Notes for Jane Viol
One of the two daughters and co-heirs of the Reverend Strangford Viol of Willesborough.
Notes for Edward (Spouse 1)
Of the city of Canterbury. A surgeon in Canterbury, and mayor of Canterbury in 1727-1728.
One son, another Edward Jacob, was a surgeon also, and mayor of Faversham a number of times. He was apparently an eminent naturalist and antiquary.757
From the monumental inscriptions of Tilmanstone Church, it seems that he married twice. (Confirmed by the obituary of Edward Jeremiah Curteis in the Gentleman’s Magazine).757 Edward was a son of his first marriage, while his second wife was Mary, who died in 1727, aged 33. The Mary who married Stephen Barrett was the daughter of the second wife.

In 2009, I discovered that there is actually quite a lot known about Edward Jacob, and there is an excellent web site about him and his relations (http://www.myjacobfamily.com/favershamjacobs/edwardjacob2.htm). This is well sourced and researched, and agrees in every particular with other information I have been able to collect.
What follows is a (partial) quote from this web page:
--------------------------------
Edward was the second son of Amos Jacob of Ashford, in Kent, by his second wife Mrs Mary Harris (nee Clarke). He was baptized at Ashford on 9th April 1680. He was a scholar of King's School Canterbury some time between 1694-1696, and possibly before and after these dates, as some of the school's records are missing.
He practised as a surgeon in Deal in 1704, having been apprentice to Samuel Harris, surgeon, of Deal, before moving to Canterbury. On 19th August of that year he married Jane Viol, one of the two daughters and co-heirs of the Reverend Strangford Viol of Willesborough.
His first wife died possibly due to complications in childbirth and was buried at Tilmanstone on 19th March 1719. He married as his second wife Mary, the daughter of John Chalker of New Romney, at St Alphage, Canterbury, on 24th March 1719.
Edward's second wife Mary was buried at Tilmanstone 14th October 1726. An alternative date for her burial is given as 10th October 1727.
Described as an Apothecary, Edward became a freeman of the City of Canterbury by redemption in 1706. He had brought to the Registrar at Canterbury a note from a local Deal surgeon, testifying to his apprenticeship to a Mr Samuel Harris of Deal for the full term of seven years. In the writer's opinion he was fit to be licensed for the practise of Chyrurgery. He was elected Mayor of Canterbury in 1727 and was an alderman and chamberlain of the city for many years. A Freemason (as were many Jacobs past and present), he was master of his lodge in 1736-7.
His will was proved at Canterbury on 17th February 1756.
