If not - who was that Jacob? >>Ok Fran -- will try to answer your question above. There are two mystery Jacob Ivester folks... Mike.. we need you here....First of all - Mike's Jacob - here is what I have...Jacob Ivester - b. 28 mar 1839 in NCmd.Mary Jane Carnahan on 16 Nov. 1862 Iron Co., Missouri.Interesting enough - Mary Jane Carnahan is from my Carnahan line also so Mike and I are related in two ways.Jacob is found on the 1850 census of Wayne Co., Missouri as age 8 living with William C. Eddington and his wife Cary Eddington. Also listed is Elizabeth Ivestry age 6, b. Ga. and CAry L. Ivester, age 3, b. Ga.My best guess is that Cary Eddington was originally married to a Ivester and that he died and she then married William C. Eddington.The age 8 in the 1850 census does not match with the 1839 birth date but we all know census records and that they are sometimes not accurate. He appears in the 1880 census as age 39 and the 1900 census as age 60. And now my mystery Jacob -- this one is Ruby's also...The 1850 census for Walker Co., Georgia shows the following:Jacob Ivester - age 30 - farmer - b. NCNancy - age 24 - b. SCJohn - age 5 - b. GaMonroe - age 3 - b. GaReuben - age 1 - b. Ga.Elizabeth - age 1 - b. Ga.and the 1860 census of Craighead Co., Arkansas shows thisJacob Ivester - age 41 - farmer - b. NCJancy E. - 30 - SCJohn A. - 15 - GaAsa M. - 13 - Ga.Joseph H. - 4 - ArkWm. R. - 2 - Arkalso in the 1860 census for Craighead Co., Arkansas is this familyJohn B Eason - 39 - farmer - Ga.Elmina - 28 - SCJames - 11 - GA.John A. - 9 - Ga.Joseph H. - 3 - Ga.Asa A. - 1 - ArkSarah Hawkins - 12 - ArkBy the way - John Eason is also in Walker Co., Ga. but I need to copy that census record - only have an index on that one as I did not know about the Eason connection when I searched that microfilm.This is the Jacob Ivester family who are in Stoddard Co., Mo in 1870. And the Asa Monroe Ivester is my great grandfather.The Elmina listed as wife of John B. Eason is Elmina Elvira Ivester.And we believe that Nancy who is listed as the wife of Jacob Ivester is Nancy Eason.We have also been working on the idea that John Eason and Nancy Eason are brother and sister and Elmina Elvira Ivester and Jacob Ivester are brother and sister.And.. the theory we have been working on is that this Jacob Ivester and Elmina Elvira Ivester are the children of one of Hugh & Barbara Ivester's sons. We are pretty certain they do not belong to George. So started looking at the other 3 - Jacob, Hugh, and John (if he is a son of Hugh). Dorothy and I have always picked John Ivester and Elizabeth Helms as the most likely parents for these two. Common naming patterns were to name the first son after the father's father. Jacob and Nancy Ivester named their first son John A. Ivester and John and Elmina Eason named their second son John A. Eason. Both families also named sons Asa and Joseph. Janice has come up with some evidence that indicates that Jacob Ivester - son of Hugh & Barbara - also had a son Jacob. And her theory is really interesting.So we still have a mystery here as well.Can send more info. on my Jacob later... just wanted to get the basics in tonight...Anyone got any ideas???????????????Take care - Emma

The Civil War papers for Jacob Ivester (1839-1910) state father as being John Ivester. That's as far as we go on this line for sure.
