"Jacob Ailshite is listed as not tithable
or less than 21 in the year 1783 tax lists
Shenandoah County Personal Property.
In 1784 he is tithable and over 21.
He also appears in the 1785 and 1788 tax
lists as tithable but not found after 1788.
To satisfy these observations, he must
have been born 1762 or 1763.
According to Minute Book of the Shenandoah
County Court for 1794, two orphans of
Jacob Ailshite, deceased, were bound out
in 1794 by the overseers of the poor for
the county.
So, Jacob died between 1788 and 1794, not
actually in the Revolutionary War, but not
long afterwards."

he may have been buried in the Judy family
