Biography

John W. Jacobs was born in July of 1823 in New York. He was the son of Thomas Jacobs and Elizabeth Jenks. He married Ann Eliza Whitmore (or Wetmore) on January 8, 1851, in Candor, Tioga, New York. He appears to have married Polly Whitmore between 1855-1860 and she appears to have been the younger sister of Ann Eliza. Polly died in 1908 and John died on July 16, 1909. Both Polly and their daughter, Laura Dell (Jacobs) Swansbrough were buried in Maple Grove Cemetery in Candor. It seems highly probable that John and Ann Eliza were buried there too.
