I am a descendent of Jacob Post.My grandfather was Thomas S. Post; my ggrandfather was Isaac Newton Post who was Jacob's son.Jacob came to Fayette County and lived in the New Salem area where he was a doctor.He married first Sally Ann Hibbs and when she died he married Phoebe Jane Gray who had Sally Ann born 7 March 1852 who married Thomas Barnes.She died 25 July 1907.Another son was William Franklin, born 22 November 1853 who married Carrie Anderson.Then my ggrandfather, Isaac Newton was born on 4 August 1855.He and his wife, Nancy Catherine Harmon had 2 sons, Nathaniel who never married and Thomas S. who was my grandfather.Phoebe Jane Gray (Post) died on 3 October 1857 and Jacob Post married Eliza Noland.Soon after that he and Eliza moved to Wenona, Illinois where he died on 16 August 1868.My uncle was researching this family about 25 years ago and visited a Miss Adda Barnes who had a family Bible which detailed all of the above. She lived in Uniontown, PA at the time and was quite elderly so I'm sure she has passed on and I have no idea whatever happened to that Bible.
I have been trying to find out where Jacob came from, without success so far.One census shows him being born in New Jersey and another shows Pennsylvania.If you have any further information, please contact me.Thanks,
