Hi Nancy, I've been pondering the info that you sent. Seems I have seen it before and figured it was doubtful. Still feel that way for several reasons. 1) Our Jacob was the son of Valentine. There does not seem to be any connection between Valentine and Johannes, as I'm sure you have seen on this list. 2) Our Jacob was born April 10, 1764. 3) Cindy just sent me census records for Fredrick Co. MD and Jefferson Co. VA. Seems there was a Jacob in both places. The one in Jefferson Co. matches the child count and ages for our Jacob. The Fredrick Co. one does not. 4) Edward Kime II has land records that show our Jacob moved to VA about 1809, soon after his father died. So looks to me like the History Book may have combined the two Jacobs, totally confusing those of us who are trying to straighten all this out...LOL Now I wonder where he got the info...hmmm Hope your holiday season was great! Now the quiet let down after the first of the year is a good time to get back into genealogy....yea! :>) Nola nancythomson wrote: > Nola asked: > >Hmmmm.... are you saying the "older Jacob" actually was in northern OH > >for a time? > >Any idea what years? > Nola, I have this in my records.
