Biography
Jacob Epting has German Roots.
Birth: 28 Apr 1745 in Rötenberg. Johann Jacob was the son of Johann Adam Hepding and Christina Barbara Osiander.[1]
Jacob had a number of land transactions between 1761 and 1790, as follows:
- three tracts of land; one for 250 acres and two for 50 acres on 9/17/176; with location describe as Broad River, Crims Creek, Holmans Creek and Saluda River
- under the name "Eptin" 730 acres on Cannons and Bear Creeks on 9/12/1790
- under the name "Eptin" 55 acres on Broad River on 12/21/1790
- under the name "Apting" 100 acres on Broad River on 3/22/1773
There is also an "account audited" for a claim (File #2235) growing out of the Revolutionary War.
In the 1790 census record Jacob's household as having one over 16, 3 males under 16 and 5 females. He listed as living on Crims Creek, which was in the southern part of the Dutch Fork area.
It is not known when Jacob died, but probably between 1790 and 1800. In Theodore Epton's it is stated his son David was "young." David would have been seven years of age in 1790.
