No, Jacob and Catherine are both buried at the Henkelite Cemetery , Mt. Pleasant NC . That is in Cabarrus Co. I am wondering if he bought land after his fathers death ? His brother David apparently ended up with Martin's land. they sold their interest in Martin's lands to their youngest brother David after Martin died. I guess each one ended up with about 87 Spanish Milled Dollars-- Funny story was that the Harkey's in Harkey's Valley think there is gold buried there and people have stories about someone going out at night digging up the Valley looking for this Gold; Any way we need to know more about Jacob. Where exactly was his land? I have looked and I don't even have them on census ! Did Jacob leave a will? Does someone have this information?
