When Jacob's . father Daniel died on Oct 1866, these two merchants attempted to sue him for his share of Daniel's estate. See Floyd Co . Chancery Order Bk 2, p 15-16, 1866, which states that Jacob was living out of state. . 1860 Carroll Co census, p 924, #983/989, Nancy,21 Va, Preston,5 Va, living with (?Ambrose) Phillips. . 1870 Carroll Co census, Pine Creek, p 469, #252/259, Nancy Nester,31 Va, keeping house, Preston,14 Va, Sarah,11 Va, Jas,4 Va, .

Moved to Mercer Co, WVa. . issue (of Nancy, but not of Jacob): . 2. Sarah Victoria Nester (Victoria), b 1862 Carroll Co, m 10 Apr 1880 Floyd Co to her mother's 2nd cousin Wesley Quesen- . berry, b Aug 1855 Floyd Co, s/o Lewis C.

This is apparently James Garland Phillips (Garland), and the source of the listing of . Garland Nester as a s/o Nancy Phillips Nester, by the author in Ref's 1 and 2 below. The author in his 2nd book, below, listed . James Garland Phillips as a s/o James Phillips (#421412) and Nancy Cox (Nannie), confusing this Nancy with the one who m . Jacob Nester. The only James in the area in 1870 and 1880 was the s/o Nancy Phillips Nester: . 1880 Floyd Co census, Indian Valley, p 300A, #127/129, James G.
