! History
Jacob was a Revolutionary Pensioner. He was associated with Moorma n Lawson in
early Hawkins Co., Tennessee deeds. This Moorman and a William wer e probably
his brothers. I have yet to determine his parents, but I do believ e that a
possibility is a David found in Stokes Co., North Carolina. Accordin g to
Jacob's pension records, he was a native of Bedford Co., Va, and ha d been in
Stokes Co., North Carolina- probably to the time of his arrival in Te nnessee.
He was also closely associated with the Reynolds Family. Since one o f his sons
was named Reynolds, room for serious speculation exists. Also, one o ther
interesting thing, Andrew Moorman and one Jonas Lawson were next doo r neighbors
as early as 1725. Jonas died abt 1770 (will) in Bedford Co., Virgini a.
