There is an unmarked grave, record only of Jacob Creviston buried in Angelus Rosedale Cemetery (9783334). This is certainly not the burial location of Jacob (b.1869 or1870) despite the uncanny coincidence that Jacob's grandfather Joseph Bradshaw is buried in this cemetery. Since there is reference to this grave in an 1891 news article listing the veterans buried at this cemetery, and there is a known marriage record for Jacob William Creviston in 1892, this Los Angeles record is clearly someone older. There was a Jacob C. Creviston that served in Army during the Civil War era (as did Joseph Bradshaw) that lived in Los Angeles and died before 1891 that this record probably pertains to, so the Jacob Creviston buried there is not the son of William and Sarah Creviston.
Jacob William is listed as William Jacob in a Washington territorial census record shortly after his birth, but from that point on both the federal and territorial censuses list him as Jacob. This is a different person than his brother William Victor Creviston who was born nearly a decade later.
Family lore tells us that Jacob "disappeared" and was never heard from again. There is a record of him getting married to Catherine McDougal in Newport News, Virginia in 1892.
