The following expert from "History & Genealogy of the Jacob Banghart Family" by Frederick L Mullin (c) 1964
"It is believed that Jacob Banghart arrived in this country at the Port of Essington (today, Philadelphia) about 1749. His eldest son, Michael, was indentured for his passage. It has been a story handed down through the family that they walked by foot, north through Pennsylvania, finding the best land already taken up by earlier settlers, crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey and made their way through the wilderness to the vicinity of High Bridge, where they found the hilly and heavily wooded countryside so much like the homeland they had left that they decided to settle there.
The next definite information that Jacob Banghart resided in Oxford Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, was on April 7, 1804 when he fixed his name as a witness to a property conveyance from Barnabas Banghart to Jacob Bowers (ref. Barnabas Banghart Chapter), at which time he was residing with his eldest son Michael. Jacob Banghart died in May, 1810 at the ripe old age of ninety-five. After careful study of the old burial grounds in Oxford Township, it is the opinion of the local residents whose families have lived here for generations that the remains of Jacob Banghart and his wife are buried in the "Old Sarepta Burying Ground," the oldest graveyard in the area, about one-half mile from the homestead of Michael Banghart. This burial place still contained several old headstones until recent months when visited by this writer and Mrs. Victoria Eliason, who had lived next to and played among the gravestones as a child.
