   1. Jacob Smith bought land on the South fork of the Roanoke at that time it was in the boundaries of Botetourt County and he was in Barnetts Company.
   2. Jacob Smith was part of the Tax Lists of Botetrout County all the way through the 1780s.
   3. 1792 he is now in the Montgomery County Borders.
   this can all be proven with Tax Lists. and its awesome.
   4. The Jacob Smith listed in those tax records had to have been born at least.
   1782-21=1761 to be in the 1782 tax list as being 21 or older.
   5. He doesnt have any tithable white males between 16-21 in 1789 which might prove that hes not Jacob Smiths father. I need to get a better understanding of who is to be listed in that section.
   6. 1798 he sells the land he had to Mr. Hall. using Hugh Crockett as attorney
   7. A Jacob Smith still owns land in 1801 on the south fork of Roanoke and is not an assignee of anyone. This Jacob Smith was born between 1770 and 1773 and he married in 1796 to Mary Shockey.
   8. Jacob Smith in the 1810 census of Montgomery County Virginia is the only Jacob Smith of Montgomery County Virginia. he has 5 sons. one of those sons was still present in 1825 Montgomery County Virginia to marry Rebecca Picklesimer possible daughter of John Picklesimer of the South Fork of Roanoke.
