Pretty sure about family. Only know Jacob died in Missouri ~1887. Note in 1880 US Census, his birthdate, country of origin, and mother and father's country of origin are correct. In the census, a daughter shares Jacob's mother's name, a son shares Jacob's father's name, and another daughter is named after his sister, Jennifer.
