Jacob Straw

  General Notes:

Son's name and estimated DOB per research of Rodney and Claire Peverley.

I have assigned the Jacob Straw who married Climena Yeaton and Phebe Berry as this son based on the date of birth and proximity he had with the Aaron Straw family. Aaron lived in Ellsworth about the time of Jacob's birth and Jacob and his family remained pretty much in the Grafton County area. Also there is one other coincidence. Jacob married a woman named Climena and so did Aaron's son Ezra who married a Climena Steele. Also Jacob and Climena had two daughters, Sarah named for Climena's mother and Eunice for Jacob's mother.
