Note: nd 1870 Monroe County census records. This is also the source for the birth year and location of Hannah. The birth year on the 1860 census is abt 1834 and on the 1870 census is abt 1830-1831. I have entered the average. The marriage year is based on the age of the oldest child on the 1860 census.

A little detour here: there are a few Public Member Family Trees on Ancestry.com which claim this Jacob married Laura Minerva McClelland on 23 Aug 1863 in Yamhill County, Oregon and died in Ada County, Idaho in 1894. There IS a Jacob Diehl married to a Laura on the 1870 and 1880 Idaho census who was born in Pennsylvania in 1818-1820:

They are both on FindaGrave.com online buried in the Pioneer cemetery in Ada County, Idaho. At present the keepers of these trees are unable to document the marriage or why they have connected Jacob Diehl, the son of Jacob Diehl and Catharine Fritz, to the Jacob who died in Idaho.
The search is opened a bit by there being two other Jacob Diehls, both also born 1817-1818 on the 1850 and 1860 census Pennsylvania records, one on the 1850 and 1860 Upper Saucon, Lehigh County census, and the other in Bucks County on the 1850 census (the county of our Jacob's birth).

Regarding the various Jacob Diehls cited and specifically regarding the Jacob who married Hannah and lived in Monroe County, a researcher from the Bucks County Library wrote the following to me in 2015:
"I can confirm that the Jacob of Springfield Twp. is the son of Abraham Diehl. I didn't have parents for Jacob G. of Upper Saucon but several trees on Rootsweb have him as the son of Jacob & Catharine (Gernet) Diehl and that makes sense given the middle initial G. So I'd rule him out. So that leaves two candidates: Jacob of Idaho and Jacob of Stroudsburg, Monroe County. As you note, these are clearly different people. In the absence of any documented evidence on the Ancestry Family Trees for the Idaho Jacob I'd vote for Jacob of Stroudsburg as the son of Jacob Diehl born 1769."
And from Ed Deal also in 2015:
"I looked at the Family trees posted on Ancestry on the other Jacob Diehl who went from PA to Oregon and Idaho and found them very annoying.....not a single shred of primary evidence cited. I can see your confusion, as they have his father as a different Jacob Diehl.......If they would just present the SOURCES of the evidence so each researcher could weigh the merits, my life would be much easier. I waste too much time disproving uncited trees. (sorry for the rant, it's a pet peeve of mine).
HOWEVER, let us assume that their statement of this Jacob Diehl being born in 1817 in Richland Twp., Bucks Co. is correct. Then he cannot be the son of your Jacob Diehl and Catharine Fritz, since it seems clear all their children were born in Northampton Co. Agree????
I did look at my notes on the Jacob & Hannah Diehl in Stroudsburg, Monroe Co. and I had annotated the group sheet that he was a prime candidate for being your Jacob, son of Jacob Diehl & Catharine Fritz. ONE CLUE: The death notice for him in 1889 in the Jeffersonian Republican newspaper says he "...came to Monroe County from Northampton County about 50 years ago." "
So that is a lot of data to simply clarify that the Idaho Diehl is not our man. Based on supporting evidence that two of his siblings- Catharine and Samuel -also settled in Stroudsburg, Monroe County I connect this Jacob with Jacob Diehl, the son of Jacob and Catharine.
The source for the maiden name of Hannah is from the 1920 Pennsylvania State Death Certificate no. 22875 for Sylvester who died in Monroe County, one of the sons of Jacob and Hannah listed on the 1860 and 1870 census cited at the top of the page. The parents are listed as Jacob 'Deihl' and Hannah Rouch. The same parents are listed on the 1920 Pennsylvania State Death Certificate no. 94395 of their unmarried daughter Elmira 'Deihl'. The parents are again listed as Jacob 'Deihl' and Hannah Rouch.
It seems that this family spelled the surname 'Deihl'.
Note: The sources for the marriage and children of Jacob Diehl are the 1860 a
