  • Other Descendants of 'Jacob Jagely Bar (b. 1683)' One of the most well-documented Bar historical events is that Jacob Jagely Bar and two of his sons, Jacob, Jr and John, moved from Pennsylvania to Rockingham County, VA sometime before 1740. In fact, Jacob Jagley died there, and I believe his two sons did also. Abraham Bar (1720-1783) was another of Jacob Jagley's sons but he did not go to Virginia, nor are his other brothers or sisters mentioned. Jacob Jagely Bar and his two sons "Whiskey" Jacob Bare, Jr and John "The Barron" Bare were very well-known settlers of the 'Shenandoah River Valley' and have a rich history there. The two sons married two sisters, daughters of pioneer Adam Miller (Mueller) known as the "first white settler" of that area of Virginia. They have many Bare/Bear/Baer descendants in Virginia and beyond...
