Jacob, son of John and Mary Magdalena, and many of his siblings settled early in what is now Fulton Co., Ohio.
Jacob had children by three wives:
Elisabetha,
Betsey Cripliver, and
Maria Christina Edelmann.
He and Elisabetha lived in Somerset Co., Penn. in the town of Milford and later, in Jenner Township.
He married Betsey Cripliver Oct. 20, 1830 in Wayne Co., Ohio.
After Betsey died, he married [Mrs.] "Polly Allen" (Maria C. Edelmann) Nov. 26, 1839 in Wood Co., Ohio. They lived near Delta, Ohio, on a tract purchased in 1833 from the U.S. Gov't. She brought two daughters from a prior marriage into the family.
The family moved in the early 1850's, first to Mower Co., then to Fillmore Co., Minn.
One version of Jacob's death is that he went searching for a daughter thought kidnapped by Indians and never returned, that he died somewhere in Ohio. Another version is that he went to Ohio on a visit, and while there, was crushed by a barrel of syrup and was buried there.
