A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Jacob D. Fought
Faus family sources list him as Jacob Fought. The Fenstermacher/Reese/Forney/Watts Family Tree on Ancestry.com lists him as Jacob D Fought/Vogt. An obituary for granddaughter Bessie Eckman spells the name Focht. According to Debbie's Moser-Dutmer Family Tree on Ancestry.com, Fought is pronounced "Foft".
On Find A Grave (listing for Jacob D Fought), his birthplace is given as Germany, which disagrees with the Fenstermacher/Reese/Forney/Watts Family Tree. Find A Grave also gives a different birth date for him, 10 Apr 1811. I don't know which version is right. The 1850 census also gives his birth place as Germany, but then it is listed as Pennsylvania in later censuses.
A family tree on Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/83265388/person/102109239488/facts) lists his parents as Michael Fought and Elizabeth Schaeublin Shively, but I don't know if that is right (there are problems with some of the other information in the tree).
