Notes for Jacob John Crist Sr.
Page 25 of the Dore M. Frantz Burials document says that Jacob was born January 11, 1801 in Augusta County, Virginia, and died January 1849.
Lowell Beachler's submission on page 77, Volume II, Early Clark County Families, says that Jacob was born in Botetourt County, and gives his date of death as 31 Jan 1894, but this is apparently a transposition of digits, as Catherine remarried in 1851.
Lela Shoup's Annals of the Donnel's Creek District says on p. 9, "Jacob Crist was born January 16, 1801, near Berlin, Pennsylvania, and being left an orphan at an early age, he went to live with an aunt and uncle, Jonathan and Barbara (Crist) Brubaker in Roanoke County, Virginia." The paragraph continues, mentioning his marriages, children, and death. Berlin, PA is now in Somerset Co., but it was in Bedford Co. in 1801. According to Lowell Beachler, Barbara Crist who married Jonathan Brubaker was the sister, not the aunt, of this Jacob Crist. She was only 7 years his senior, so Jacob must not have been extremely young when he went to live with them. His father died in 1804, and his mother Margaretha Hob did not die until 1840.
George Heeter's "Chart of Ohmart Genealogy" has the date for the marriage of Jacob and Catherine as 10 Mar 1826.
