Hi, All,
1st, Brad I would love to talk to you and excnage information. on your lineage.I just learned of this new family of Jacobs.
2nd James Thank you so much for finding this for me.
Okay here is the evidence that I have been able to gather and I would like to Thank Joyce Collins (not related to Delphs) for finding it for us.
I also have a few marriages also for the children of Jacob and Armeina if you don't have them, they are listed at the end of the census stuff.

This is the reason I believe it was our Jacob Delph who m. Arminera Unknown....We know there were at least two Jacob Delphs born around the same time in Virginia, this seems to seperate the two of them.The convincing evidence for me is the fact that Sarah is in the household with Jacob and mary in 1850 and then Sarah is in the househould with Arminera and Jacob in 1860.I do have to wonder what happened to George by 1860 that he isn’t with Jacob and Arminera, found him he is living with Daniel Jacob’s father in 1860.Again tying the fact that indeed Daniel was probably Jacob's father.

NOTE:It is difficult to tell if Brooks and Peggy are Jacob DELPHs from

last two children are "iffy".Could also be the children of either Brooks
