Michael seems to have his Jacob pretty much in hand - so if Michael's Jacob is the son of John - I guess the big question remains - who was John? Was he a twin to Hugh, Jr. as suggested? Could it be that John and the unknown James were the two brothers who were out chopping wood and survived the attack by Indians - to be taken in by Ivester relatives? And, if they were the survivors... who were their parents and how were they connected to Hugh? If that story is true, it would explain the two extra Ivesters (James and John - James being the elder - and John possibly being around the same age as Hugh - or at least under 10 years - which would explain the second child in Barbary's household who is 0-10 - and, if James were older - it could explain why he is shown in his own household). This scenario sounds as reasonable to me as Hugh having a twin.
