  • Biography*: Jacob Moon grew up and married in New Kent County, VA. He was about 33 years old when he moved to Albemarle County, buying 400 acres in 1750 (Albemarle Deed Bk 1, p. 229). Jacob's land was in the "South Gardens" area, among the mountains on the branches of the Hardware River. This was some of the most fertile land in the county. In "The Autobiography of the Reverend Devereaux Jarratt," which appeared in the "William and Mary Quarterly," in July, 1952, Jacob is mentioned as being a native of New Kent County. Jarratt was a teacher who boarded with Jacob Moon for a while, and he described the Albemarle of that time as being "nearly a frontier, the manners of the people were generally more rough and uncivilized than in the more interior parts of the country." Mr. Jarratt wanted to convert all he came in contact with to his religion: "Remembering how blind, careless and insensible Moon and the rest of his family were, respecting religion, when I lived there before and seeing no alteration for the better I was concerned for their souls, and did what I could to make them sensible of the danger they were in -- But they made light of it -- turned it all off with a laugh. Moon and his wife being church (of England) people, as they said, could listen to nothing but what came through that channel. But in truth, they knew no more of the principles of the Church of England, than any other -- and this case is not peculiar to them, but is very common in the world." Jacob moved to Bedford County, VA, in 1775, or soon thereafter. In November 1775 he purchased 400 acres near Oak Mountain, on the head of Lick Run and the branches of Elk Creek (Bedford Co. Deed Bk 5, p.361). In 1784 he sold his land in Albemarle County to George Diers (Albemarle Co. Deed Bk 9, p.53). Jacob was too old to serve in the Revolutionary War, but did furnish a horse and some beef to the army, qualifying him as a Patriot ("Public Service Claims, 1782," in the VA State Library). Jacob was about 69 when he migrated to Wilkes County, GA, in 1786. Several of his family moved at the same time, including his son William and his daughter Sally Gilbert. He died intestate in Greene County, GA, in 1793, and was probably living with his daughter, Sally, at the time, as he owned no real estate.

    Bedford County Marriage Records have the marriage year as 1778, but that cannot be correct unless Jacob's assumed birth year is incorrect and he was born in 1762 at the earliest since his parents married 26 Sep 1761. Their youngest known children were born in the 1790's. - Source: Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Virginia, 1755 - 1800 and Bedford County, Virginia: Index of Wills, 1754 - 1830.
