Biography

Jacob Tappan was born on 8 Dec 1818 in New York, and Christened on 31 Jan 1824 in Charlton, Saratoga County, New York.[1] He was the son of Charles Tappan (1792-1853) and Phebe (McNeil) Tappan (1793-1871).

He married Delight Post on 19 Mar 1845 in Lockport, Niagara County, New York. Their known children:

  1. Lucy Tappan (1846–1914)
  2. Edwin Capron Tappan (1848–1910)
  3. Charles Orange Tappan (1852-1914)
  4. Phoebe Tappan (1854–1890)

The 1860 Census[2] shows him at age 42 with his wife, four children, his mother and another in Wilson, Niagara County, New York.

The 1870 Census[3] shows him at age 52 with his wife and four children in Clinton County, Illinois.

He died in 1873 in Illinois, and is buried at the Matsler Cemetery in Huey, Clinton County, Illinois.[4]

Research Notes

Regarding his given name(s):
Find A Grave calls him "George Jacob Tappan" but the pictured grave marker seems to only have "Jacob Tappan," but it is difficult to read. The origin of the name George is not given. It is not seen on Family Search. [5]
