By the way, Waldlaubersheim and Waldalgesheim are 3.5 km apart, so it's highly likely that the Jacobus families from each village are related.

Re: Catharina Jacobus (1809-1873) of Waldalgesheim, Germany

jonsmall_1 — 2009-08-12 20:59:47Z

I am also a descendent from a Jacobus from Waldlaubersheim. My great, great, great grandfather was Philipp Jacobus, born 15 Jun 1801 in Waldlaubersheim. This is a record I have in a family Bible. The translation of the full text is "Philipp Jacobus born 15 June, 1801
The baptism witnesses were Pf. Marx and his wife, Gebohren-maiden name Krupp. My wife Martha [unreadable] was born in Mandel on 22nd Dec. 1805. The baptism witnesses were Peter Schneider from Mandel and Martha [Balmbach?] from Windesheim. We above named got married in the year 1826 [small unreadable word] the second Christmasday. Our daughter [Christina, my g,g, grandmother] was born in the year 1828, 17th May. Godparents are my mother Maria Christina. Our son [Philipp or Phillip, jr.] was born in the year 1832, 14th of October. The godparents have been Philipp [Kercher?] from [Göhnheim] and Philipp [Weiners?] from here."
In the 1870 census he is living in Greenfield, MA, with his son Phillip (married to Agnes Sauter), age 70.
In the 1880 census he is living in Greenfield (age 79) with his daughter, "Christrian Jacobus," [Christina] who is the widow of Jacob Sauter.
There was a Philip Jacobus and a wife Martha with the correct dates of birth, both from Germany, on the 1860 Census living in Galloway Township in New Jersey, he was listed as a shoemaker.
I have a fair bit of information about the descendents of Christina Jacobus Sauter and her brother Phillip Jacobus (who married Agnes Sauter), but I have nothing about the ancestors of their father Philipp (other than his mother's name was Maria Christina)

pathdenver — 2009-08-11 00:07:45Z

I was browsing the Jacobus message board when I noticed your posting that mentioned Addie's son Alexander having married Elizabeth Kehoe. I found your family history on Ancestry that showed Elizabeth's mother as Catherine Burns (but no father). I could only find one Elizabeth Kehoe born about 1882 and living in Newark. Her mother was Elizabeth Burns and her father Nicholas Kehoe. This Elizabeth Kehoe was my grandmother's sister. I found the family in the 1900 census and the 1895 NJ census. My grandmother was Sarah (born 1884). Are you sure of the Catherine?

Hi,
I found Julia A. Anderson in census records, but her husband is listed as David, not Daniel.
Did you notice in the 1850 Census, David and Julia A. live in the same house as James (51) and Margaret (52) Jacobus (indexed as Jacobes)? James and David have the same occupation--toll gatherer. At 30 Julia is not too old to be James & Margaret's daughter. However, it is also possible for her to be James' sister.

1850 Harrison, Hudson, NJ
James Jacobus 51 NJ
Margaret 52 NJ
Margaret 14 NJ
Sarah Colman 80 NJ
Mary Jager 15 NJ
Wm. Shumaker 34 Servant Germany

Hope this is of some help.

Jacobus Marriage information needed

sKeas — 2009-06-26 15:57:07Z

Raymond Jacobus son of Francis & Henry V. N. Jacobus of Caldwell, Essex County New Jersey born in 1864 is shown in the 1900 Census with 2 children. Florence 11 and Mandyage 7 he is living in Montville twp. Later in 1910 he is married to a Elizabeth M. and has no children. I feel that he must have been married before because he has a nanny for the children and shows no wife in 1900. Please help.
Thanks.

Julia Ann Jacobus - NJ

ribbit59 — 2008-12-27 21:34:38Z

I am searching for the parents of my 3rd great grandmother, Julia Ann Jacobus. According to census records, she was born abt 1821 in New Jersey. She married Daniel Anderson in 1839 and had 9 children: James, William, Elizabeth, Joseph, Harriet, Ada, Franklin, Julia, and Harry. The family lived in either Hudson or Essex counties over the years. I'm not having much luck figuring out her parentage, although I have seen her listed as a child of Simon Jacobus/Catherine Decker and Simon Jacobus/Elizabeth Van Houton. I have no proof of either. I'm also unable to find her date of death.

Thank you for any help!

Re: Isaac Jacobus

tevanness — 2008-04-18 15:38:08Z

Isaac was a popular name in the Jacobus family. It makes sorting them out difficult. My Jacobus line was in Essex Co., so mine won't help.

Have you looked through the Birth and Marriage Records for your county? New Jersey began keeping them in 1848.

The birth records were not always complete as the attending doctor sent them in. He didn't always know the baby's name, so that is sometimes left off.

Marriage records, however, were usually complete. The participants were adults, knew all the information and gave it to the record taker. The Pastor, judge, or JP taking the records often knew the families.

If you don't or didn't find them in the year you expect, try the year preceeding and the 2 years after. Sometimes the doctor or pastor waited a while before sending in the information. A less populous area would have fewer births or marriages and the pastor or doctor would wait until he had full page in his record book filled in and then send it to the record keeper with the county. I have found some records in books as far 3 years out of date.

Re: Isaac Jacobus

smarcher1 — 2008-04-18 14:04:19Z

Hi,
I am looking for ancestry of Isaac Jacobus b. ca. 1860 in NJ, possibly in the area of Johnsonburg, Warren County.

The only evidence to support that as his birthplace is a delayed birth certificate, issued in 1944, in which his ex-wife states that he, she, and their daughter were all born there. Certainly, the 2 women were born in that area, but they had been divorced for over 20 years, and she was almost 70 years old when she made the statement.

I have found them in the census, living with her parents, and his birthplace is listed as NJ and date listed as 1860. He married Cora Losey, daughter of Nathan Losey and Louisa Koker. They had 3 children: Susie (1898-1982), Mahlon and Harry.

An Isaac Jacobus died in Stanhope in the early 1930s. That Isaac had a sister, Sarah. I'm not sure if he is the same one or not. There seems to be another Isaac close to the same age and locality during my Isaac's lifetime.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thank you for replying. That was an interesting observation regarding how slowly reports were sent in. I hadn't thought of that before.

Re: Jacobus's of Fairfield NJ

DawnHoffman96 — 2007-08-01 12:57:51Z

I'm not sure we're related, but I think we are. I am descendent from Lewis Jacobus of Hasbrouck Heights NJ. He had 13 children and was married to Grace nee Lightwize. My mother Emma was #5 of 13. I know we had other relatives in the area, but am unsure exactly where. Unfortunately, most of my aunts/uncles have begun to pass away. We still have 3 uncles and 1 aunt living but they are the younger ones. My sister and I are hoping to begin the process of tracing our ancestry on the Jacobus side. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I think my grandfather was second generation but he may have been first. My mother was born in 1922 so my grandfather had to be born around the late 1890's or so. You would think with all those children we would have had alot of information but we don't. The children's names were Lewis, June, Georgianna, Daniel, Emma, Blanche, Harold, Delores, John, Shirley, Richard, Raymond and Robert. Married daughters last names include Berkhoffer, Carlock, DeWitt, McIntyre, Folhbrecht and Karklin. If any of these names ring any bells, please let me know. My grandfather worked for Bergen County. I know one of my greatgrandfather's ran a small store in Hasbrouck Heights, but am unsure if he was on the Jacobus side or Lightwize. Thank you.

J & C JACOBUS

florida_bob — 2008-02-09 22:21:27Z

Hello.

I found the Jacobus family board on rootsweb while doing a web search, and was wondering if anyone monitoring this family thread can help me.

I have a countermarked coin in my collection that is stamped "J & C JACOBUS / WARRANTED / CAST STEEL / STEEL / 1234". It is an old large cent, and was probably stamped somewhere between 1840 and 1875. See the attached image. I am trying to determine the location and date that this company was in business. I was wondering if any of the Jacobus family researchers had ever come across this company name before.

Thanks! Bob M.
