Jacoby.  The grandfather of our subject, Francis Jacoby, was born in
Germany, and started for America in 1764, and upon the same vessel was a
maiden named Frederina Lotspirg, also of German birth.  The young
emigrants falling in love, were married in England, where their vessel
touched, and they then proceeded on their journey to the colonies, settling
in Virginia, remaining there till [sic] 1785, when they moved to Kentucky,
with their family, including a son, Jacob, the father of our subject, who
was born in 1779.  They lived for a while in a cabin in the then wilderness
of Kentucky, and in 1791 built the house in which James S. now lives. The

which occurred in 1789.  Jacob died Jan. 28, 1843, his wife having passed
