gives name as Jacob
father William Sterling mother Mary Blaisdell
Jacob married Hannah (Odell) Seeley in Fairfield, Connecticut in 1705-06. Hannah was the daughter of John and Johannah (Walker) Odell, of Greenlea, near Fairfield, and the widow of Nathaniel Seeley, Jr.
In 1697-98, Jacob moved with his father and his brother Daniel to Lyme Connecticut from Haverhill, Mass. Later he moved to Fairfield where he probably worked at his trade of ship carpenter.
There is evidence that Jacob bought and sold a great deal of land in and around the village of Fairfield. He also moved to Stratford which was apparently close by Fairfield. Fairfield and Stratford were settled in 1638.
On July 28, 1718, Jacob bought land in the bounds of Stratford on the west side of Ireland's brook. Ireland's Brook is a small stream running a southeasterly direction and emptying into the Pequonnock River, at that portion called Fresh Pond. It was on this ground that Jacob had his ship yard.
A year and half later Jacob bought "a certain piece of land lying in Stratfield, within the bounds of Stratford and in quantity about one half acre....with a dwelling house there." This is the house that Jacob occupied as his home. It was located on the north side of the road, known as the King's Highway, running through Stratford to Fairfield. The house was a short distance west of the ship yard and but a few steps from what in now Main Street.
A list of householders in Stratfield parish states that Jacob was a resident in 1717. Jacob's children were all born in Fairfield County.
He was appointed guardian of John, the son Samuel Odell, on December 5, 1727. This Samuel may have been the brother of Hannah.
Jacob attended the Congregational Church in Fairfield and may have continued to go there for some time after removing to Stratford, as he joined the Stratfield Congregational Church on July 28, 1731.
Jacob gave deeds of land to his sons, John, Joseph, and Stephen at several different times.
Jacob Sterling died on January 9, 1765. His wife Hannah died on June 14, 1756. They are buried in the Old Stratfield Burying Ground, in the present city of Bridgeport. The inscription on Jacob's sone reads: "Here lyes buried the body of Mr. Jacob Starling, who departed this life January 9, 1765, in ye 88th year of his age." Hannah's tombstone inscription reads: "Here lyes ye body of Mrs. Hannah Starling, sife of Mr. Jacob Starling, who departed this life, June ye 14th 1756 in ye 77th years of her age."
