Jacob Truax was born no later than 1730 based on his Will, dated 1807 in Belmont Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. His proven son John Truax was born in 1755, placing the year of birth of this Jacob Truax before 1730.

The 1785 Will of Elias Stillwell names daughter Rebecca Coombes. There was clearly no such woman as “Rebecca Stillwell”. The 1807 Will of Jacob Truax names wife Ruth.

There is absolutely no proof that I have yet discovered that proves that Ruth was a Pittman, or the date of their marriage.

There is no "Jacob LaRue Truax", or "LaRue Jacob Truax". I have not personally yet seen any document that proves Sarah, wife of Philip Truax, was a LaRue.

Records from Bedford County, Pennsylvania were not burned, or lost, or destroyed despite what has been claimed. They are still extant. There was a Jacob Truax Sr., and a Jacob Truax Jr. living at the same time in Bedford County, Pennsylvania in the 1770's.

Jacob Truax Sr. disappears from the Bethel, Bedford County, Pennsylvania Tax Lists in 1774, making the date of death for this elder Jacob Truax likely around that date. This also clearly differentiates between the two men, as the younger was the only one alive and of a young enough age to have been the Revolutionary War Patriot.

This Jacob Truax Jr. is the one that died after 27 October 1807.

Sr. and Jr. during this time period, do not necessarily indicate a parent-child relationship. This is the problem everyone has hit with this Truax line. The Jacob Truax named in the Will of Philip Truax, could refer to this younger Jacob Truax, who we have proof was of legal age in 1750.

Assuming that Philip Truax was born 1676, and being certain that Jacob the younger was born before 1730, the Jacob Truax named in the Will of Philip Truax could be Jacob Truax the younger, or Jacob Truax the elder. I have seen some claim there is a record where Jacob Truax Jr. appointed someone else as the administer of the estate of Philip Truax, citing distance as the reason. However, I have never seen this document to know if the record really names "Jr.", or not, because that would be a significant piece of evidence if it names Jacob Jr. instead of Jacob Sr..
