I just really feel that your Jacob goes back to Hugh and I also think my Jacob does too. In the 1820 census of Rutherford Co., NC John Ivester - son of Hugh and Barbara is listed with 2 young children. I wonder if one of those sons was my Jacob and one of them the John that is the father of your Jacob. And now just a reminder to all of you..
