Biography

Origin Theories

It’s highly probable that this Jacob Troxell was the grandson of the Peter Troxell who died in Frederick, Maryland in 1766. Peter's will named eight children: Peter, Daniel, David, John, Christian, Frederick, Julianah, and Margaritha. [1] The list of Loudoun County tithables 1775-1781 includes Christian, Daniel, David, and Frederick. [2] A review of German church records for Maryland (and Virginia) available for that time period does not find a baptism record for Jacob which would positively identify his parents.

Whoever his parents were, Jacob Troxell was born about 1758 or 1759 in Frederick County, Maryland, based on his own testimony.[3]

Some say specifically 18 Jan 1758/9.[citation needed]

NSSAR Ancestor #: P-307312
Rank: PVT

At age 13 (about 1771), his family moved to Loudoun County, Virginia. He was drafted into the state militia in 1777, and volunteered in 1778, each time serving only a few months. In 1781 he was called back to service and joined General Washington in the march on York Town, Virginia.

Note: During this time frame, according to his own testimony, he was never in Kentucky or in Pennsylvania.

Either during or shortly after the war he married-- probably in Virginia about 1780-- the mother of most if not all of his children; her name is not known. His pension record does not mention his marriage; this is estimated based on the births of his known children.

After the war, according to his own testimony, he moved back to Maryland for a few years, then to Tennessee; his first appearance in Kentucky is 1801.[4] He was likely the Jacob Troxel in Wayne county in the 1810 census.[5]

He left Kentucky between 1817 and 1820. He married Elizabeth (some say Blevins[citation needed]) about 1823 and they lived in Marion County, Tennessee for several years.[6]

At some time they moved to DeKalb County, Alabama, where he died 1 July 1843, per his pension file.

His widow was alive as late as 1845 when she was still trying to obtain a widow's pension.

She may have been the Elizabeth Troxel, age 56, born North Carolina, is enumerated in the 1850 census as head of household in DeKalb County, Alabama with two females: Eliza, 17, b [1833] Tennessee, and Jane, 3, born [1847] Alabama.[7] Her age suggests she was a subsequent spouse of Jacob; she certainly could not have been the mother of most of his children who were born starting in the 1780s. She is likely the widow from Jacob's pension files, but it's not clear if she is mother of the two females enumerated with her in the 1850 census-- it's unlikely that she had a child at the age of 53. Eliza may have been a late-in-life daughter of Jacob by Elizabeth. Jane Troxel, born about 1847, could not have been daughter of Jacob since he died in 1843.

Research Notes

Disputed Relations

Jacob Troxel, Revolutionary War soldier and pensioner, has been associated with the following:

  • "Big Jake" - this man was introduced to the world in 1958 through the book Legion of the Lost Mine, in the introduction of which the author admits to making up names.[19] A later work in 1975 appears to be the first to associate "Big Jake" with George Jacob Troxel aka the Rev. War soldier.[20] Many others, including Dan Troxell, have repeated these myths.
  • husband of Pawalin aka Cornblossom, a supposed daughter of known Chief Doublehead[21] See her profile for explanation of her existence (or lack thereof).
  • a supposed massacre at Yahoo or Ywahoo Falls, Kentucky;[22] there is no historical documentation to support this event ever happened.[23]
  • father of “Little Jake” b. 1781; d. 1810 (others say 1 July 1843, citing "Chief Thomas H. Troxell"[24]) Supposedly married Saleechie "Standing Fern". There is no evidence of his existence or that of his supposed spouse.

Disambiguation

There are at least three Jacob Troxels (sometimes spelled Trachsel or even Draxel), all of whom served during the Revolutionary War, that have been conflated by 20th century individuals.

  1. Jacob Troxel (1758-1834), this profile, born Maryland, lived in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and finally Alabama where he died. He has a pension application that describes his service in Virginia (and by his own testimony was never in Pennsylvania).[25]
  2. Jacob Troxell born about 1745-1750; second class in the 6th company of the Philadelphia County militia.[26] However, the Philadelphia Jacob Troxel must be a different as the Jacob Troxel born 1658 in Maryland, but who also served in the Revolutionary war, per his own testimony, was never in Pennsylvania.
  3. Jacob Troxel or Truxall of Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania (DAR patriot number A116288).
  4. There may be a 4th Jacob Troxel aka Draxel who served out of Northumberland/Northampton, Pennsylvania.[27] Or this was #3 above? (needs checking)

Disputed Biography

Jacob Troxel of the 1832 pension application has been associated with the 1958 story of "Big Jake" who supposedly married a Native American woman; a later, 1975 work added the story of an undocumented massacre at Yahoo Falls, Kentucky.

"Big Jake" was assigned to pose as an Indian trader and dissway the Indians from joining with the Spanish in Florida. According to Dan Troxell, a descendent of Jacob's son William, Jacob "turned injun" and was severaly injured in the massacre at Yahoo Falls, Kentucky while standing guard over the 100 women and children that were hiding at the falls waiting to go to a Presbyterian Indian School for safety. He was hidden to avoid more attacks on the Indian population and taken to Alabama by his son." [28]
There is no contemporary evidence of a Massacre at Yahoo Falls.[29]

Some claim he was buried at Yahoo Falls, Kentucky. The following appears to come from Collins, cited above.

The Jacob Troxell grave [sic; monument] lies in a solitary spot not far from Yahoo Falls. A Revolutionary War standard issue monument marks the site. The marker has in recent years shown damage from vandals with the stone showing evidence of cracking, probably from physical contact with some type of heavy objects. According to the inscription, Jacob Troxell was a private of 6 Co. Philadelphia Co. Militia in the Revolutionary War. The stone has inscribed on it the Star of David. Historically, we are told Jacob Troxell came to live with the Indians in an attempt to solicit their aid for the cause of freedom for this budding new nation.
At the present time, this is the only Revolutionary War monument found in McCreary County. There are other old soldiers, who came to the county, but they lie in graves marked with field stones and unidentified. Even the Jacob Troxell monument may not be an exact location for his grave.

The Revolutionary War monument at Yahoo Falls (subsequently removed when National Parks service was informed of its inaccuracy) read:

Jacob Troxell Jan 18, 1758-Oct. 10, 1810.

Descendants continue to believe Jacob Troxell was "Big Jake" and was in Kentucky during the Rev. War:

However, for purposes of identity for the only Revolutionary War monument in McCreary County, we will for now show Jacob (Big Jake) Troxell at Yahoo, where Chief Thomas Troxell place his was monument. Just remember, this is not where he is buried, but is near the center of much of his patriotic endeavors for winning the war, and, therefore, should remain as an historic location to commemorate the endeavors of this old patriot. In this writer's opinion the Revolutionary War monument of Jacob Troxell now found at Yahoo should be moved to Otter Creek and an Historical Kentucky Marker should be made and installed in its place. [30]

However, as his own testimony for his pension demonstrates, he was no where near Kentucky during the Rev. War.

Others claim he was buried at Otter Creek, Kentucky:

It is believed that "Big Jake" is buried at the Troxell Cemetery at Otter Creek in an unmarked grave. "Little Jake" (Jacob Jr.) Troxell and Salina Steele Troxell are buried in the Troxell Cemetery in Steele Hollow.

Actual monuments in the Troxell Cemetery at Otter Creek read:

Jacob Troxell Sr. 1832-1915
Peter Troxell 1840-1890*
*Son of George W. And Nancy (Abbott) Troxel.[31]

Jacob Troxel Cemetery Nearby Town: Marshes Siding, KY[32]

Location: From US 27 take KY 700 out of Marshes Siding, KY. You'll be going NNW. Past BM 1237 as shown on the topographic map. Approximately, 3.5 miles from US 27 you'll intersect with the Daniel Boone National Forest's Yahoo Falls Rd. The grave is to the right of the road in an enclosed rustic wood fence, probably put there by the U.S. Forest Service.

War Memorial: (Apparently this memorial has been removed) Troxell, Jacob 18 Jan1758 10 Oct1810 Pennsylvania, Pvt. 6 Co. Philadelphia Co. Militia, Revolutionary War. Jan. 18, 1758 October 10, 1810. Note: Monument is inscribed with Star of David.[33]

But his pension records clearly state he died in DeKalb County, Alabama about 1843.

About that Headstone

Attached to this profile is a photograph of a headstone that was placed, apparently, in the national forest near the supposed location of the Yahoo Falls massacre (a massacre for which there is no historical record). This photograph is also found on a Find-a-Grave memorial for this Jacob Troxell. It reads:

[Star of David]
JACOB
TROXEL
PENNSYLVANIA
PVT 6 CO
PHILADELPHIA
CO MILITIA
REVOLUTIONARY
WAR
JANUARY 18, 1758
OCTOBER 10, 1810

Regarding the military service, there WAS such a company, and one Jacob Troxel was second class in this company.[34] However, we believe that this gravestone is a 20th century and inaccurate representation of the real man for the following reasons:

  • Jacob Troxel of Kentucky was never in Pennsylvania.
  • The government didn’t put religious symbols on stones until 1925, so if it’s real it’s after then.
  • Ancestry only has the applications for Revolutionary War gravestones online until 1963 and he’s not in there, so again, if real, it’s from later than 1963.
  • The forest (where the stone and supposed grave is located) was re-dedicated in 1966, so stone probably ordered 1964-65

We therefore believe that Collins ordered and had installed the marker between 1965-1975. This is also claimed and explained quite well by a historian Samuel Perry.[35]

There is no official source. The date we have comes from his memorial marker, and his application for pension, which has one year later. Jacob himself wasn't sure.
