This does not appear to be the Jacob Burkett family of Allegheny Township,
Somerset County. Jacob's children are found in Allegheny Township or
Londonderry Township, Bedford County.

Do you know where they lived prior to coming to Somerset County? I found a
Burkett family in Berks County that seems to be a good fit. Jacob of
Allegheny was a Rev. War Vet, and there was a Jacob Burkett in the Berks
County war records. Of course this would tend to eliminate an early German
Baptist connection.

Bill,

Thank you for your response. I ask this question out of curiosity because
my Shaffer family seems to have been so influenced by the German Baptists
even before becoming members in Wayne County, Ohio. They drop out of
Lutheran Church Baptismal records very early in the 1800's even though the
family was still living in the same place. According to the records of the
Berlin Reformed/Lutheran Church the Shaffers, Cohenours and
Burkharts/Burketts witnessed the baptism of each other's children: So these

families must have been Lutheran or Reformed before 1800. (My grandfather
claimed they were Lutheran.)

Jonathan, parents John Schafer and Catherine Born 10 September 1788 Baptized

17 Nov 1788, witnesses Jacob Borckfard and Elizabeth

Samuel, parents Jacob Boochard, Elizabeth, Born 10 Apr 1790, Baptized 4 Jul
1790, witnesses John Shaffer, Catherine

John, parents John Jacob Burkhard, Elizabeth, Born 20 Jan 1795 Baptized (no
date) witnesses John Shafer, Susanna

Elizabeth, parents Christian Lauchnour, Catherine, Born 29 Nov 1798,
Baptized 24 Apr 1799, witnesses, John Shafer, Susanna

This may not be of interest to you, but maybe others out there may have more

information.
