Hi Raya, Was your Jacoby family from the Bunker Hill, Alton, Jerseyville area. The Macoupin Co. Genealogical Soc. printed a bit of history of this family in the April 1998 Macoupin Co. Searcher. Sounds like some of the same first names. It was extracted from a free publication the Jacoby brothers handed out in 1908.
