MARRIAGE EVENT:
1. WV Monongalia County, Morgantown, Register of Marriages, Page 82, 12Oct1843: "Strawther Jacobs m. Lettia Ferrell."
2. E C Brown, A Brief History of Triune Community, 1927, West Virginia Division of Culture and History, http://www.wvculture.org/history/agrext/triune.html.
"Strother Jacobs married Letha Tarleton, a daughter of Elijah Tarleton. Their daughter, Evelyn Jacobs became the wife of Isaac Powell. A son, Columbus Jacobs, studied medicine and attained great skill as a surgeon. When he died in Frostburg, Maryland, a number of years ago, it is said he had undergone about sixty-two surgical operations, all of which he had himself directed. Letha's second husband, Richard Fast, was a member of the Virginia Legislature and was the father of Richard Ellsworth Fast, who served for a time as Colonel of the first regiment of the West Virginia state guards, and was also a member of the West Virginia University faculty for a number of years. He died several years ago in Pasadena, California."
[Note: the above info re Letha Tarleton is in conflict with the register of marriages which lists her as Letia Ferrell. See also the marriage record to Richard Fast which lists (only) her mother Hannah Ferrell. Also, the only Elijah Tarleton I am aware of was married 3x; the first on 24Jun1828 which is before the 1821 birth date of Letha. However, death certificate of daughter Evaline T Jacobs Powell lists her mother as Leetha Ferrell.]
