Henry Jones finds several possibilities for the origins of the family in Germany but none can be conclusively proven to be this Jacob Sortore. Perhaps the most promising of his findings is from the Reformed Church in Hachenburg. There he finds a marriage record dating from 22 May 1707 of a Johann Jacob, son of Johann Georg Sartor who marries a Christina Catharina daughter of Joh. Gerhard Zeppenfeld. This Johann Jacob Sartor also had sons named Johannes Peter and Johann Henrich who died when he was three. Considering that the family in New Jersey were active members of the Reformed Church and the names of the children this record might be the best place to start for further research in Germany. Members of the Sortore family were treated by a Dr. Benjamin Van Kirk whose records are preserved at the Hopewell, New Jersey museum. These records also indicate that the family had their slaves treated by Dr. Van Kirk. The Sortore name has been spelled in a variety of ways over the years.
