Census History notes for John Jacob (Spouse 1)
I have carefully reviewed the Hassinger family in the 1790-1820 Census and compared the households listed and ages of the head of household to the AWT of dmbhari. They are quite consistent and one confirms the other.
In the 1790 Census, we find Jacob Hassinger and Jacob Hassinger Jr. in one part of Northumberland County and Daniel Hassinger in another. This is John Jacob Sr. 1731-1802, John Jacob Jr. 1762-1821 and Daniel 1760-1825. According to the AWT, Jacob Sr.’s son John born 1764 doesn’t marry until 1794 so it makes sense he is still living at home. I do not know why Daniel seems to be living apart from his father and brother.
The 1800 Census shows 6 Hassinger (Hasinger, Hausinger) households in Beaver Twp, North’d Co. plus Catherine in Penns Twp, North’d Co. [Bernard and George Husinger are listed in Mifflin Twp, I think they are not relevant.] I think the others can be sorted out and help to verify the Ancestry family tree of dmbhari. They are:
A father and his sons-- the father being John Jacob Hassinger Sr.
Jacob age 45+. This is John Jacob Sr. born 1731 died 1802.
Jacob age 26-45. This is John Jacob Jr. 1762-1821 so age 38.
John age 26-45. This is John 1764-1810 s/o John Jacob Sr. so age 36.
Abraham age 26-45. This is Abaham 1765-1828, so age 35.
Daniel age 26-45. This is Daniel 1760-1825 so age 40.
Frederick age 26-45. This is Frederick dates unknown who later moves to NY State.
I assume that Catherine age 26-45 with young children in Penns Township is the widow of Johannes aforementioned.
The AWT says that Jacob Jr. had three sons: Jacob (1792), Michael (1795) and John (1798). The younger Jacob in the 1800 Census lists three sons, two under 10 and one 10-16.

My Comments notes for John Jacob (Spouse 1)
Charles A Fisher in “Snyder County Pioneers” says that John Jacob Sr. with dates as listed married Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) with dates as shown and that both were buried in Hassinger’s Old Cemetery.
And Fisher abstracted his will written 18 Dec 1801 proved 17 Aug 1802. He was of Beaver Township and mentioned wife Elizabeth and 11 children including Jacob.
