JACOBS
The only complete history of this family to be recorded is that of Zachariah Jacobs, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1803 of Dutch descent. As a young man he left home riding a horse and, according to the Pennsylvania tradition, was never heard of again. In after years Zachariah told his children that he reached the Niagara frontier in 1825 and swam his horse across the river to Canada.
Zachariah met and married Mary Ramey and they came as bride and groom to a farm owned by Courtland White on the Twenty in Grimsby Township. Later they moved to Tweedside, Saltfleet Township and purchased a farm where Tweedside school still stands. Zacahriah died in 1879 and his wife Mary in 1886 and they were buried in the Tweedside burying ground - dates on their stones - Zachariah 1803 - 1879 - Mary, wife of, 1807 - 1886
