The family tradition tells that Jacob Koger's passage was paid to this country by a man named Harmon, with the understanding that Jacob Koger would work for this Harmon for at least two years, without pay, so that Harmon would be repaid for the funds that he had advanced for the passage. Apparently Jacob Koger lived up to this agreement. During the indenture period, Jacob never had any real problems with his employer. One story, though, tells how one time, when he and Harmon were driving Harmon's oxcart to the mill, Jacob, at the reins, fell asleep in the hot sunlight, and the cattle left the road and gathered in a field under the shade of a tree. Harmon, seeing what had happened, yelled to Jacob: "Wake up there Yockob! Wake up! (Yockob was the original pronunciation for Jacob) Jacob was startled, but still managed to get the cattle back onto the road. The story states that Jacob was careful not to get sleepy again. While still in Pennsylvania, about 1737, Jacob Koger married Lucinda Crum. They had a large family.
