Notes for CAPT. JOHN JACOB:
From Anne Arundel Gentry, p. 424: John Jacob 1 (1632-1726)

"John Jacob, the pioneer, was a member of the Established Church of England and transferred his faith to many of his descendants. The early records of the Episcopal parishes of Anne Arundel and Prince George's Counties contain numerous names of births, baptisms, and marriages of the Jacobs.

"In 1681 John Jacob married Anne, the twenty-year old daughter of Richard Cheney, a neighboring planter of South River. The baptism of Anne was evidently neglected, for in the early records of All Hallow's Parish appears the following: 'Anne the wife of John Jacobs Sr. was baptized July 6, 1720.'

"The will of John Jacob was dated 4 Jun 1719, proved 1 Dec 1726. He was buried from All Hallows Church 29 Oct 1726. Anne died in the spring of 1730, was buried from the parish church on 1 May 1730."

From Colonial Families in the United States, Vol. 5: Capt. John Jacob, of Anne Arundel County, Maryland; b. in Dover, England, in 1629; came to America in 1665; d. 1702. In addition to grants of land from the Crown, he bought several large tracts in Anne Arundel County and became a tobacco planter. At that time his cousin, Sir John Jacob, was at the head of the tobacco business of England, and Lloyd in his "Memoirs of Eminent People," who suffered for their loyalty, says, "The Worshipful Sir John Jacob, a man ever ready to assist his Majesty, declared, 'What! shall I keep my estate and see the King want? If it please God to bless the King, though I give him all I have, I can be no loser.'" The Crown owed him more than L200,000, which it could not pay, but the King created him a Baronet in 1790, it is now in abeyance. Capt. John Jacob was an Officer of Colonial Forces, and was a prominent and prosperous man in that section of Maryland. His will and those of his sons are on file at Annapolis.

This Baronetcy continued to the Fifth Baronet, Sir Clement Brydges Jacob, who dying without issue in 1790, it is now in abeyance.

Among Jacob researchers, there is disagreement about the identity of John's father.
Some think that his father was a brother of Richard Jacob. This relationship has not been proved.
