Jacob Hochstetler was Amish, he arrived in Philadelphia on November 9, 1738 on ths ship Charming Nancy. He settled in the Northkill settlement in Berks County situated in what later became know as Tilden, Upper Bern, Centre and Penn Townships, and is presently west of Hamburg between the towns of Shartlesville and Centre Point.

In his book "Amish Society, 4th edition" , author John A. Hostetler (also one of Jacob's descendants) surmises two reasons for Amish settling in this area. One is that Berks County had just been opened to settlers the year before the Amish arrived and the second is that while after landing most Amish went to Lancaster County, they found it settled largely by Mennonites and therefore moved on to Berks to start their own Amish settlement. Today there are no Amish left in Berks County. It is further surmised that frequent Indian attacks in Berks County were a major reason for the decline of this Amish settlement.

The following account is from "Amish Society, 4th edition" by John A. Hostetler. Johns Hopkins University Press,1993.

On the whole, Pennsylvania's Quakers government maintained peaceful relations with the Indians until about 1775. under pressure from the British citizenry, a chain of forts was established along the Blue Mountains, Pennsylvania's frontier during the French and Indian War. The Jacob Hochstetler family was one target of the numerous Indian attacks on settlers in the Northkill area. On the evening of September 19, 1757, after the family had retired, there was a disturbance. One of the boys opened the door and was shot in the leg. he quickly reached for the rifle but this father objected, stating that it was against their principles to take human life. The house was set afire by the Indians, and when the family escaped through the cellar window, mother, a son, and a daughter were scalped. Jacob and his sons Joseph and Christian were taken captive. After several years of living with the Indians they managed to return.

Harvey Hostetler's account of this same incident in his book "The Descendants of Barbara Hochstetler and Christian Stutzman" says that the son killed was also named Jacob. Jacob, the father, escaped from the Indians three years after the incident a the two sons were returned five and seven years later. See the book "Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler the Immigrant of 1736" by Harvey Hostetler pages 29-45 for a complete account.
