Jacob Speck U2 was born on 5 Jul 1776 in York County, Pennsylvania.3 He was baptized on 18 Aug 1776 in Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, York Co., Pa.. He served in the military in 1812 in Capt. William Cross’ Company, in Barbee's Regiment of the Kentucky Militia.4,5 Enlistment was 23 Aug 1812 for six months service during the War of 1812. The company traveled through Newport to St. Mary's River, where they encamped for some 4 months. During the winter they suffered greatly from the severe weather, lack of adequate tents, and blankets. They were discharged on 23 March 1813. He was a farmer with 200 acres on Spring Creek in Cumberland Co., Kentucky. A Land Warrant was Filed on 15 Oct 1823.6 He was A member of the Clear Fork Missionary Baptist Church about 1830 in Albany, Kentucky.7 Jacob's wife, Nancy was mentioned in church minutes in 1805, therefore, they had likely been members of this church for many years. However, in the 1830s church records show that there was a disagreement regarding the missions program. Jacob, Nancy and Sally Speck apparently sided with the faction in disagreement and were excluded from the church. It is not known whether they later rejoined or attended another church of like faith. Two daughters, Anna & Agness, and a daughter-in-law, Polly, joined Wolf River at this time. He died about 1862 in Clinton County, Kentucky. He was buried in an unknown place.. Many of the Speck families fanned the fertile land adjacent to Wolf River and its tributaries, such as Spring Creek. In 1943 a dam was built for Dale Hollow Lake and the area was flooded. It is likely that a family cemetery was in this area covered with water. With the exception of a Speck infant, there are no others on the list of moved graves. Others may have had no marker or they were unreadable by this time. He was married to Nancy (?) about 1805 in Kentucky. Nancy Speck was mentioned in the minutes of Clear Fork Baptist Church in 1805, therefore we know they were married at this time and members of the church.
