11. In 1752, some members of the meeting complained that Jacob was guilty of 'breach of promise concerning the price of a Createre.' In the 9th month (Nov), Jacob produced the following document which was recorded in the record: 'Friends as it was your desire I should be at this meeting to Clear the truth of the Scandal I have brought upon it by my breach of promise for the which I am very sorrey and hopes to be more careful for time to come.

15. On August 19, 1768, Jacob bought two tracks of land, one containing 272 acres and the other 106 acres, at Sandy Creek in Orange County, North Carolina. He bought this land from Herman Husband for forty pounds. The deed identifies Jacob as a weaver by profession.

16. The same Herman Husband later became leader of the radical group known as the 'Regulators.' After a climatic battle between this group and the provincial army in 1771, several of the movement's leaders faced execution. Jacob and some of his sons signed petitions asking for clemency for the condemned rebels. It is not known how much Jacob or his sons were involved in this movement, but it is interesting to note that shortly after the collapse of the movement, most of Jacob's sons returned to Pennsylvania for a time.
