Person:Jacob Jackson (30)

The Underhill source book says that Jacob was born in Brooklyn, New York. But his parents' family home was in Oyster Bay and they were enumerated in Oyster Bay both in 1850 and 1860. I am assuming Oyster Bay was the location of his birth.

The following contributed by Dr. Anthony Troha:
Images of America: Syosset, by Tom Montalbano, published by Arcadia Publishing (2001). (available fr Google books),Page 16:

“Shortly after the Revolution, (great-great-uncle) Townsend Jackson purchased several hundred acres at the corner of what is now Jericho Turnpike and the north-south street that was then called Oyster Bay Road. The property, which extended as far north as Teibrook Avenue, passed through several generations and eventually belonged to Jacob W. Jackson, the owner of a large trucking concern in New York. In Jackson’s day, the trucks were pulled by horses, which he brought out to his ranch every so often for a few days of rest. The thoroughfare that paralleled the Jackson property was later named Jackson Avenue. (Carl Baker.)” Included in this article is a picture of this beautiful homestead.

Dr. Troha continues: The next piece of information is a death notice for Jacob Willits Jackson:

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Wednesday, December 30, 1936, Page 11, Column 2:
