We found a newspaper article that was reprinted in 1920 of an article that 
appeared in Vol. 1 November 1874 of  THE LOCAL NEWS Devoted to the general 
interests of Huntington County, Hugh Lindsay, Publisher.  In it are two mentions
of John Flasher(of Lime Kiln Hollow).  I suspect that this is our Jacob's father 
since John had a son named Jacob and since we found this article in our family papers.  
I will be researching it further.
