  In his father`s will, Jacob was to receive 400 pounds cash from his father. At a later date, his father disowned him, reason unknown. His father changed the 400 pounds to 5 pounds. After his father`s death, Jacob`s brothers gave him 1000 dollars Virginia money.
  Jacob married Catherine Smith on July 3, 1810 in Augusta County, Virginia by Reverend William King. Reverend King was an Episcopalian. Jacob`s last name was misspelled as Sweetz.
