. JACOBS ORIGINAL STONE READS DIED MAY 6, 1787 AT AGE 55 YRS. 4 MO. 6 DAYS. ( LISTED AS BORN MARCH 30, 1732) HUSBAND OF ELEANOR MECHLIN
ELEANOR WAS BORN DEC. 17. 1737 DIED DEC. 6, 1832

Family trees have him born on 30 Mar 1732, but the original stone lists him as being 55 y 4 m 6 d at his death on 06 May 1787, which puts his birthday at 30 Dec 1731. I trust the family and stone cutter more than I trust many family trees and there is no other documentation for his birth.
