted by B. C. Holtzclaw in his list of settlers]. It is believed the first two years the men labored in clearing land, building houses, and guarding the Virginians against the Indians. They first looked for silver, but found iron and spent approximately two years developing iron mines, but this first group did not build a furnace. After their term of service to Governor Spotswood expired, they moved to Germantown, 20 miles to the north of Fort Germanna, probably in January of 1719. The above document does confirm that the Germans labored for Gov. Spotswood for four years to pay for part of their passage.

Jacob was naturalized Jul 11, 1722 and the copy is in Deed Book A, p.165 of the records of Spotsylvania County VA. It states "Jacob Holtzclow a native a Nassace-Sieger in Germany having settled and inhabited for several years in the County of Stafford in this Colony and now made application to me for the benefit of Naturalization and before me taken the oaths precribed by Law and subscribed the test." Signed A. Spotswood [Governor of Va.]

Jacob Holtzclaw's Naturalization, 1722

This application direct to Gov. Spotswood suggests a measure of friendship between the two men. This act was one of Spotswoods last official duties. [This naturalization has been reprinted in Virginia Historical Magazine and Beyond Germanna.]

June 10, 1731. John Fishback and Jackob Holtzclow were two of ten men who applied for 50,000 acres of Land on the "Westerly side of the great Mountains". Their petition was granted by Order of Council provided within two years they bring 50 Families to inhabit said land. The next Order on Oct 21 1731, seems to indicate this grant was assigned to Robert McKay and Jost Hite (who eventually married, as his second wife, the mother-in-law of a daughter of 1714 German NA immigrant Melchior Brombach), but John Fishback did own land on the Shenandoah in 1734 when he left it to his son Frederick Fishback in his will.

Will Book 1, Page 10

The heirs of Jacob were not satisfied with the administration of Executor Jeremiah Darnall. Chancery Court Case in Fauquier Co, 1764-005. Herman Miller and Elizabeth his wife, Jacob Holtzclaw, Joseph Holtzclaw, Henry Hitt and Alice Catherine his wife, Henry Holtzclaw, Herman Holtzclaw, Allen Wiley and Eve his wife, residuary legatees of Jacob Holtzclaw decased, brought suit against Jeremiah Darnall in 1764. Jacob was possessed of considerable estate, both real and personal at his death. In his Last will and Testament he gave many specific legacies especially to one of his daughters, the wife to Jeremiah Darnall and to several of their children. He also left a tract of land to be sold at public sale to be divided among all his children. He appointed Darnall Executor and he was qualified to do so. There was a tract of land in Augusta county that was to be sold and it has not been sold. They felt that Darnall had made personal use of some of the personal estate of Jacob and there were at least five slaves not designated in the Will. Allen Wiley and his wife Eve also sued Darnall, citing a signed note from Jacob, promising to give her 10 pounds and a slave Girl for her service in caring for mother on her deathbed. The slave girl, Cate, seems to have been in their possession, according to the Will - maybe the 10 pounds was not forthcoming.
