  • Notes 
    • Jacob was born 1644 in England and appears in the will of his father, Anthony Lumpkin of Tumby-Woodside, Lincolnshire, England.
      In 1677 Jacob was a Captain in Virginia and in 1678 he was in the service for 5 months. In 1690 in court held on Sept 29, in New Kent, charges of Jacobitism in Virgina were brought against Jacob Lumpkin. Capt. Lumpkin still retained old loyalty to the Stuarts. (Virginia Magazine, VI; 389-396).
      He resided in King and Queen County, Virginia, settling there in 1682. "Newington" on the Mattaponi River was the original home of the Lumpkin Family. It contained about 1000 acres.
      In 1704 the Virginia Quit-Rent Rolls of King and Queen County contained the name of Jacob Lumpkin, and credited him with 950 acres at that time. Also listed was Robert Lumpkin, who owned 400 acres and was probably Jacob's son. Robert was born about 1672, old enough to be a substantial landowner in 1704. Robert wasn't born in 1688 as some have claimed.
      Jacob died 14, Sept 1708 at "Newington", King and Queen County, Virginia. Lower St. Stephen Church, now Mattaponi Baptist Church. Near the north door of the "Mattapony Church" lies a marble slab inscribed:
      The tomb of Jacob Lumpkin, with a marble slab inscribed in Latin, lies near the Mattaponi Church, King & Queen County, Virginia. The epitaph reads:
      JACOB LUMPKIN
      Obit 14 die September 1708, Aetatis 64
      Dux Militum, Victor Hostium
      Morte Victus. Pax adsit, vives requias
      Eterna Sepultis.
      Translated this reads: "A leader of soldiers; Conqueror of the enemy; Conquered by death. May peace be with him; you shall live. eternal rest for the buried."
