I can't reply on the board, so maybe someone can forward this.
in 1900 Jacob and his brother Charles, who is a year older, are living
with a Elizabeth Grace, who is listed as being 49, born in 1850 and
their grandmother.
Since the brothers are 22 and 21, it makes little sense, age wise, for
her to be a grandmother to them.
There is a marriage for a Sarah Grace and Nereus Gardner in 1876 in
Whitley.
Such a marriage is well timed to produce Charles and Jacob in 1878 and
1879.
In 1880 there is a Nereus Gardner, who is 23 but listed as single. Born
Indiana, parents born North Carolina. No clue where Jacob and Charles
are in 1880.
