Although his father was Catholic, Jacob was raised as a Lutheran. Apparently after Georg died, his widow took the children from Dorf Erbach back to her home of Bad König (known at that time simply as "König"). There she must have resumed her old faith and brought up her children in the Lutheran church as well
Jacob married in Bad König on 13 Aug 1726 to Anna Margaretha Barbara Eichelbauer. The marriage record tells that he was a master shoemaker. It also mentions that the father of each had already died:
Jacob and Anna Margaretha Barbara's first recorded child was Johann Georg Zettelmeyer, who was born 3 Sep 1735 in König. While it is likely that there were other children born after his 1726 marriage but before this child in 1735, we have no record of them at this time. This record tells us that Jacob had relocated from Erbach to König.
The König church records disclose the names of eight children born to Jacob and Anna Margaretha Barbara:
==================================================================
" Jacob was a master shoemaker. His father was a Beysitzer. In the birth records for two of his daughters, Georg was referred to as a Beysass and as a Kessler. The same wording was used in his marriage record to Anna Maria Dörffler [his second wife and Jacobs mother]. The words Beysitzer and Beysass mean the same thing, which can be a member of the local court or jury member, or a landless peasant who rents from someone else. A Kessler is an iron worker or a tinker, usually someone who makes and mends iron pots and pans. On Jacobs birth record [7 Dec 1706], Georg was described as a Kesselflicher, which means that he repaired iron pots. Tinkers probably traveled around in their work and were sometimes gone for months at a time. No death date was located, so he must have died while away from home. In 1722, Anna Maria Dörffler Zettelmeyer remarried to Hans Philipp Hess in Hetsbach." [Dora Kamalu]
