  • Name Jacob KUHN  [2
    • According to Winthrop Bell, he has concluded that Jacob KUHN or Heinrich Kuhn (SR.) are likely the same person, referencing the pattern of changing forenames in records such as the Victualling List. The Heinrich Kuhn who appears in records past 1750/52 is clearly the son of this Jacob Heinrich and who was part of the family group who sailed from Rotterdam in 1750. At this time, definitive conclusions have not been validated and research is ongoing. [1]
