Notes for: Jacob Hendershot

Jacob served in the Revolutionary War. Other information says Jacob was born on July 6, 1747 (He may have been born in Sussex County, New Jersey). This other information says he died on February 14, 1828. (Ruth Murray also has him born July 1747 and died on Feb. 14, 1828.) Jacob died in Buck Valley (now Fulton County) in Bedford County. Most of the information on this family came from Bob and Kay Macrino at "bobnkaymac at sssnet.com". They also mentioned the book on the Hendershott's by Albert Hendershott of Akron, Ohio, 1960.

Dave,

I have very much appreciated your web site. It is well researched and helps clear up a very confusing family line. I am a descendant of this John & Catherine Bodine Hendershot.

I just wanted to clue you in on another area of confusion. Alfred Hendershot's book does name Jacob Hendershot's wife as Effie Paugh. However, William Hendershott's book that adds to and attempts to correct any known mistakes in Alfred's work says that the Jacob Hendershot who married Effie was a cousin born very close to the same date. Thus the different dates of birth and mention of spouses between what you have and the question posted in your notes. Jacob & Effie Paugh's children are listed in his will which I believe can be found on the Hendershot researchers web site.

Thanks & keep up the good work!
Stan Hendershot

Dave,

I was just on your Bodine page and looking up Catharine Bodine who was married to John Hendershot. Could you share your source for John's middle name "George"? This is the first time I have come across a wife's name for their son Jacob (1747). Could you give me some source information or lead me in the right direction for Effie Paugh? I have Jacob b. Jul 1747 d. 14 Feb 1828, spouse unknown> Jacob H. Hendershot b. abt 1783 married to Mary Louise Stevens b. abt 1785 > John M. Hendershot b. abt 1819 d. 6 Oct 1873 married 1844 to Elizabeth Powell b. 15 Mar 1822 d. 28 Aug 1911> Margaret Hendershot b. 27 Feb 1857 d. 1941 married to James R. Mellott b. 2 Nov. 1860 d. 11 May 1939. (Margaret Hendershot and James R. Mellott are my great great grandparents.)

Thanks for sharing your information on your site,

Ruth Murray
