- !NOTES:Marty Grant's 5th Great Grand Parent.;
!NOTES:Jacob Fouts is generally believed to be a son of John Leonard Fouts and Catherine Shearer. To date I've seen no solid proof of this. There is circumstantial evidence to support it though:
1. Jacob was born in Rowan, but moved to Wilkes and Ashe soon after birth. John Leonard also lived in those places at the same time.
2. Widow Catherine Fouts went from Ashe to Macon Co., NC when Jacob Fouts did in the 1830's. Suggests she is closely related. However, I've seen no proof that she is widow of John Leonard Fouts, or that her maiden name is Shearer.
More research is needed to determine who Jacob Fouts parents are for certain;
