This is where the family resided 1790, moving on to TN abt 1793. I've been researching for 40+yrs, and there is absolutley no proof her mother is Elizabeth Armstrong, or that Jacob was married to an Armstrong. One of his wives was Elizabeth, who was named in a Greene Co TN deed, but nothing more is known abt her except she died bef 1800. As you know, the only wife documented is Hannah Fisher. I also believe Jacob was married at least 3x. A notation was passed along to me some yrs ago....the eldest ch Ann had written down "her stepmother had hidden her [& siblings] from the Indians when she was abt 7". I now am a volunteer on the Internet, and no longer research my own families as haven't made any headway in yrs.....time to throw in the towel. Jacob Clearwater just popped up one day out of thin air. From the Dutch records in Ulster Co NY, I researched every Jacob Klaarwater/Clearwater born about the same time we think our Jacob was born, and I have accounted for everyone of them [all died NY] "We" think the Benj. Clearwater, also in Randolph Co NC same timeframe as Jacob, may be a brother. Benj was researched, and no parents found for him either....extensive info in his RW pension file. Thanks again Phyllis Boyd Gauss
