Jacob was born somewhere between 1674-1727...I found one who died on August 13, 1781 in Athol, Massachusetts, which could be him. He was married to Mary Farr who was born in Billerica, Massachusetts, so it connects, however an estimate I found claims he died somewhere between 1751-1811. I don't know where he was born, and that is part of what I am looking for.

So I believe in fairies, myths, dragons. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
