On November 9, 1764, Jacob is the recipient of a 130-acre grant on Lick Branch of
Buffalo Creek. Two years later Jacob and his wife Catherine sell this land to
Jacob Tagget on August 20, 1766. This land is "about one mile above" Paul Barringer's land.
There are many other land transactions including a Jan 2, 1796 sale by a Jacob Cline
and Catherine to son-in-law George Klontz ,
part of the 214-acre tract on Buffalo Creek next to Henry Long that Jacob acquired
on Aug 4, 1787 from George Tucker. The sale may have been executed by Jacob Jr.
since both of his parents had died by then. |
