[[Image:Jack Dietz Sketch-top.JPG|600px|thumb|right|<center>Crayon picture of cabin of Jack Deitz, former slave in the Berne Museum, Berne Historical Society<ref>the sketch of the cabin of Jack Deitz was made by Mrs. A. V. Ball. She refers to herself in the description of the cabin as having taken Jack's chair from the loft in 1883, presumably one that Jack had made himself. The chair is pictured in front of the cabin. Mrs. Amber Velia Ball was Cynthia Ann Engle, daughter-in-law of [[Robert Ball]] and his wife, [[Anna Barbara Deitz]]. Her father-in-law, Robert Ball, had bought the Jack Deitz cabin after Jack's death. The cabin was probably on the bank of Fox Creek, near the end of Rock Road. It was found in [[The Jacob Ball House]] when it was being torn down in 1960 to build the Catholic Church. The original is now at the [[Berne Historical Society]]. Found at the same time was a late 19th Century drawing of the [[Beaverdam Cemetery]] believed made by the same artist. The Jacob Ball House is believed to have been owned in the early 20th Century by her brother Wallace Engle. [HHMiller]</ref></center>]]

There were no known children of Jacob (Jack) Deitz and Elizabeth Acker. A neighbor of Johan Jost Dietz was Johannes Ecker; it is possilbe that Elizabeth "Acker" was a slave of Johannes Ecker who in 1810 owned 1 slave.<ref>1810 federal census</ref> Perhaps that was Elizabeth; he also had a free non-white person in the household. Elizabeth died on 1 Sept. 1816, (perhaps in childbirth?) and is buried in the [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>

Jack married Diana Abbott<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref> say 1818. Children of Jacob (Jack) Deitz and Diana Abbott were as follows:
*Eliza J. Deitz was born circa 1818 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She married (--?--) Willis. She died on 20 Jul 1862. She was buried at Beaverdam Cemetery, Town of Berne, Albany, NY.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>
*(--?--) Deitz was born between 1820 and 1830 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY.<ref name="1820 census">1820 and 1830 federal census</ref>
*(--?--) Deitz was born between 1820 and 1830 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY.<ref name="1820 census">1820 and 1830 federal census</ref>
*Jinnet Deitz was born circa 1823 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She married (--?--) Sturges. She died on 21 Oct 1862. She was buried at Beaverdam Cemetery, Town of Berne, Albany, NY beside her mother and father.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>
*Sarah Abigle Deitz was born circa 1826 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She died on 18 Apr 1828 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She was buried at Beaverdam Cemetery, Town of Berne, Albany, NY beside her mother and father.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>
*Venna Ester Deitz was born circa May 1828 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She died on 20 Mar 1832 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. She was buried at Beaverdam Cemetery, Town of Berne, Albany, NY beside her mother and father.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>
*Abraham Jansing Deitz was born on 13 Oct 1832 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. He was baptized on 18 Jun 1833 at Lutheran Church, Town of Berne, Albany, NY. He was the son of a freed slave.<ref>Baptism record</ref>

Dianna Abbot, born 13 Dec. 1801, died 7 Feb. 1834, leaving Jack with at least five children to raise.<ref>1810 federal census</ref>. She is buried beside Jack and his first wife.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref>

==Death==

Jack died on 22 Nov 1848 at Town of Berne, Albany, NY. He was buried at Beaverdam Cemetery, Town of Berne, Albany, NY.<ref name="tombstone">tombstone of Jacob Deitz in [[Beaverdam Cemetery]]</ref> The stone is located near the top of the knoll,the old section, on the west side, near the woods. That side faces west and borders the farm that was owned by Johan Jost. It is a tall monument in great condition, writing on 3 sides (2 wives and children). Placed there in 1862 when two of his daughter's died, (coincidentally it was the year of Emancipation of slaves). Four short, white columns surround the stone, once chained together. Jacob's side faces the woods.<ref>Allan Deitz</ref>

==Additional Media==
The will of [[Johannes Shafer]] was proved and recorded Dec.12,1853 , but another date given (maybe after decease) is Dec.28, 1858. He left land to [[St. Paul's Lutheran Church]] and also gave Jacob Deitz, coloured man, one hundred dollars one year after his decease. The will was obviously written before Jacob Deitz died in 1848.
