Jacob Henry Hoss is the son of John and Sarah Adams(Williams) Hoss.
John and Sarah were married 23 Aug 1803 in Carter Co.,TN. which seems to be the only confirmed date for John Hoss. John was an executor of his father's will [written 29 Feb 1816; filed at Jonesboro, TN court Apr 1817 session, Jacob Hoss b.Est 1734].
[I can post a copy of Jacob Hoss' will transcription if u want it]
John Hoss [b.abt 1780 - d.Aft Oct 1834] can be found in the 1830 Washington Co.,TN census.
[see http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/tn/washington/1830/part2.txt]http://www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/tn/washington/1830/part2.txt]
on pg.223 line 15. The US census before 1850 does not give the exact age of people, only a bracket. He is in the 40/50 age bracket for 1830 placing his birth between 1780/1790. I estimate he was born abt 1780 based on the the date he was married(1803), Sarah's age and birth date of Jacob Henry(1804), his first born child. Sarah A. Williams was born
10 May 1783 NC, d. 1 May 1859 TN. The last confirmed date I have for John is from the Washington Co. deed book 15 pg.111 where he sold land to Samuel Caruthers 24 Oct 1837;so he must have been living then.
The 7 children of John and Sarah Hoss are:
