Rosewood is in Virginia Beach, not Chesapeake. Buddy Added by Buddy on Nov 25, 2009 8:12 AM Buddy Rosewood Memorial Park Cemetery Charles, I have talked with one of the Funeral Directors at the Graham Funeral Home in Chesapeake, VA (757-382-7747), and he said there is no Rosewood Memorial Park in Virginia Beach. It is in Chesapeake. Thought you should know. Buddy Added by Buddy on Nov 25, 2009 8:09 AM Kristina Rees RE: Abel Spence First, I wish I lived closer because I would love to help clean up the cemetery where John Jacobs is buried. And maybe now that he is officially accepted in the United Dau. of the Conferacy a local chapter might like to help. I'm new to the organization so I'm not sure how that works. Second, thank you for the info on Abel. I've been in contact with Laura Parker from Newland Methodist church and she is trying to help me varify those birth and death dates you gave. You are pretty farmiliar with the cemeteries in the area. You haven't come across his have you?

I still posted it, though I will go back when cloudy to try again. Steve Added by JS_Dow on Nov 11, 2009 5:42 PM Kristina Rees RE: Abel Spence Thanks, did you get what you wanted for John Jacobs? Added by Kristina Rees on Nov 11, 2009 3:04 PM Kristina Rees Abel Spence Charles, I am working on another Confederate ancestor of mine from South Mills. The details I have are scetchy at best. His name is Abel Spence (b. 1810 d. 1884) and this is a summary of what I have. Do you have any more information that might help me? Jordan's NC State Troops 1861-65 gives this information: SPENCE, ABEL Private Born in Pasquotank County where he resided as a farmer prior to enlisting in Pasquotank County at age 50, July 24, 1861 for the war. Captured at Roanoke Island on February 8, 1862 and paroled at Elizabeth City on February 21, 1862. Exchanged in August 1862. Roll of Honor indicates that he was discharged, however, date and reason not reported. Enlisted on July 1861 at Pasquotank County,NC as a Private. He was a 50 year old Farmer. On July 24,1861 he mustered into "A" Co. NC 8th Infantry. He was discharged. (Date not stated) He was listed as: * POW 2/8/62 Roanoke Island,NC * Paroled 2/21/62 Elizabeth City,NC * Exchanged 8/15/62 (place not stated) (Estimated day) Added by Kristina Rees on Nov 09, 2009 9:36 PM Frank Fremont Jr. Lewis Etheridge Did I send a picture of the Confederate Marker at the foot of the grave? If not I have one and I will. Added by Frank Fremont Jr. on Nov 03, 2009 6:07 PM The Ancestor Hunter John Jacob's info Charles, I sent this to Kristina for John's memorial. I saw you had asked for info on him. John Jacobs was born in Prussia and settled in S. Mills, Camden Co, NC. One other Jacob from Prussia also lived in S. Mills. He was Daniel Jacobs, (b. 1833), and he worked as a farmer. Daniel had a son George H. Jacobs, (b. Aug 1853 NC). George also was a merchant. Both families were undoubtedly related, probably brothers. After the Civil War John Jacobs ran a dry goods store in South Mills. His wife was Henrietta (b. Feb 1836 NC). They married before the war. The couple had several children: 1. George. born about 1853 2. Clara, born about 1868 3. Bettie L., born abt 1872 4. Carl, born Sept 1876 5. Pauline, born abt Mar 1880 6. Lena, born Jan 1881 After John died Henrietta stayed in S. Mills until she died, (aft 1910). She lived with Carl and his family. Carl worked for years as a drugstore salesman.
