Jacob HAGLER
Frances ROBINS

Husband: Jacob HAGLER
Birth: 1761, Anson Co., NC, or 13 Mar 1768, Wilkes Co., NC (sources differ)
Death: 1828, Henry Co., TN
Father: John HAGLER
Mother: Elizabeth VAN HOOSER

I wonder if Jacob really died in Tennessee. His daughter was married in Illinois in 1819, and his wife is said to have died in Illinois in 1825. Or did he go back to Tennessee after the death of his wife?

Marriage: 7 Jul 1786, Wilkes Co., NC

Wife: Frances "Frankie" ROBINS
Birth: ca. 1767, Orange Co., VA
Death: Dec 1825, Madison Co., IL
Father: William ROBINS
Mother: Nancy Ann FOSTER

— born in Stewart Co., TN:
13. Elvira HAGLER, b. 6 Jan 1811

Daughters almost invariable lived with their parents until they married, so how did Elizabeth end up married in Illinois when her father lived and died in Tennessee? And how did Francis die in Illinois before Jacob died in Tennessee? Is the deathdate of Jacob wrong? Did Jacob and Frances divorce? It's very hard to buy that they moved to Tennessee, then to Illinois, then back to Tennessee. Did Elizabeth go to Illinois to live with her brother?

Elcana could not possibly have been married in 1819 in Benton Co.; Benton Co. did not exist until 1835.
