Individual Details
Capt. John JACOB immigrant, of Arundel Co., MD
(28 Dec 1628 - Abt 28 Oct 1726)
I have seen an alternate line that he was the son of Richard CHEYNEY (b.c.1602) of Dover, co.Kent, ENG & Catherine JARRETT; son of John JACOB, Gent. (b.1560) of Dover, co.Kent, ENG.
John came as an indentured servant to Maryland, sponsored by James Warner, Esq.of the South River Hundred in 1665. He was 33 years old. By 2 December 1674 he was able to prove his rights to fifty acres for the time of his service. He received his land warrant on 2 March 1675. His land bordered a stream later called Jacob's Creek. John Jacob was deeded before the death of this father-in-law, Richard Cheney, "for natural love and affection" 150 acres of "Cheney's Resolution", in Anne Arundel County, MD. Though the years he added to his property and acquired a large estate on the South River. In 1697 John was a member or a Judge of the Provincial Grand Jury. He witnessed the will of Richard Cheney in 1726. At that time he swore he was about ninety-four years old.
