Apparently he left his family behind when he joined the Colorado Gold Rush in 1861.

He appeared back at Illinois in the 1870 census with a different woman, and twice at Colorado in the 1880 census with other women.

His son Edward appears at Detroit in the 1870 census, and in Alma, Colorado in the 1880 census at the Phillips Lode mines while Jacob appears at Leadville.

    "Know all men by these presents, that we, Buckskin Joe & Co., claim 1,800
    feet on the Phillips lead, and I, Buckskin Joe, claim the right of discovery."

    Recorder Stansell was presented with claim No. 6 because he recorded the
    certificates without fees, and this proved the richest section of the lode. In October,
    1861, a town company was formed, composed of I. W. Hibbard, J. B. Stansell,
    Miles B. Dodge and J. D. Stewart.
