• Notes

  Married: Their love affair was a peculiar one. Jane had been drying apples for Jacob on shares. When it was time to divide the apples Jacob exclaimed, "Thee need not divide the apples, if thee is willing thee can have them all." Jane being willing, they were happily married; Jacob being sixty years old at the time of the marriage. There were five children born to their union, two sons and three daughters.
