"In Philadelphia in the middle of the eighteenth century such formalities of inspection and qualification as were imposed upon emigrants from abroad were usually gone through at the Court-House, and all male persons above the age of sixteen were required to repeat the following declaration and then to subscribe their names thereto or – by no means an infrequent alternative in those days to make their mark: (This may indicate that Jonas was born before 31 Aug 1734).

Jonas married Anna Barbara Bucks on Mar 22 1752 in St. Michael and Zion Church, Philadelphia (at the North-East corner of Fifth Street and Apple Tree Alley).
He died after Jan 1760 (indicated because twins were born on Oct 26 1760) in the Strasburg area of Lancaster County PA. Update. Jonas Raub died after 13 Apr 1760 because Jonas and Barbara Rab (sic) were sponsors at the baptism of Jonas, son of Caspar and Agatha Seitz. From the Register of the Pequea Lutheran Church at New Providence as found in Wm. Hinke, R.C.R. #14 at the Schaff Library at the Lancaster Seminary. Harry L. Raub noted that this may have been 3 or 4 miles Southwest of the Lutheran Beaver Creek Church. Notes of Harry L. Raub found by Thomas G. Raub on 9 Jul 2023. He was buried in the Old Beaver Creek Cemetery (also known as Stoutzenberger's or the Old Dutch burial ground) which is southeast of Strasburg PA. The cemetery location can be approximated on deeds, but is long gone.
Here are some notes concerning the Old Dutch/Beaver Creek/Stoutzenberger cemetery which was located about a mile to a mile and a half Southeast of Strasburg, Pennsylvania at the location of one of the two school houses which are circled in red or a location described by William Frederick Worner. The left school house location is west/southwest of the intersection of present day Little Beaver Road and Bishop Road at about N 39 58 23 W 76 09 43. The right school house location is at the southwest corner of the intersection of present day Georgetown Road and Paradise Lane at about N 39 58 14 W 76 08 49. A third possible location is indicated by the following: In 1920 William Frederick Worner wrote that "all vestiges of the old log building have long since disappeared, even the greater part (which implies not all) of the old graveyard has been plowed over" ("Saint Michael's Lutheran Church Strasburg" Lancaster County Historical Society Historical Papers and Addresses 24 (1920): 180). Later, there was a small thicket at the southwest corner of Route 896 and Township Road 696 which was in the location of the church and burial ground. This would be at the southwest corner of the current Peach Lane (Route 696) and the current Georgetown Road (Route 896) at about N 39 58 02 W 76 07 10. Or N 39.9672 W 76.1194
Their children were George Raub (who changed his last name to Roup or Roop) and married Anna Cassel in 1789 in Lancaster, Jacob Raub (already linked), Jonas Raub (who changed his name to Roup and died in Pittsburgh in 1857), and Barbara Raub who married a Mr. Walter in Lancaster County.
