	As Zenger's family was poor and his career prospects were limited in Mannheim, Jacob followed the promise of a better life and signed up as a soldier. After several years in the service, he was shipped to New York, as one of the Hessians sent to fight for the British in the [[American Revolutionary War\|Revolutionary War]]. Although reluctant to leave, Jacob was confident that his wife was strong enough by herself and so too would their son be.<ref name="Database" />		As Zenger's family was poor and his career prospects were limited in Mannheim, Jacob followed the promise of a better life and signed up as a soldier.
