The 1864 genealogy of Peter Eyman indicates that Jaocob married in 1746 before migration.

Letters of administration were granted in 1793 to a Jacob Emen of Dauphin County for settling the affairs of a Catherine Emen. No other refrence to Emens have been found in that area and time period. This may be evidence of court approval for a Ja cob Eyman to settle the estate of a wife or relative by the name of Catherine. This could possibly by Jacob Eyman of <1725>, or his possible son, Jacob Eyman II, who migrated to Hardy County and purchased lands adjoining those of Christian Eyman i n the next year (1794).
