With Jacob Hauser and wife Margreth as sponsors. He owned in the Liberty Hill Community between Fourth Creek and the South Yadkin River before 1808 in Iredell Co., North Carolina.(21) The land that had been granted to a Charles Mc Donald. The property was sold to James Moore, who then bequeathed it to his son, William. William sold the property to Jacob on January 26, 1807 but in 1808 it was sold by Shriff to a Jesse Fortune. He appeared in the census in 1810 in Iredell Co., North Carolina.(22) He was shown with 2 males children ages 0-10; 2 males 10-16; 1 male 26-45; 1 female 0-10; 1 female 10-16; and 1 female 26-45.

Also from the inventory of the estate of John Sharpe, Jacob purchased 1 keg for $3.00, 1 black steer, 1 muled steer, and 1 sorrell colt.
Then on 29 Jun 1818, the widow of John Sharpe, Lilly (McCoy) Sharpe, wrote her will and it was probated in May 1820. It seems evident that by the time she wrote the will, Jacob had left, or was planning to leave, North Carolina. At least he seems to have "fallen out of favor" with his mother-in-law. She left several items of wearing apparel and her household and kitchen furniture to her daughters, Esther and Besty (Elizabeth). She left to her grand-daughters, Sophia Hovarter, a bedstead and cord (Sic), a chest of drawers, a falling leaf table and a skillet. She further states in her will that this is to be Sophia's property and is "not to be in the power of Jacob for a moment nor any person for him". She also left to her daughter Betsy, her looking glass while Sophia lived with her, then states that it is to go Sophia. She also left her Negro, Agg, to her daughter Betsy. He appeared in the census in 1820. Jacob not was found on any census as the head of the household in 1820 that I have been able to locate at this time.

Sophia married Reece Burk on 17 Feb 1829 in Athens, Georgia and eventually, around 1838, they moved to Franklin Co., Alabama. In the 1830 census, Jacob and his three sons were found in Blount Co.
