Deeds

There appears to be three different Jacob Souder's referenced below.  The first one bought property 2 July 1785.  On 17 Feb 1787 and 7 Aug 1787 he sold property. His wife's name was Ann.  He may have moved on after that.  Where he came from and where he moved to is unknown.

The second Jacob Souder is the one from Lancaster Co PA.  His wife's name was Elizabeth.  His brother, Benjamin also moved from Lancaster Co PA to Frederick Co MD about 1809.  See Deed and Will records for Lancaster Co PA, as well as Will records for Frederick Co MD for more information.  This family is shown on the Family Group Sheets as Jacob Souter, Lancaster Co, PA - Contributor Cherry Kinnunen.

At the bottom is a couple of incomplete documents dated 1831 in which Jacob Souder was owed money.  This was not the Jacob Souder right above, as that Jacob died in 1820.  This was Benjamin's son Jacob.
