Good Evening Chocy, To answer your question., I believe that you are looking at a totally different Jacob Rinker. See below. Shenandoah County Chancery Suit 1844-007 Peter Miller VS Thomas Jefferson Rinker To the County Court of Shenandoah County in Chancery sitting: Respectively complaining sheweth unto the court, your orator, Peter Miller, of said county, that in the division of the lands of Jacob Rinker Jr. deceased, there was assigned jointly to Catharine and Thomas J. Rinker, two of the children of said Jacob Rinker, a tract of land lying in said county on Black Oak Ridge containing Eighty six acres and three quarters. That the said Catharine Rinker afterwards died under age, unmarried and without issue, leaving her interest in said land to descend to the said Thomas J. Rinker a brother of the whole blood, to Samuel Rinker, Henry St. John Rinker and Jacob George Rinker brothers of the half blood and to Mary the wife of Daniel Fravel, a sister of the half blood, ............. It goes on, but there's no point in putting it on the List. You can read it in it's entirety on the Library of Virginia website. >From this Chancery suit, we are now wondering exactly which is correct. That Jacob George Rinker is a son of Mary Fravel or that he is a son of Elizabeth Haas. We just can't figure out how two boys could be fourteen years of age as referred to in the Chancery Suit and not be twins, unless one was born in the very beginning of the year and the other born at the end of the same year. But then again, that doesn't work for the death of Jacob Rinker Jr. in 1831. So, since the court chancery records are contradictory in nature from case to case, and census records are not there for Jacob George Rinker to compare with brother Thomas J. Rinker, therefore, put Jacob George Rinker with which ever mother you prefer. My brain is fried for the night! Gloria B.
