1.JOHN JACOB RICHARDS
John Jacob Richards was born John Jacob Reichart about 1715 in Germany. He is probably the Jacob Richards who came to Philadelphia , Pa on the ship "Patience" from Rotterdam, Holland,on September 19,1749 by way of Cowes, England and settled in Pendleton County,VA. He was listed as Richart on the ship passenger list. Jacob Richards was listed in an appraisement in Augusta County, VA, Volume 3,Page 40, December 5,1754. Jacob and John Richards are listed in Volume 1,Page 87,Nov 19,1760 on a list of tithable of Harrison County VA. Jacob was granted 400 acres by the Commissioners of Unpatented Lands to include his settlement of 1771. Jacob and his relatives built Fort Richards on the west bank of the West Fork River near the mouth of Sycamore Creek in present day Union District of Harrison County, WV. Many pioneer families of the West Fork Valley found refuge from the barbarian warfare in this fort. The site of Richards' fort is marked by a spring which was inside of the palisade the spring is now called Fort Spring. A Monument was erected in 1932 by the County of Harrison to designate the Location of fort. Lands granted to Jacob and his relatives include: Arnold-300 acres-1773, Paul-400 acres-1773, Isaac-400 acres-Elk Creek, Jacob-400 acres-Sycamore Creek-1771, Henry-400 acres-Cheat River-1776, William-400 acres-Lost Creek, and Conrad Richards-in Lost Creek-1774. These were the builders and defenders of this Richards fort. Jacob's spouse is unknown. He is reported to have married an Indian, but this in doubtful, since Indians or part Indians were not allowed to own land in the 1700 and early 1800's.
