Biography

Jacob was born about 1804. He was the son of Jacob Francisco and Hannah Cole. He passed away in 1887.

The following is from the chapter "Family Sketches" in "History of Ontario county, New York," page 295:

Francisco, Job, Canadice, was born in Canadice, November 21, 1831. His father, Jacob, was born in Manlius, Onondage County about 1808, and died at the age of seventy-seven. He came to this town when thirteen years old, and on arriving at Cayuga bridge, where the toll was located, a man invited him into his wagon, covering him with a blanket, thus passing the boy free. He returned to Onondaga county, and came again permanently when nineteen years of age. He was a blacksmith by trade, and worked at the business until disabled by infirmity. He married Lovisa Goodfellow, a native of Onondage county, who bore him eight children. John, who died in Portage in 1891, aged sixty-four years; Sophronia Cordelia, Solomon, Job, Emeline, Francis Marion, who enlisted in the late war and died in the Florence prison pen; Harrison Eugene was in the army and died in 1891 in Parma, Monroe County; and Mary Persis, wife of Alonzo Holmes. Later in life Jacob purchased a sixty-six acre farm, which he worked. Job learned the blacksmith's trade. He married Maria Trowbridge of West Bloomfield, whose grandfather Cruger, came from Massachusets. Of their four children, one son, Henry, died at the age of twenty-two. The others are Stella, wife of Charles Caldwell of Richmond; Nellie, wife of Harry Thomas of Steuben county, and Ida, who is also at home. Mr. Francisco has always lived in this town. He has sixty-five acres on the homestead and forty-six acres on the Lake Road. He has lived on his present place twenty three years. In politics he is a Republican, as are also his sons. His great grandfather, emigrated to this country from France and settled in the East and it is claimed that he lived to attain the great age of 133 years, as appears by a pamphlet published long ago.
