We don't know where Jacob and Nancy were born but the came to the Mason Cou. area of KY from VA just before 1800. All of their children were born there. In the 1830's all but one son moved to MO and ARK. The majority of them stayed there. Elisha's descendents moved on to KS and NE. The move was to avoid the war. Neither Jacob nor Elisha had any thing to do with war. Elisha married Mary Van Camp Dawson.
