Jacob was already married to Catherine Disslin when he left Europe in 1749 with his wife and four children. Their daughter, Magdalena, died from small pox while waiting for the ship to leave from London. She was buried just before they set sail. They settled near Frederickstown, MD. Catherine died in 1756 and Jacob soon married Anna Madgalena Yount, another Swiss emigrant who came to America in 1752. In 1778 he sold his land to his son, Abraham, and soon settled in Stokes County, NC (present day Forsyth) with his other sons, Jacob, Isaac and Adam. It is believed that Jacob Faw died c1790/1795 in North Carolina.<P> In North Carolina the Pfaus settled among the Dunkers in the Muddy Creek area on the southern ridge of Wachovia. This choice of a tract of land would seem to indicate some prior knowledge of the Dunkers.<P> One of the major reasons why the Fraternity (Dunker) congregation survived the turbulence of the war was the coming of Jacob Pfau (Faw) family from MD, for his descendants served as ministers of the congregation for many generations, and indeed his descendants have continued to play an active leadership role in the denomination in the twentieth century.<P> <HR> <H4>First Generation</H4> Children of Jacob Pfau/Faw and 1) Catherine Disslin<BR> Elizabeth Pfau (1744)<BR> Anna Catharina Pfau (1745)<BR> <a href="fawa.html">Abraham Pfau/Faw </a> (c1747/56-1828) 1) Julianna Lowe, 2) Mary Steiner, 3) Sarah Moody<BR> Magdalena Pfau (1748-1749) (buried in United Kingdom)<P> --------------<P> Children of Jacob Pfau/Faw and 2) Anna Magdalene Yount<BR> Jacob Faw II (1765, MD-1838) m. <A HREF="hier.html">Nancy Elizabeth Hier</A> (1775-?), moved to Ashe Co.

His grave is adjacent to the famous field stone shaft which bears the initials, TC, carved by Daniel Boone and marks the spot where Captain Tom Calloway (Elijah's father) was buried in his dugout canoe in the year 1800.<P> -------------<P> From the standpoint of the Dunkers in NC, Isaac Faw was significant because of his leadership of the Fraternity (Dunker) congregation. Nothing is known of his ordination or the exact years of his leadership. He probably took over full responsibility for the Dunker settlement about 1810, after Jehu Burhard departed for Ohio. He was evidently the only Dunker elder in the original area of Dunker settlement along the Yadkin River who did not emigrate to the west with the tide of the frontier.<P> Children of Isaac Faw and Magdalene Burkhart<BR> Henry Faw (1793-?) did he move to Hardeman County, TN by 1840?<BR> Daniel Faw (1795-1842/1850) m. <a href="blackb.html">Anna Blackburn</a> (1797-1873), d/o Bryson Blackburn <BR> Abraham/Abram Faw (1797-1876) m. 1) Mary Harper; (or Blackburn?) 2) <a href="harper4.html">Zilphia Harper</a> (1811/13-1879) <BR> Maria/Mary Faw (1800-bef. 1850) m. <a href="hanes.html">Thomas Hanes</a> (1796-1872), s/o of Martin Hanes and Susanna Frey<BR> Isaac Faw Jr. (1802-?) m.

Elijah Slater<P> <center><IMG SRC="faw2.gif"></center><P> <center> Old Fraternity Church of the Brethren, Clemmons Vicinity</center><P> In the late 18th century a group of German Baptists, known as Dunkards or Dunkers, settled near Muddy Creek, close to the southwestern boundary of the Wachovia tract. Among these German settlers were John (Jehu) Burkhart and Jacob Pfau (Faw). Jacob's son, Isaac, (1773-1835) married Burkhart's daughter and Issac assumed leadership of the congregation on Muddy Creek after John Burkhart left. Issac's son, Jacob (1810-1887), rode horseback 100 miles to visit Rev. John Bowman in Rocky Mountain, Franklin County, Virginia. Jacob was baptized over the weekend, took over the congregation in 1845 and led it for 42 years until his death.<P> During Jacob's Faw's leadership, a white gable-roofed church was erected in 1860. The simple frame church has been expanded since 1860 but the simplicity and functionalism of the building remain unaltered, and the Old Order of the Brethren continues to use the church. The Old Order of the Brethren was formed in 1885 when approximately one-third of the congregation left under the leadership of Jacob Faw. The remaining two-thirds continued to worship under Rufus Faw, an architect and J. Frank Robertson, a farmer, both of whom had entered the Durkard ministry in 1883. A new church was built in 1900 under Rufus Faw's supervision. The new church was remodeled around 1930 and it remains in use today by the Fraternity Church of the Brethren.<P> <HR> <H4>Third Generation</H4> Children of Daniel Faw and Anna Blackburn<BR> Selena Faw (1823-1879) did not marry <BR> Nancy Faw (1824-aft. 1880) (*Did she marry a Hanes?)<BR> William Faw (abt. 1825-1845) (did not marry)<BR> Mary Ann Faw (abt. 1828-bef. 1845) m. <a href="orrell2.html">Daniel Orrell</a> (parentage not proven)<BR> Lemuel Faw (1830-aft.1856) (did he move to Montgomery, Texas?)<BR> Calvin Faw (1832-1897) m. 1) Susanna E.
