29 May 2015 Birth* circa 1675 John was born circa 1675 at Northampton Co, VA. Marriage* circa 1702 He married Mary (-----) circa 1702 at Northampton Co, VA.3 Will - Father's* 31 March 1703 John was named in his father's will on 31 March 1703 at Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as son John in the will of Phillip Jacob, wife Martha.2 Land bought* 1712 He bought land in 1712 at tract N66, between Bridgeton & Marionville, Northampton Co, VA. In 1663 Richard Jacob (wife Mary) left to his son William, saying the land was on Charity's Branch which would be the southern main head branch of Church Creek and which also was the south bounds of tranct N65. 1703 After the death of William Jacob, an Esau Jacob assumed the title and he now left the land to his mother Ann Stott for life and then to his sister Ann Dolby the wife of Thomas. 1710 Ann Dolby left to her husband Thomas. Whitelaw then states that in 1711 the court gave the title to Abraham Jacob, reciting that Richard Jacob had left the land entailed to his son William, but confused the relationship between Abraham and William, saying Abraham was William's eldest brother. However, William's elder brother Abraham was shown to be a dec'd son in Richard's will. Instead Abraham was the eldest son of William's older dec'd brother Thomas. Then in 1712 Abraham and Mary Jacob sold the upper 150 acres to John Jacob and three years later Abraham alone sold him the balance, and John Jacob thus became possessed of the whole tract as shown on the patent map.4 Will* 8 February 1728/29 John made a will on 8 February 1728/29 at Northampton Co, VA.
