Research Notes
Establishing the parents of Joseph - In the 1841 & 1851 English Census there is a Provis/Provise is living in the family home. In the 1851 Census Grace is identified as the Mother-in-law of the head of the household, Joseph Jacka, therefore, making her the grandmother of Joseph. By implication, Grace is Joseph’s maternal grandmother and therefore the mother of Mary Jacka, the wife of the head of the household, which means that her first name at birth would be Provis
Will of Joseph Jacka written 5 July 1875 with Codacil probated 22 November 1875, Taylor county, Iowa; [10]
