Today in my database : Sibell Littell (b. May 5, 1769)

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 6th great-grandmother, Sibell Littell.

Sibell was born May 5, 1769 in Virginia, and died September 9, 1853 in Adams Co., OH. Sibell married William Jacobs in 1787 in Morgantown, VA (now WVA). William was born 1765 in Virginia and died 1841 in Brown Co., OH.

I descend from Sibell and William's son James Thomas Jacobs who married Isabella Feily. This is one of two Jacobs lines in my family, who are not connected as of yet. Much more research is needed.
