According to A History of Shenandoah County Virginia, by John W. Wayland, Ph.D., Jacob Bear or Bar lived in Rockbridge County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth Blosser and they had the following children, among others:
- Elizabeth Bear, who married James Dunlap of Rockbridge;
- Jacob Bear of Lexington, Virginia; and
- Esther Bear, who married Rev. Daniel Hite. [1]
There is no mention there of the wife or children listed below, and this Jacob appears to have been confused with Jacob Bear of Rockingham County, Virginia.
On 22 Oct 1792 he and his wife Elizabeth (said to be of Rockbridge County, Virginia) and his siblings and their spouses - Peter Blauser and wife Magdalena and Isaac Roadcap and his wife Anna - sold his father Blasius' 314 acres to George Roadcap. [2]
According to a Research Note about him on the profile for his father Blasious Bear (abt.1718-abt.1791):

The following text was in a previous, unsourced version of this biography. It appears to confuse this profiled Jacob with Jacob Bear, whose wife was Anna Barbara Miller. No evidence has been found that this profiled Jacob had a wife named Barbara Miller (or similar) or any of the children listed here:
Jacob was born in about 1739, the son of Biasiois and Esther Bear. He may have married first, Elizabeth Blosser. They had no children.
