Jacob son of Richard was born Columbia County, and followed farming all his life, after his marriage settling on the farm in Madison township now (1887 ?) owned by his son Cyrus. He was a prosperous man and prominent in all the activities of his locality, serving as justice of the peace, county commissioner (before the counties were divided) and supervisor of the poor. For nearly sixty years he was a member of the Baptist Church, and held the offices of deacon and elder. Catherine: SOURCE: History of Columbia and Montour County Penn. page 740.
