Jacob Tubbs was born on 4 February 1752, in Pembroke, Massachusetts. He was the son of Jacob Tubbs Sr (1719-1791) and Keturah (Angier) Tubbs (abt.1711-1794).[1]

Revolutionary War Patriot

Jacob served in the American Revolution. He was a private in Captain Freedom Chamberlain's company Colonel Bailey's regiment, which answered the alarm on 19 April 1775. He was on a return for the camp at Roxbury in 1775.[2][3]

Jacob married Desire (Crooker) Tubbs (1752-) on 7 January 1779, in Pembroke, Massachusetts.[4]

Their children, born in Pembroke, Massachusetts:

  2. Charles, b. 23 Oct 1782, in Hebron, Maine[5]

Jacob's wife Desire died about 1783, and Jacob married Jemima Churchill next. Their children: (Note: the birth records show the mother as Desire, however all histories state Desire died about 1783. No sources for her death or the marriage to Jemima have been found.)

  1. Angier, b. 18 Jan 1885[6]
  2. Nabby, bp. 12 Mar 1788[7]
  3. Sally, b.12 Aug 1788[8]
  4. Jacob, b. 12 Aug 1788[9]
  5. Samuel, b. 6 Jun 1794[10]

The family had moved to Maine, and Jacob was the first settler on Lee's grant.[11]

Jacob shows on the 1794 tax list for Rustfield (Norway), Maine.[12] In the 1800 census, Jacob and family are living in Norway, Maine.[13] The household consisted of Jacob and his wife, and 4 males and 3 females for a total of 9.

Jacob is shown on the 1816 taxpayer list for Norway, and is noted as a Revolutionary Soldier.[14]

Jacob applied for and received a pension for his Revolutionary War service. He appears on the list for Maine. His pension started on 20 May 1818, and he received payments in Sep 1818, Mar 1819, Sep 1819, and the last payment was in Mar 1820.[15]

The 'Descendants of William Tubbs of Duxbury' states Jacob died probably in Abbot, Maine, during the 1820s. Jacob first moved to Hebron, and about 1795 he moved to Norway. He squatted on the Lee Grant, farming 200 acres. In 1810, he purchased this tract from Lee. This book also states Jemima, his wife, was age 68 at death.

The 'History of Norway, Maine' states Jacob's wife was Jemima Churchill, and they had six children. Jacob Tubbs went with his son Samuel to Abbot, Maine, and died there.[16]
