Biography
Research Notes
- Note: Jacob was granted land in Johnston Co., North Carolina in 1758 which he deeded away and moved to Craven Co., South Carolina with his brothers around 1765. Granted land in 1771 and 1784.
- There are two traditions concerning Jacob being shot by Tories at his home around 1778. One account comes from his great grandson Joel, which states that he remembers being told that Jacob was killed when his son Joel was only 12 years old. The other account has Jacob badly injured but surviving. As Jacob was still living as late as 1806 in Georgia, this version has a better chance of being accurate.
- Soon after 1785, Jacob and most of his family moved to Montgomery County, Georgia. Tatnall county was formed from Montgomery County in 1801. The DIAS families of Tatnall are most certainly Jacob's family.
