  About Jacob's middle initial of "S"

I have found a family tree of a direct descendant of Jacob's that says the middle initial for Jacob, stands for the name "Scudder". He gives no source for this information.  There are absolutely no public historical documents available for view that show that Jacob's middle name was Scudder.  For all anyone knows, it could very well be Slagle, not Scudder. Unfortunately, everyone is copying this person's information perpetuating information that could be wrong.
 
1850 - Census - Jacob living with family.  Older brothers Elem and Daniel living nearby.

Jacob S Hart and Mary Ann Nestor
 
1864 - Marries widow Mary Ann (Marion) Nestor Phillips, Jul 17, 1864, Barbour Co., WV

Marriage Records for Jacob S Hart and Marion Phillips.  According to record, Marion is also a widow.

  One thing about Mary Ann that is nagging at me, is whether her maiden name was actually Phillips instead of Nestor, the same last name as her husband. This has happened before in my family tree.  There are numerous family trees for Mary Ann, that show her parents with the last name Phillips.  However, there are no documents that back this up.  The death certificates for both Alonzo and Helen give Mary Ann's maiden name as Phillips.  Which may be just a case of no one really knowing what it actually was.  I found the last name of Nestor from the "Hart of Randolph" book page 289.  The first name of her parents, Joseph and Catherine, from the marriage record.
 
  1870 - Census - Both Jacob's and Mary Ann's children living together.  Helen and Alba are Mary Ann's children.  Gilbert is Jacob's.  Alonzo P Hart is the child of both Jacob and Mary Ann

1902 - Jacob S Hart passes away, April 3, 1902, Kerens, Randolph Co., WV

Death Record for Jacob S Hart.

Note: The WV death index record for Jacob S Hart has the death year of 1903 not 1902.  If you look at some of the children who died in days or a few months on this page, you will notice that their date of birth was 1902. The year 1903 on this document, should actually be 1902

Because of the conflicting 1902 and 1903 death dates.  There are many researchers who have 1902 and the rest have 1903.  In July 2022, I was contacted by a fellow researcher, Jonathan Moore. Mr Moore found two newspaper articles that solidify the death year for Jacob as 1902, NOT 1903.
