Jacob Stuart and Nancy Brittain of Buncombe Co, NC and Fannin Co, GA (1355 words)
Jacob did live in Buncombe Co, NC, apparently in the same area as Nathaniel, and Nathaniel did have an unknown son the right age to be Jacob.
Jacob was apparently home with his parents for the 1786 census (age "under 21", born ca 1765/86), and in 1787 (age "under 21", born ca 1766/87).
Jacob did not appear to be home with his father for the 1800 census, but his brother Edward had an "extra" male with him who was Jacob's age.

Jacob explains how Abraham knew that was the mountain he was to ascend: the sign of the Son beckoned him; the mystical symbol gestured to him to ascend.
Jacob's reading of the text might in fact be seen as a rather sophisticated reconstruction of the field of reality at work in the Genesis narrative through a process of gap-filling by means of the razâ.
