Notes:	Jacob J. Norris Feaster is mentioned as an uncle in Maria Louisa "Lula" Georgiana Feaster's photo album. There are pictures of his daughter Julia (by first wife Amelia Boozer) and of Julia's step-sister Mary Boozer who was daughter of Amelia from a previous marriage. Jacob J. N. Feaster moved at various times from Fairfield to Greenville, Columbia, and eventually Florida. Some of his ventures are described in the Papers of the Coleman, Feaster, and Faucette Families, 1787-1943. South Caroliniana Library - University South Caroliniana Society (extracts on website: http://www.sc.edu/library/socar/uscs/1998/colema98.html): "A letter, 27 May 1855, from Andrew Feaster's son Jacob indicates that he was establishing himself in Greenville where he was working in a store with 'the Messrs Williams [who] seem much pleased with me as a partner.' He reported that the price for provisions was high and that his vegetable garden was prospering - 'I do not think I ever saw a more promising garden for the season.'" By 1859 Jacob N. Feaster lived on Washington St. between Richardson and Sumter in Columbia, SC and had a grocery business with his brother Trezevant D. Feaster at 194 Richardson St. He continued in the provisioning business during the early days of the Civil War. Per a message to Rootsweb.com List SC-Genealogy-L of 28 Sep 2001 by Glenna Kinard <gkinard@sc.rr.com>: '(Jacob J. Norris) Feaster is mentioned in a book by Elizabeth Boatwright Coker published in 1959 - - "La Belle". It is the story of Marie Boozer, a notorious woman of the mid to late 1800's..... (1) Marie was the dau. of Amelia Sees Harned Burton Boozer Feaster. Amelia came to SC from Philadelphia, was married twice, the 2nd husband (Peter Burton_ probably being the father of Marie (who was born ca 1846). (2) Amelia married (third) David Boozer of Newberry who adopted Marie. It is hinted that Amelia murdered Boozer." (3) Amelia and young Marie moved to Columbia where she met Jacob Feaster of Fairfield County..... ' Ref: archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ SCROOTS/2001-09/1001716952 Jacob N. Feaster moved to Florida with several of his adult siblings and their families, first appearing in the Sand Point, Volusia Co., Florida census of 1870 in HN293/FN251 with two of the three children from his marriage to Amelia Boozer. By 1885, Jacob J. N. Feaster was in LaGrange Twp., Brevard Co., Florida (dwelling 10). His wife, Jeanette (nee Twichell, per rootsweb.com database "Jessica's Family History") was living with him, as well as her son (by first marriage) James Trellis, whose name appeared as James Feaster in later censuses. JJN Feaster's daughter, Etheland, by his marriage to Amelia Boozer, was in dwelling 19, with her husband B.B. Wilson, other children, and youngest daughter named Amelia, like Etheland's mother. JJN Feaster's sister, Julia (Feaster) Coleman, age 50, was in dwelling 11. Her home was the cultural center of the community.
