 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Jacob Walsh Jr. was born about 1780 in Baltimore.

According to the book Revolutionary Patriots of Baltimoretown 1775-1783  by Henry C. Peden Jr.,  Margaret Yates daughter of Colonel Thomas Yates and Mary Myers  married Jacob Walsh.  And then The Baltimore Federal Gazette reported on Saturday, June 26, 1802 that "Jacob Walsh Jr. married at Springfield on Thursday evening by Rev. Mr. Bend. Jacob Walsh Jr., merchant to Margaret Yates daughter of Thomas Yates, Esq. All of this city."

I have a note that was from a Baltimore church record but I failed to state which one, that one Jan. 2, 1810 Jacob and Mary Walsh had 2 children baptized:
Elizabeth Ann  a note on Ancestry.com stated that she wed Archibald Stirling
Thomas Yates - a biography held in the Baltimore Historical Society states he was born 1809 - died 1865.

It is firmly believed that Margaret Yates and Jacob Walsh also had a son William H. Walsh, born in 1821. Williams's first son was named Thomas Yates.

The biography of  T. Yeates Walsh, attorney at law names Wm. H. Walsh as a younger brother and His father was named Jacob Walsh "one time opulent merchant. but suffered business reverses. He participated in the Battle at North Point in the War of 1812. Jacob Walsh was a Second Lt. of the United Maryland Artillery. He was reared Protestant Episcopal."

There may have been other children but they are unknown at this time.

Jacob Walsh Jr. died July 7, 1843.
