Jacob was born in 1785. He is the second son of Jacob Pettibone and Rosetta Barber named Jacob Wayne.
Jacob Pettibone may have accompanied Oliver and Rosetta Snow when they left Massachusetts for their new life in the west, or he may have joined them in Mantua after 1807, when their father died. At any rate he was in Mantua in 1811, when he married Patty Tinker.
Jacob W. Pettibone was a private in the Second Regiment, Fourth Brigade, Fourth Division, Ohio Militia, in the War of 1812, as were his brother-in-law, Lieutenant Oliver Snow, and his brother, Harry O. Pettibone [Wamer, Beers & Co., p. 279; see J3423]. The U.S. Census of 1850 for Portage County, Ohio, lists Jacob Pettibone, aged 67, mason, along with his wife, Patty, 66, and his two youngest daughters, Marinda and Marilla, aged 29. A mystifying note in the Pettibone records of Jacob S. Pettibone, of Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, states that "Jacob Pettibone . . . removed to Ohio and later went to Montana.“ The fact that he and his wife, who outlived him by several years, were in Mantua in 1850 and were both buried in Mantua several years later seems to indicate that he lived there most of his married life and was there when he died. A likely explanation is that a typist may have misread Jacob's note "Mantua" as "Montana."[1]
His headstone has his birth date as 1785. [2]
Headstone indicates that he died at the age of 67.
