on the homestead, Providence Twp., then a part of Martie Twp.;
Jacob Huber, son of Hans Huber, came to Pennsylvania with
his father's family and most likely was married after he came. He
took charge of the homestead in 1745 and between this date and.
1754 he moved with his second wife and five children to Martie,
now Providence Township. His will written in 1754 shows that
his children to the second wife were then under age. Those to the
first wife were all married at that time. Jacob Huber divided the
homestead in. Earl Township between his two sons by his first
wife, John and Martin, on Jan. 10, 1754. He moved to Martie

his son and grandson operated. In later years it was known as
Strohm's mill.
