Jacob Roadcap appears
on the 1820 census with 9 kids. His marriage to Madeline Nye is in the marriage book.
(Still don't know where the Magdelene Smith came from that I have - must have been
Aunt Cora - where did she get it. The two first names are close, had she been married
before?) Jacob seems to first show up in 1812 Chattels, with 3 horses and 2 cattle
(damn the wives and kids - lets talk important!) along with John and Samuel. In 1813,
the list is landowners, and I find only John and Samuel. In 1818 & 1819 Chattels,
Jacob Rothgep shows up again along with Henry, John and Sam. 5 horses, 7 cattle in
1819. In 1821 his name is Roadcap, in 1822, Rothgap (Henry also, John & Sam are
Roadcaps again). 1824 Chattels, Jacob & Henry Roadcape, J & S Rothgep. In1825,
they are all Roadgaps and John and Sam have houses, and there are no Nyes listed. In
the Will book, Jacob is listed as having a will in 1852- do you have it? There is also a
Jacob listed with an Estate in 1832.
