Jacob next married Unknown Dever [578] [MRIN: 217], daughter of Unknown Dever [319] and Unknown, in Virginia.
Marriage Notes: Jacob Gum was married in Virginia. We do not know the name of
his wife. We b elive she was a Dever, a sister of Owen. WE
cannot find a marriage record. A T that time, the marriage
records were kept by the churches. It was not until the states
becamse part of the United STates that laws were passed
requiring the state (countries) to keep the records. We do not
believe that Owen Deve r married a sister of Jacob Gum since
Owen's claim passed to other men of the Dever family and the
records of Madison County give the impression that he was
single. Owen died before 1789 in Madison County which had been
formed from Lincoln County.

11. Norton Gum [324] (Jacob3, John2, Roger1) was born in 1748 1 and died in 1789 at age 41.
General Notes: Norton Gum was the son of Jacob Gum and Sarah Claypoole who came
from Lewes, D elaware to settle on Linville Creek in Rockingham
Co. about 1745. Their near n eighbors were the ancestors of
Abraham Lincoln, and the Gums had numerous conn ections to the
Lincoln family for the next hundred years in Virginia, Kentucky
and Illinois. Jacob Gum was born about 1715 in Lewes and died at
Linville Cr eek in 1783. Sarah Claypoole is the key ancestor in
tracing the lineage to the Plantagenet Kings and earlier
historic figures. Sarah was the daughter of Jer emiah Claypoole
and Sarah Shepherd and was born in 1719 at Milford in Sussex C o.
Delaware. Sarah Claypoole Gum died in 1799. Sarah and Jacob had
9 known ch ildren with Norton being the fourth. One son,
Claypoole Gum, was killed during the Revolutionary War. The use
of the given name Norton came from Sarah's gra ndfather Norton
Claypoole. The name Norton is used by the Claypoole, Gum, and
Mackey families from 1620 into the 20th century.
Norton Gum was named for his great-grandfather, Norton Claypool.
The year of his birth is unknown, but wou ld have to have been in
the late 1740's or early 50's because he was 21 before 1773,
when he was appointed constable. We do not know the date of his
marri age, but we do know that his wife's name was Eleanor.
