Read More	Bennet Jacobs was born June 26, 1783 in Hampshire County, Virginia (now WV) which lies on the eastern slope of the Appalachian Mountains. When he was a toddler, Bennet relocated 500 miles westward with his parents and extended family to Shelbyville, Kentucky County, Virginia (now KY) and occupied 100-acres of land earned by his father Samuel's 3+ years of service in the Virginia State Line during the Revolutionary War. On June 7, 1802 Bennet and Nancy Watts were married in Shelbyville. Together they had eleven children; five boys beginning with Austin in 1803, and six girls ending with Lucretia in 1826. As a young man, Bennet served as a Private in Captain Isaac Watkins' Company of Peter Dudley's Mounted Battalion with the Kentucky Volunteers during the War of 1812. His father, along with his brothers James, and Martin also fought in either mounted or rifle regiments of the Kentucky Volunteers. In 1820, the extended Jacobs family moved to Indiana, initially to Washington County and then later Johnson County. These moves again are presumed to be in pursuit of land earned through Bounty Land Warrants for service in the War of 1812. Beyond his service in the War of 1812, Bennet was a minister and performed marriages for many of his relatives. He died October, 27, 1861 at the age of 78. Bennet is buried in Pennington Cemetery, Sigourney, Keokuk County Iowa, alongside his wife who died in 1870 at the age of 87.
