I am looking for information on the family of Jacob Kurtz born ~1787 in VA and died Feb 22, 1868 in Warren Co. IN. His children William (1824), Joseph (1827), Nancy (1831) and Martha (1833) were all born in VA. His son William moved to IL and was married to Irena Strader on Dec 25, 1846 in Coles Co., IL. The 1850 IL, Cole Co., Greasy Creek Twp Census has:
Wm Curtis 26 Ohio
Arrena 22 IN
George W. 1/12 IL

The rest of Jacob's family moved to Washington Twp, Logan Co., Ohio. The 1850 Census has:
1)Jacob Kerts 62 farmer Oh
Nancy Kerts 40 VA
Martha Kerts 17 VA
2) Joseph Kerts 23 VA
Sarah Kerts 21 OH
William Kerts 2 OH
3) William Lowery 25 OH
Nancy Lowery 19 VA
John Lowery 1 OH

On the 1860 Census I found
1)IN Warren Co, Prairie Twp
Jacob Kurts 73 farmer VA
Nancy 49 VA
2) IL Douglas Co., Newman Twp
William Curts 36 farmer VA
Irene 31 IL
James 6 IL
Thomas 4 IL
Amanda 2 IN
Henry Strader 16 OH (think this is Irene's brother)
3) IN Warren Co., Liberty Twp
Joseph Curtz 33 farmer VA
Sarah 30 OH
William J 11 OH
George W 8 OH
Mary J 6 IL
Josephine 3 IN
Albert W 2 IN
4) IL Clark Co, Auburn Twp
William Lowry 35 farmer OH
Nancy 30 VA
John 10 OH
Stephen H 7 OH
Elizabeth A 4 OH
Sarah Jane 2 OH

Nancy Kirts (wife of Jacob) died Jan 31, 1864 in Warren Co, IN. Jacob died Feb 22, 1868 in Warren Co IN. Jacob's will gave his heirs as William's heirs, Joseph and Nancy Lowry.

Any help of the families and Jacob's parents would be appreciated.
