Notes for Jacob Wetzel: Have seen Jacob Wetzel referred to John Jacob Wetzel ==================================================================== From Lewis Yankey book, "The Whetzel Family" The old Souders said Jacob Whetzel, the youngest son of Henry, used to take his axe into Mine Mountain and shop pieces of lead from the cliffs to make bullets for his hunting gun. On Sept 24, 1816 Jacob Whetzel got a deed for 83 acres of the 104 acres of the estate of his father from the other 9 heirs. On Sept 30, 1816, Jacob joined all the other heirs of Henry Whetzel in conveying Henry's 1/4 inducted interest in his father Martin's estate to Fredrick Dove not clearly described.This land being jointly owned by Fredrick and George Dove. The 1817 tax lists "Jacob Whetzel 83 acres by the Henry Whetzel heirs" the remaining 21 acres remained in the estate as the widows dower who lived with Jacob according to the 1830 census.This land is listed in 1817 Rockingham Co. lists this land as 29 miles north of the Court house.Land valued at $290 and buildings at $85.The 21 acres set aside for the widow of Henry taxed at $73 for land and $17 for buildings.

The 1842 deed of trust book (16p432) shows Jacob as owning 3 tracts 83, 21, and 52 acres making a total of 156 acres adjoining Philip Souder on Crab Run.This new 52 acres survey is assessed to Jacob Whetzel Sr. in the 1847 tax as 52-7-25 acres.He is here called Jacob Sr. to distinguish him from the younger son of John Whetzel. In 1847 tax Jacob Whetzel Sr. 52-1-25 including a new patent to him by a 1842 deed. The 21 acres was still taxed to the Henry Whetzel Estate but removed after that and in 1848-49 tax Jacob Whtzel 94 acres $253, buildings $150, 29 miles north of the Court House, true number of acres after a resurvey.In 1851 Jacob Whetzel 94 acres Crab Run, Brocks Gap.He conveyed 62 acres of his 156 acres to his son Pearson Whetzel between 1842 deed and 1848 tax.
