Land Transactions:

On December 29, 1810, Jacob Pickering, and Lydia his wife, of Jefferson County, Ohio, conveyed 150 acres in Sec. 34, Township 9 North, Range 5 West, Harrison County, Ohio to Sampson Robson of Belmont County, Ohio.[16]

By instrument dated June 2, 1821, Jacob Pickering Sr., and Lydia his wife, both of Harrison County, Ohio conveyed 74 and 25/100ths acres in Sec. 34, Township 9 North, Range 5 West in the same county, to Hiram Pickering of the same county.[18]
By instrument dated June 2, 1821, Jacob Pickering Sr., and Lydia his wife, both of Harrison County, Ohio conveyed 81and 86/100ths acres in Sec. 34, Township 9 North, Range 5 West in the same county, to Jacob Pickering, Jr. of the same county.[19]

Jacob Pickering and his family were enumerated in the 1820 and 1830 census for Harrison Co, Ohio.

Ohio Tax Records: 1810: Cadiz, Jefferson County, Ohio.[22] or Kirkwood, Belmont, Ohio.[23]1820-1823: Archer Township, Harrison, Ohio.[24][25] [26][27][28] 1830: Moorfield Township, Harrison, Ohio.[29]

Death and Burial:

The Flushing MM records state that Jacob Pickering passed away on 28 Feb, 1832[30] and that he was buried at "Flushing".

The unsourced FindAGrave memorial has his buried at the Friends Township Cemetery, Barnesville, Belmont County, Ohio [31], but I suspect that this memorial should be for Jacob Pickering (1750-abt.1832) who was the son of Samuel Pickering, Jr.

Research Notes

Two Jacob Pickerings died in Belmont County, Ohio in the same year. Jacob Pickering (1750-abt.1832) and Jacob Pickering (1756-1832). They were first cousins.

By 1771, there are two Lydia Adams: One is the daughter of John and Hannah Adams who married Jacob Pickering in 1788. The second is Lydia Malin who married William Adams, also son of John and Hannah Adams, brother to Lydia.[32] Consequently the Lydia Adams listed as witness in various wedding witness lists (above) could be either. Those after 1788 more likely to be Lydia Malin Adams as Lydia Adams Pickering would have gone by her married name. There was also a third Lydia Adams: Lydia Pickering Adams, Jacob's sister who married John Adams Jr, brother to Jacob's 2nd wife. WHEW!
