I've pulled the information from two obituaries that were posted in the Nashville newspaper in March 1938. Robert Jakes Sr. was my double 1st cousin 3 times removed. He died one month and one day after his wife. I've added some notes(shown in parenthesis below) using information known to me from my research of our families over the years. I've also included a chart I made showing the intermarriages which it's essential to know when working with DNA matches from that side of my family. These are all from my Paternal Grandmother's Dad's lines but there are Jakes who marry into the Frizzell family(other than my two lines of Frizzells) which are from my Paternal Grandmother's Mom's lines.

There are additional Jakes/Harger and Morrow/Sutton siblings which I have not included here so that I could focus on these couples. |
