His parents were Matthias Ifert and Barbara "Barbel" Bürgin. His siblings were Elsbeth Ifert, who died before she was a day old, Elsbeth Ifert, who also died young, Matthias Ifert, and Martin A Ifert, who was known later as Martin Eaford. Hans Joggi married Maria Schaffner on the 1st September 1760 in the Kirche Saint Margaretha in Frenkendorf, Baselland, Switzerland. She was born in May 1728 in Anwil in Baselland and Baptized in the Kirche Saint Niklaus in Oltingen in Baselland on 15 May 1728. Her parents were Jakob Schaffner, who was a Schulemeister (School Master) and a Bailiff, and Barbara Gysin. According to the Birth Records of all of his children who had been born in Switzerland, Hans Joggi had been a Schulmeister by Profession for about ten years in Rünenburg, Baselland, Switzerland before the Ifert family came to America. He may have been a teacher or possibly a farmer when he lived in Berks County in Pennsylvania and Meckelnburg/Cabarrus County in North Carolina. Hans Joggi and Maria had five children in Switzerland, Anna Ifert, Ursula Ifert, Hans Jacob Ifert, who died when he was only three months old, Maria Ifert, and Verena Ifert. Anna, Maria, and Verena were their only children who survived to emigrate with the family when they came to America in 1771 with Hans Joggi's brother Martin and his wife Anna Furler. The family arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the Ship Tyger on 19 November 1771. Two more children were born to Hans Joggi and Maria in Berks County, Pennsylvania shortly after they arrived in America. Their names were Hans Jacob Ifert, later known as "Jacob Efird", and Barbara Ifert, later known as "Barbara Efird". The family stayed in Berks County for about twelve years. By this time Hans Joggi was calling himself by the name of "Jacob" and Maria was going by the name of "Mary". There is a record for a "Jacob Efright" who served in the Revolutionary War in the 3rd Pennsylvania Continental Line. He enlisted as a Private in January 1777 and left his service with the rank of Sergeant on 18 April 1782. In 1783 Jacob and Mary Ifert took their family and traveled down the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Jacob received a land grant for land on Adams Creek on 9 October 1783. His name was listed as "Jacob Iffert" on the grant documents. In 1785 Jacob Effert and Mary Effort sold part of their land on Adams Creek to Isaac Blackwelder. They are present in the 1790 Census for Mecklenburg County. Jacob is in the 1800 and 1810 Census records for Cabarrus County, living with his son Jacob Ifert "Efird" and his family. Jacob's name is also on various land purchases and sales, and petitions, until his death. Judging from data on Census records Mary died between 1790 and 1800 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Jacob probably died in about 1814, also in Cabarrus County. Hans Joggi "Jacob" Ifert and Maria "Mary" Schaffner were the Original Immigrants of the Efird family in Stanly County, North Carolina.
