This Jacob is last "seen" in the 1830 Undistributed Crawford County, Indiana federal census in the 60-69 age group with likely wife between 50-59. His oldest son is in Knox County, IL as a land owner by 1834 withOUT Dad best we can tell ..... his brother Jacob 1807 soon to follow to the Galesburg area as well. See 1850 Federal Census. 1840 Federal Census is not available.
