Theresa Jacobs and Harrison T. Jones lived in Sevier Co., Ark. before they
moved to Collin Co., Tx., near Dallas, Tx. ... In the 1830 census there
were a few Jacobs living in that area. Since she was 20 yrs. old in 1850
and born in Ark. some of these Jacobs "may" be related to her. I am
interested in ... Jacobs' family which may have moved with them (to Texas).
I need some help, if some one knows anything about these Jacobs, Notify me.
Nathaniel Jacobs Hempstead Co.
Joseph Jacobs Monroe Co.
William Jacobs Lafayette Co.
John Jacobs Lafayette Co.
Hissy Jacobs Lafayette Co.
Also the name Nathalia came up in connection with her name. I don't know if
I got the right spelling though.
Thank You,
Donald Hunter

I read your queries on GenForum about Theresa Jacobs. Although I do not
have information about her or her family, at least I have information about
Nathaniel Jacobs, that can serve in the process of elimination.
