Jacob Wyant

Jacob Wyant was the father of Joshua Wyant, the grandfather of Isaac S. Wyant, the great grandfather of Charles B. Wyant and the great great grandfather of Bessie Ethel Wyant Wellons, my grandmother.

Documentation is very slim for Jacob Wyant.

He was born in about 1760 in Frederick County, Maryland.

He died on February 20, 1821 in Warsaw, Kentucky in Gallatin County. Warsaw is across the Ohio River from Indiana.

He married Polly Sarah White. The date and place of marriage are unknown.

Their son, Joshua Wyant, was born about 1804.

The 1810 census has the family in Gallatin Township of Gallatin County, Kentucky.

The 1820 census has the family in New Liberty Township of Gallatin County, Kentucky.

Jacob Wyant died on February 20, 1821 in Warsaw in Gallatin County, Kentucky.

There is a note on the Findagrave.com web site that says there is an unmarked grave for a Jacob Wyant in the Wyant Cemetery near Noblesville. The cemetery is on the property of Valley Forge Farms owned by Sam Harrell. It is more likely that this grave is for an ancestor of this Jacob Wyant since Polly Sarah White Wyant survived Jacob and she died in Warsaw, Kentucky.
