Jacobs, son of William and Mary E (Larking) Jacobs. Siblings- Thankful, Henry, John, William and Mary. I show them in the 1850 census of Peoria Co, IL. But in 1860, I show Mary as being md. to Nelson Madison and coming to Iowa. I just received a ruby red goblet- dated 1899 with Mary E. Nelson's name on it from my mother. So I am assuming this was to celebrate their 40th anniversary. As far as I know, they only brought Nelson, of the Jacobs family with them here. Do you have any info on this family? Thank you Lori (Godlove)Frazier
