Page 422 of "Maxwell History and Genealogy" states the Jacob Kimes that died in Nicholas Co, KY, ca 1839, served in the Chester Co [PA] militia during the Rev. War. There WAS a Jacob Kimes that served in the Chester Co militia and the Jacob that moved to Bourbon Co, KY, DID live in the area during this time, but Missie, Jackie, and I have been researching this family, and we've yet to discovered the identity of the Jacob that served in the Chester Co militia.
