Fought in Oliver Ashley’s company in the Revolutionary War. The battalion fought at Saratoga in 1777.

A surveyor sent to Susqehanna about 1799 by the Susquehanna Company to make surveys.[Jacobus] Jeremiah appears in Luzerne Co, which became Susquehanna Co at some point, in 1800 and 1810. In 1820, he is listed in Springville in Susquehanna County. In the 1810 and 1820 censuses, there are several young children, younger than those of Jeremiah and Tirzah (present at 45+) and some extra child-bearing age women, so possibly a daughter or servant with her children.
