Does anyone know the answer to this question? My ancestor, Jacob Yeager
was born in Pa. 1760-1770. In abt 1823 he moved with his eldest son to
Ontario Prov. Canada. The son married and had 9 children in Canada. In
the early 1850's the family and children moved to Kosciusko Co. Would
the children have needed to be naturalized in the U.S. court systems?

Hi, Jackie - I don't know the answer to your question - sorry about that
- but I am interested in your Jacob Yeager - I currently have possibly 3
Jacob Yagers I'm trying to research - this is not my direct line, but an
associated line which is really in a mess because people thought they
knew the answer and they didn't, and then they gave that information out
and it was copied as fact. However - that is not the point of this -
"my" Jacob Yeagers (Yager?) I've traced from Montgomery Co, Ohio to
Elkhart/Kosciusko Co through court and guardianship records - I have 3
possible dates and places of birth: 1835 in Va. or OH; 1816 in Va.;
1839 in ??? - I think the problem lies in the copying of the records by
individuals and not in the censuses and I'm not sure I'm dealing with 3
Jacobs or 1 Jacob or 2 Jacobs - I think probably 2, the father and the
son. The son, if he is that, settled in Scott twp, Kosciusko Co,
Indiana. I haven't tried to go back to Virginia on this. Might we
possibly be looking for the same Jacob, or can you tell from these
dates? Allied families who eventually married into this family also
went to Canada, then came to Elkhart/Kosc. Cos. I have records for
them, but it never dawned on me that there was a large migration. What
do your think?
Thanks for the Serine/Vandewater info - very helpful. I have a starting
point now, which I didn't have.
