Jacob FURR
(1757 - 1785)
Was only 6 years old when his father died. He grew up on the family plantation, married, and had four children: Mary, Elizabeth, Rosina, and Henry. However, he did not enjoy the longevity that some of his brothers did. He died at the age of 31. The court ordered that his orphan, Henry, be hired to his uncle, Henry I, until reaching the age of 21.
