Anybody interested in the Jacobs ... I was looking at a copy made from the accounts book of Elijah Pope housed at the Indiana State Historical Archives and came across a new entry for Jacob: "Jacob Surginner ____ of to the March 8, 1779" So we have a Jacob in 1750 Edgecombe Co., NC, a son of William/Mary (the Baptist Minister) A Jacob 1761-62 Halifax Co., NC This new entry for a Jacob in 1779 Then a Jacob in 1790 Montgomery Co., VA (part that became Grayson Co.) Same Jacob? Different? Also in Elijah Pope's accounts book is an entry where he paid JOHN SURGINNER but it is not dated. Only one of the names in this section of accounts shows up in Montgomery (Grayson) Co., VA, so I don't know when/where Elijah Pope was at the time, although one entry does refer to "rent money of Virginia." Elijah Pope was b.4 Jan 1763 Edgecombe Co., NC - his mother was Olive Surgener, d/o Robert and Catherine Surgener. Ruby
