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).
