When he was a child his father moved to Coshocton County, Ohio, and twelve or thirteen years later to Greene County, Indiana. After he reached manhood his parents, in 1854, moved to Iowa and settled in Clay Township, Wayne County, where the father died January 29, 1869. Jacob McVey was the son of poor parents, and was early obligated to assist in the maintenance of the family. His educational advantages were necessarily limited as his services were required on the farm. In his youth he was inured to the mysteries of clearing, chopping, picking brush, rolling logs, splitting rails, etc. He has often chopped the timber for 300 rails in a day, his brother Henry splitting them. When he started in life for himself his father was unable to give him any assistance, and the only thing he possessed was a young colt; but with a determination to make life a success he persevered and soon had a comfortable, though not elegant home, and a few acres under cultivation. His first house was a log cabin, with puncheon floors and door, clapboard roof, and sod fire-place. His furniture was of the rudest sort, mostly of his own manufacture. He was industrious, and by good management and economy has accumulated 320 acres of fine land, all well improved, and his home is one of the pleasantest in the township. He was married February 1, 1858, to Nancy J., daughter of Henry Shank, now of Oregon. They have had seven children, of whom six are living -- Frank, Samuel, Ella, Rachel, Henry and Cora.
