The Jacob Shook I am looking for is probably the father of your Jacob Shook! He moved from Lincoln Co., NC late 1700s, and settled in Haywood Co., NC. Same family, wrong generation. I am looking for land and court records to establish exactly when Jacob Shook sr moved to Haywood Co., NC which was at that time Buncombe Co., NC. Wylene Jacob Shook applied for Rev War pension in Haywood Co NC in 1833 at age 84. He was awarded $20/annum. There were supporting statements of his pension by Andrew Shook and Jacob Fulbright. -
