First Wife of George Jacobs

Not much is known about the first wife of George Jacobs, Sr. (c.1620 – 1692), except that she was the mother of his three children, and she died before he remarried in 1673. Since the average age of a Puritan woman having her first child was about 22, and her son George Jacobs, Jr. was born about 1649, we can estimate that she was born circa 1627.

Following her death, George Jacobs, Sr. married a woman named Mary.
