| Notes |
Jacob was a slaveholder. Sometime before 1791, he sold his slave named Paul to his son Peter in Rockingham Co, VA. This was mentioned by the Ammon vs Runkle lawsuit. It added that Peter then sold Paul to Henry Cook.
Johann Jacob Runckel and Friedrich Hammer, from Wackernheim, were granted permission to emigrate on May 14, 1748. They had to pay 40 and 10 florins respectively for the permission. They landed at Philadelphia on the Ship Hampshire, September 7, 1748 (Strassburger-hinke, List 118 A-C). List A gives Runckel's age as 27, Hammer's as 35. [Reference: Friedrich Krebs, Palatine Emigrants to American from the Oppenheim Area, 1742-1749, (Journal Article p. 46-48 in no. 1 : ill. part of Pennsylvania Folklife v.22, 1972)]

Jacob Runkle had established himself in Augusta Couinty, VA by 1757 and was receivving pay for services with the county militia during the French and Indiana War. In 1763 he patented 225 acres in Augusta County, a portion of which was given to Peter Runkle in 1772 to care for his aged mother. Lewis Runkle was granted land through Jacob Runkle's will. The will is among the lost records of Rockingham County, Va, but a law suit in Augusta titled "Ammon vs. Runkle" yields additional facts. Mary Ammon claimed that Peter Runkle had received more than he was entitled to. [Reference: June Runkle Grove, "The Runkle Family and Associated Families", ([S. I.] J. R. Grove, 1999), pg. 379]
