[edit] Information on Jacob PenceFrom research conducted and compiled by the late Richard A. Pence of Fairfax, Virginia: 1 JACOB PENCE was born about 1710 probably in Germany; married Catherine _____ [also called Mary Catherine in some records] about 1737; died near Cub Run, Augusta (now Rockingham) Co VA before 27 Feb 1750/51 when his brother Valentine Pence gave bond as executor of his will, dated 20 Dec 1750. Will mentions his sons Jacob and George, each to have a third with their mother, unnamed, "when they come of age." Jacob, George, John and William Pence, and Christian Persinger (husband of Jacob's daughter Barbara), received settlement in 1768 from Peter Miller, who was executor of Valentine Pence's will. Jacob Pence's widow remarried to Jacob Persinger, date not known, and they went to Botetourt Co VA. Children: 11 JACOB PENCE was no doubt the John Jacob Bentz, son of Jacob Bentz, whose birth on 3 Feb 1739 (baptized 15 Apr 1739, sponsors: Peter Rousch and wife) was recorded in the personal journal of the Rev. John Casper Stoever as the son of Jacob Bentz, Swatara (the DAR record that he was born 20 Dec 1730 is in error as he was only just coming of age about 1762); died - Feb 1800 [1806 deed record] at Cub Run, Rockingham Co VA; married Catherine Persinger about - Feb 1763 in Augusta Co (after her father and his stepfather Jacob Persinger brought suit for breach of promise). 12 GEORGE PENCE was no doubt the John George Bentz, son of Jacob Bentz, Swatara, whose birth on 9 Apr 1743 (baptized 23 May 1743, spnosors: John George Kuntz and wife) was recorded in the personal journal of the Rev. John Casper Stoever (some say George was born at sea in 1737, but this appears impossible as neither he nor his older brother were of age when their father wrote his will in 1750); died 19 Dec 1816 (other dates given, including especially 1819) Sullivan Co TN; married (1) Sarah Perkey about 1764 (before 18 Aug 1764 when they were sponsors at a baptism) probably in Augusta Co VA, (2) Margaret Carpenter (alias Zimmerman) 12 Oct 1782 Rockingham Co VA; he was a captain in the Revolution; moved to Sullivan Co about 1812; may have been in Orange Co earlier. 13 WILLIAM PENCE was born about 1745 possibly in Lancaster Co PA; died before 20 Jul 1819 (will filed in Rockingham Co); married Elizabeth _____ abpit 1774 (probably Price or Breis; she died 24 Aug 1835 in Preble Co OH). 14 JOHN PENCE was born about 1747 in Augusta Co VA; died 10 Jun 1826 Shelby Co KY; married (1) Margaret Perkey about 1768 in VA, (2) Barbara Zimmerman (alias Carpenter) 10 Jan 1783 Rockingham Co VA; moved to Shelby Co about 1811 after having lived in Orange Co VA. 15 BARBARA PENCE was possibly the Maria Barbara Bentz recorded, along with John Jacob and John George (above) as being born 29 Oct 1740 (baptized 26 Mar 1741, sponsor: Maria Elizabetha Borst) as recorded in the personal journal of the Rev. John Casper Stoever (this, however, is contradicted by an Augusta Co VA court rectord that would put her birth in about 1748); married Christopher (Christian) Persinger (her stepbrother) 14 Nov 1768 Botetourt Co VA; to OH and IL; son of Jacob; a John Christian Persinger was born 8 Jan 1742, baptised Christ (Little Tulpehoeken) Church, Jefferson Twp, Berks Co PA (then a part of Lancaster Co).
