Generation 4

Jacob came to America circa 1860s. He was younger brother to two old maid sisters, parents (supposedly well off) deceased early (before he left). He was ill with tuberculois for three years and it prohibited him from entering the army as an officer. He then departed to the States. He was a tailor by trade.

One story about the Herbigs is that they were Hugenots (French Protestants) whose origins are from a town called Herbignac in Brittany, France. Due to their religious beliefs, they were persecuted in France and resettled in Falquemont, Loraine in 1630, and hence to Saxony (Sachsen) and later to the Kingdom of Prussia to Potsdam, outside of Berlin. They were famous in Berlin as artists and musicians. After thanks for many years of contribution to the arts for the Prussian crown, Fredrich the Great gave a mansion to the family on the grounds of Sansoucy Castle in Potsdam. A street in Berlin was supposedly named in honor of the family. Many Herbigs hail from Grossfurra Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, Thuringen, Germany a Prussian province in the mid 1850s.
