Taylor His Wife June 06, 1838 Mar. 21, 1922 Children: John F. Apr. 28, 1859 Sep. 15, 1860 William Chesley June 06, 1868 June 24, 1869∼( History of St. Joseph county 1880 ) Jacob Hooton was born in Indiana March 3, 1830; is a son of Thomas and Esther (Montgomery) Hooton, natives of the South, and of English descent. Both of his grandfathers were in the war of the Revolution. He received his education in the common schools in this tp. When he was bronght here he was only five years old, and he has never been out of the tp. one week since that time in his life. He is among the leading farmers and owns 370 acres of land. He was married Jan. 24, 1825, to Emily Jane Taylor, and they have had 7 children 5 of whom are now living. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church. He is a Trustee and a Republican. He has a neat and substantial residence, and has made what he has by honest toil. ( History of St. Joseph county 1907 ) In his early life he was employed as a sawyer and thresher, but the latter part of his business career was devoted to agricultural pursuits, and he was numbered among the leading business men of Olive township. It was in 1836 that he came to St. Joseph county, when the Indians and wild animals roamed at will through the dense forests, the red men often coming to their door and asking for bread, but they were friendly. There was then not a railroad throughout the northern portion of Indiana , while the nearest market for their wheat was Michigan City, the teaming being done by oxen, and only eight or ten bushels could be hauled at a time on account of the bad condition of the roads. Mr. Hooton was a man of firm decision of character, although kind hearted and generous to a fault, and many a dollar he lost by not being able to say no. He was successful in his business ventures, and his estate consisted of five hundred acres of land in Olive township and LaPorte county, a beautiful and valuable estate and a noble heritage to a noble pioneer. It was in 1853 that the young couple began life in a small clearing of fifty acres, their first home being a little log cabin where the brave pioneer wife cooked the meals by the old fashoned fire-place, and spun the yarn to knit the stockings for her children. Both were charter members of the Olive Chapel Church, ever afterward remaining its truest and stanchest members, and Mr. Hooton aided in the erection of the church building. In his political affiliations he was first an old Whig, and after the formation of the Republican party, he cast his vote for its first presidential candidate General John C. Fremont, remaining a loyal worker in its ranks. After his death the estate was divided and Mrs. Hooton now controls two hundred acres of excellent land in Olive township, on which their old homestead is located, and there she now resides, surrounded by life-long friends and her loving children.
