Wife of Jacob and other tibits
Some sources note that a Jennie Wright was the wife of Jacob Cloer; mar. in VA, 1804: Virginia Marriages, 1740-1850, ancestry.com: JACOB CLORE JENNIE RIGHT 13 Sep 1804 Madison 
By 1804, Jacob and Lucretia already had 5 children. 
Sandra Cloer Coffey in one of her newsletters noted that Jacob may have been born in VA abt 1770. Evidence shows the following: 
Jacob's first child Margaret was born in NC @ 1790. 
In 1794, Jacob purchased for 25 pounds 148 acres from Peter Serret (Strutt), Lincoln, Co., NC. 
In 1803, Jacob sold the above 148 acres to Joseph Graham for $100. 
Daughter Margaret was married in 1811 in Overton Co., TN and dau. Sarah in 1815. 
In 1819, Jacob's son George W. Cloer purchased 158 acres in Lauderdale Co., AL and transferred this land the day after it was recorded to Jacob. (Note: George W. was born in 1796--he was 23 years old at time of purchase.) 
Between 1790 and 1810, seven children were born. Where did Jacob live in NC? from 1803-1810. Did he buy more land? 
Since some of the children were b. in TN, obviously they lived in that state a few years. Did Jacob move to Lauderdale Co., AL with his family since Elijah was married to Elizabeth Weathers there in 1827? 
Where did Jacob live prior to purchasing land in Missouri? In 1831, July 11, Jacob purchased 160 acres for $1.00 in Lafayette Co., MO from Young Ewing and wife Elizabeth. (Supposedly Ewing bought the land for Cloer without knowledge of the quality of the land.) 
In 1833, 6 May and 16 July, Jacob Cloer and wife Lucretia of Carroll Co., MO sold to William Mears (Meirs?) 160 acres for $50.00 If Jacob was born in 1770, he would have been 63 years old in 1833. And Lucretia was still living. (info. from Betty Allen, Genelle Roberson and Evelyn Cloer Starr, and Rebecca Siple.)
