Jacob Smith's name appears in several history books: Howard's History,
Chapman's History, Memoirs of Elkhart & St Joseph Co. The article I mentioned was
in So Bend & Men who have made it. The only date mentioned was about Barney, born 25
Jan 1845 and was 1 year old when they came to America. Barney married Julia Kimball 30
Apr 1979.
The Howard article is about Jonathan Smith son of Jacob &
Mary Catherine (Beach) Smith. Jonathan was born in Germany 15 Nov 1846 the eldest child.
Jacob & M Catherine had 9 children, 4 sons 5 dau, 5 were born in Germany. Came to US
in 1854 and to St Joe Co in 1855.
