Jacob and Mary Kollock had seven children. They were: Simon Kollock, Hannah Kollock, Jacob Kollock, Jane Kollock, Magdalene Kollock, Hester Kollock, and Cornelius Kollock. Unfortunately there has been no recorded documentation of their births. Jacob Kollock, did however list his son Simon Kollock as his eldest child on a legal document. Jacob's son Jacob Kollock, Jr., has a headstone on his grave that includes his birth and death years. Otherwise, the birth order is accepted in the order that these children were listed on various legal documents by Jacob and Mary Kollock. Jacob Kollock died at the age of 63 on February 25, 1720. Mary Kollock died at the age of 95 on September 30, 1741. They are both buried in St. Peters' Old Episcopal Churchyard in Lewes. Children of Jacob and Mary Kollock: |

The Kollock Family Legend Jacob Kollock was born circa 1657. His place of birth is believed to have been somewhere in Southern France. The family legend handed down through generations of Kollock family members is that the Kollock's were French Huguenots whose surname was originally spelled Colloque. The Edict of Nantes gave the people of France religous freedom. In October of 1685 the Edict of Nantes was revoked and many of the Huguenots fled to avoid religous persecution. Family legend continues that Jacob fled to Holland and it is at this time that the spelling of the surname was changed from Colloque to Kollock. The pronunciation of the name remained the same and the new spelling reflected a German/Dutch spelling of the name. After being in Holland for an undetermined amount of time Jacob set sail for America. The year was approximately 1688 when Jacob Kollock appeared and settled in Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware. Lewes would be Jacob's home for the remainder of his life and the birthplace of the next Kollock generations to come. |
