Jacob Anthony was born about 1828 in Pennsylvania.
He was in the infantry during the US Civil War.
He was a coal miner in Illinois.
He married Barbara Ann Flick of Pennsylvania and according to the 1900 Census in Illinois she had eleven children, but only six living.

The children that I'm aware of by name are:

-Adeline/ Peggy b. abt 1850 Pennsylvania. She married William B. Hunt on 11 Aug 1887 in Pekin, Tazewell, Illinois. They had atleast one daughter. Adeline died in 1913 Illinois.

-Caroline b. 15 Apr 1852 Somerset County, Pennsylvania...she married Andrew Jackson Larimore on 25 Dec 1878 in Cinncinnati, Tazewell, Illinois. They had six children. She died 10 Jul 1918 Delavan, Tazewell, Illinois.

-Martha Jane b. abt 1854

-Alverna b.abt 1856 Illinois...She married Charles Collander on 12 Feb 1880 Tazewell County, Illinois. They had atleast three children.

-David Oscar b.15 Oct 1857 Peoria County, Illinois...he married Lizzie Butler on 31 Mar 1881 in Cincinnati, Tazewell, Illinois. They had two boys. He died 09 Apr 1939 Tazewell County.

-Susanna b.12 Mar 1866 Pekin? (according to family records), Tazewell, Illinois. She married Johann Daniel Bauer on 3 Dec 1884 in Peoria (they were both living in Hollis), Peoria, Illinois. They had ten children. She died 3 Feb 1943 in Yakima, Yakima, Washington.

-Cordry/ Orlando b. Sep 1868 Illinois.
I'm not real sure if these names are the same fellow or brothers. Orlando comes from a census record and no Cordry.
Cordry is shown in other census records and he committed suicide on 23 Sep 1906 in Groveland, Tazewell, Illinois.

-Nettie J. b.26 Dec 1870 Illinois. She married John Hanson and they had eight children. They were divorced in 1924. She was the only sibling mentioned as still alive in 1943 when her sister Susanna died.
