"Jacob first married Elisabeth Peters in Adams County, Pennsylvania, around 1809. They had four children together: Jesse (1810), Mary Ann (1813), George (1814), and Jacob (1816). Elisabeth died shortly after Jacob's birth.
Baby Jacob was taken in by his mother's two unmarried sisters, Polly (Maria) and Julia Peters. Apparently when the elder Jacob remarried and planned to move west to Ohio, the aunts would not give him up. So he stayed behind in Adams County.
The elder Jacob married Elizabeth Leathers about 1816-17, and they moved west to Stark County, Ohio. They had four more children together: Sarah Ann (1818), John B. (1820), Elizabeth (1822), and Hannah (1824)."--Find-a-grave

"Aged Mother at Rest -- Impressive funeral services were held at the home after which all that was mortal of this grand old mother in Israel was tenderly conveyed to our silent city where she now rests in peace.
Mrs. Sarah A. Davis was born in the state of New York September 12, 1831. In 1801 she was married to W. J. Davis and shortly afterwards moved to Dade county and settled near here long before the town of Lockwood was known. To this union were born three children, Mrs. Chas. Pelston, who resides near here, Mrs. Wm. Rollman, of this place and Henry L. Davis of Kansas City, all of whom are left to mourn her death. Early last spring she became quite sick and although at time she was thought to be better, she gradually became weaker and at last death relived her of all suffering. At the time of her death last Thursday night, October 12, she was 81 year and 1 month old. An impressive funeral service was held Saturday afternoon by the Rev. Oswald, pastor of the Methodist church. At an early age, Mrs. Davis became converted and united with the Methodist church. After coming here, she joined the United Brethern church, of which she remained a member until death. At the funeral service the song sung, "Asleep in Jesus" and "Just as I am" were of her choice, and the passage of scripture read was likewise to her choosing.
"God touched her with his finger and shes slept," but not until a long life was lived, a noble example of patience, fidelity to truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly life, in Jesus Christ, had cheered and illumined the valley of the shadow. And now, that she sleeps, memory takes up the harp of life, and smiting the strings, finds that her virtues melt into music. So it ever is, when a life is nobly and divinely lived. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of a loved one, as hope after hope dropped away as the petals fall from a fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. She who has gone forth could not be supported on her solitary path by any earthly friend. The heroic devotion of her children never faltered but they could not detain her by the clasp of earthly love. Each death is a link that binds us to the beyond, so let us live and do, that when our time comes we will be found a good link in the endless chain of the plan of Nature.
The Luminary, with their hosts of friends, extends to the bereaved family the hand of sympathy in this, their hours of sorrow."--20 Oct 1911, Lockwood (MO) Luminary
