Jacob Ruster

Jacob Ruster born 20 Nov 1801  in Katzweiler, Pfalz, Bavaria. He marries Susanna Schlamb in Germany 2 Dec 1824. They like so many others decided to leave their home and with their children Jacob 20, Cass 10(?), Peter 8 & Philip 6 arrive in N.Y. N.Y. to start a new life. Jacob and Susanna, make a new home in Marshalls creek, Smithfield Township, Monroe Co., Pa. by 1860. There they set up housekeeping and farm and live until their deaths (Jacob) 22 Oct. 1886 and 17 March 1898. They are buried at St. Pauls Lutheran Church Cemetery, Marshalls Creek, Pa. The area also known as Craigs Meadows. I found stones for them and their son Peter in the back of the church in the church wall. The church dedicated in 1855 has added many additions and I can assume one of them over the burial site of the Rusters. https://www.facebook.com/saints.pauls
