I don't know who we were there, but from what I've discovered the location seems correct. Unfortunately my Jacob just appeared when he got married in Maryland and not a clue exists as to whence he came. Do you have any dates regarding either your first Jacob (perhaps in American, perhaps not) or his son John which you listed as your ancestor. That would be a little help in accepting or rejecting your line for further exploration. As of now all the Jacob Lesher are all simply maybe lines which gives little direction. Thank you.
