Thanks Rick. I was wondering what Jacob Remy it could be. The only Jacob Remy I know of in the genealogy was the immigrant Jacob., and he died about 55 years before the Revolutionary War. I know there has been some question as to whom this Jacob's second wife really was. My information indicates she was Mary Spencer Miles, a widow and the daughter of Nicholas Spencer, the nobleman to whom Jacob was indentured when he came to America. Can anyone elaborate on this?
