My great, great,greatgrandfather was Jacob Samuel Ikner born 1819. His father's name was also Jacob Samuel Ikner. I saw a message awhile ago about a Jacob that signed for a slave for a man. My grandfather moved to Monroe, Al in 1820 with his father and brother John s, born in 1816. I could never find out what happen to Jacob's brother or his father. There is a 1850, and 1860 census. If you would like to correspond with me my e-mail is
