Thank you Gene, Jacob signed his name on several petitions and indentures
with the umlaut ! He was shown as Jacob Round in the histories of Pennsylvania
and Ohio. His son, Philip Round (my 3rd great grandfather) signed his name as
Round. I have seen his name spelled as Rowan,Rowen, Rownd and Rown :o) I have
just recently traced Jacob to Germany. Again, many thanks !! Charles Round
