"Elijah Horr's branch of the family came into Northern New York in the latter part of the last century, and settled in Denmark, Lewis county."
From: "The Growth of a Century", by JOHN A. HADDOCK, 1895.
If this is true then Jacob was the first child of Robert and Sarah's to leave Massachusetts. It is said that brothers Warren and Robert with Jacob moved there about the same time.
Jacob moved to Ohio before 1818.
