Generation: 1
| 1. | Jacobina Bernhardt Notes:
From Kelsey Jones:
Jacobina Bernhard was a witness, 11 Feb 1750 with Jan Kermer at a baptism at the Walpack Dutch Reformed Church at Walpack, Sussex County, New Jersey. She married Jan Arrison (Arason, Aerson, Aronson, etc.) sometime before 30 June 1754 when
they were witnesses at a baptism for her niece. Their own child was baptised 27 Oct 1754 at Walpack. Jan is related to have been a widower with children at the time of their marriage. If this is true, he has no children by a first wife
baptised at Walpack nor does he or a first wife appear as witnesses to any baptisms at Walpack. There are no further baptisms found for Jan and Jacobina at Walpack, perhaps because of their removal to Shamokin, Pennsylvania in central
Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna River. Their area of settlement was the frontier and Indian hostilities preceeding and during the Revolutionary War are related to have caused their return to Stillwater. Little is known of their return, whether
they preceeded some of the worst hostilities or fled with many other settlers to New Jersey when the Indians and British massacred hundreds of settlers at Wyoming, Pennsylvania near present Wilkes Barre. I have found no further records of this
family. Some printed records relate that his name was Jeptha, but in the two church records cited above that I have found his name is Jan in both instances. Pennsylvania records need to be consulted. In The Wintermute Genealogy it is related
that George Wintermute b. 8 July 1748 m. Anna Arason b. 6 May 1750 presumed daughter of Jeptha Arason. W. B. McCormick of Brownsville, Pennsylvania related that her birth was 23 May 1751 as recorded in the family bible. The inscription on her
tombstone reads born 6 May 1750 died 19 Feb 1809 58y 9m 13d. She is buried at Stillwater. I do not know if she was a child of Jacobina or a first wife of Jan. It is related that Jan and Jacobina had eight children, but I have found records of
only five.

Generation: 2
| 7. | Andrew (John?) Arison  (1.Jacobina1) was born in 1750 in NJ. Notes:
This information is from: mike_louden@email.msn.com (T. Michael Louden)
There is an Andrew Arison who is identified in some Fayette Co., PA information as being a child of the first Arrison in New Jersey. (They do not give the first name for his father.) For that to be true he would need to be a child of Jan
Arrason. I have a second reference for the same person (based on dates, spouse and children names) that refers to him as John Arison. I suspect the second may have confused the son and fathers names or even the grandfathers (Jan = John). I will
refer to him as Andrew or "Andrew (John?)" for now until I have more information.
Andrew moved from NJ to Loudoun Co., VA before 1780 and married Ann Davis. One of their children John Arison then moves to Fayette Co., PA where he lives next door to and is buried with George Wintermute who is Jan Arrason's son-in-law, In
Redstone Cem.. George Wintermute would be his uncle if I am correct in Andrew being Jan Arrason's son.
Andrew married Ann Davis in VA. Ann was born in in Loudoun, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
