Notes for Jacob KISTLER
Source of information below: Carolyn K. Buttolph, Fairfax, VA, KISTLER FAMILIES OF NORTH CAROLINA (unpublished). Letters in brackets ( ) indicate Buttolph's reference code for the individual.
Jacob (BEA) was born about 1797; he probably was the child of his father's first marriage. LDS records show that Jacob married Mary Pool on 8/24/1818 in Rowan County, NC. About 1825, Jacob and his family moved to Illinois. This can be deduced from the age and birthplace of his sons, John (BEAB) and Jacob (BEAC), as shown in Census records. In 1842, Jacob (BEA) of Illinois is mentioned in a real estate transaction involving the estate of his father in North Carolina. The 1830 Census records show Jacob was then located in Johnson County, IL. The Jacob Kiestler family then consisted of one male, age 30-40 (Jacob, BEA); one female , age 30-40 (his wife); one male, 10-15 (John, BEAB); two females, 5-10 (one of these must be Susannah Lucinda, BEAA); one male
under 5 (Jacob, BEAC); and two females under 5 (one of these must be Adalilne, BEAD). On 1/4/1838, his daughter, Susannah Lucinda (BEAA), was married in Johnson County. The 1850 Census records for Johnson County, IL, show Jacob "Kesler", age unknown; his son, Jacob Kesler, age 24; Adaline, age 22; Nancy, age 17; and William, age 14. The birthplace of the senior Jacob is shown as North Carolina; all others in the household were born in Illinois.
