Jacob STRAUB
Hannah HACHENBERG
Catharine __?__
WARNING:  I have no direct evidence that our subject married second to Catharine, but I don't otherwise know how to account for the Jacob STRAUB who did, and we do know that Hannah died in 1865.  Also, this Jacob STRAUB is being confused with the one who married Hannah GORDON.  These are two different Jacob STRAUBs.

  5.  George Peter STRAUB, b. 12 Nov 1835

2.  1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #3 of 4 — indexed "Straup"; list was roughly alphabetized; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•
1830 PA Union [now Snyder] Co. Freeburg p. 306 Ln. 21 Stroup Jacob 100 010 - 000 010
These data indicate:
No. & Sex  Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred
1 male 4 or under 1825-1830 = Son A
1 male 20-29 1800-1810 = Jacob (b. 1806-8) 
1 female 20-29 1800-1810 = Hannah (b. 1805)
Their first child should be a girl, not a boy. Or was Mary born in 1830, not 1829?  I would doubt these are our subjects, except that Peter HACKENBERG (æ 50-60; wife æ 50-60) is also in Freeburg.  The list was alphabetized, so we can't tell whether they were living near each other.

Surely "S.J." is a mis-reading of "J.J.", which would then almost certainly make Jacob, "Johann Jacob."

Mrs. Mary (STRAUB) MARTIN
DAR ID No. 164994
Born in Watsontown, Northumberland Co., PA
Wife of Walter W. MARTIN

Descendant of Ensign Johann Peter HACHENBERG, as follows:

1. George Peter STRAUB (1835-1916) m. 2d 1880 Anna Barbara BAKER (b. 1849).
2. Jacob STRAUB (____-1858) m. 1830 Hannah HACHENBERG (____-1865).
3. Peter HACHENBERG (1765-1847) m. Hannah SHAFER (1764-1854).
4. Johann Peter HACHENBERG m. Annie Elizabeth SEYFOOT (1743-1808).

Johann Peter HACHENBERG (1741-1820) served as ensign in Colonel Baxter's regiment, Pennsylvania troops. He was born in Germany; died in Middleburgh, Northumberland [later Snyder] Co., PA.

Jacob did not die in 1858, and if he really married Hannah in 1830, then he had a prior wife.

11.  Floyd's Northumberland County Genealogy (online in the USGenWeb Archives; submitted by Tony Rebuck).  On p. 765:
ALBERT HACKENBERG, a retired citizen of Point township, Northumberland county, was born April 5, 1835, at Freeburg, Snyder Co., Pa., son of Jesse Hackenberg and grandson of Peter Hackenberg.  Peter Hackenberg was a native of Germany.  Coming to America when quite young he settled at Freeburg, Snyder Co., Pa., and followed farming during his active years, retiring a number of years before his death, which occurred about 1845, when he was advanced in years.  He had prospered in his agricultural operations and was a substantial citizen owning several farms.  For some years he served as a justice of the peace of Washington township, Snyder county.  He was a member of the German Reformed Church and is buried at Freeburg.  To him [Peter] and his wife Susanna (Shaffer) were born six sons and four daughters:  Hannah, who married Mr. Balliet; Mrs. Samuel Sheller; Mrs. Jacob Straub; Mrs. Samuel Sceller; Jesse; Peter L., who lived at McEwensville, Pa., later moved to Michigan, and returning to Pennsylvania settled at Milton in 1861 (he married Mary E. Hood); Jacob, who lived in Center county, Pa.; Daniel who lived in Center county, Pa.; Samuel, who was killed in the Mexican war; and John, who died at New Berlin, Pennsylvania...

Of the seven children listed above, only Sarah and Wilson are actually children of Jacob & Hannah (GORDON) STRAUB.  George, Henry, and the younger Harriet are children of our subjects, Jacob & Hannah (HACHENBERG) STRAUB.  Lucinda and the elder Harriet do not appear to be children of Jacob & Hannah (GORDON) STRAUB because they don't show up in their 1840 or 1850 census records.  In the 1850 census, Lucinda STRAUB and Harriet STRAUB are orphans living separately in Greenwood Twp., Juniata Co., PA, so it's hard to say whose children they are.  Both survived to marry, so it is not the case that they are our subjects' children, who died before the 1850 census.
