He immigrated to Pike county, Missouri, in the fall of 1828, settling on the place where he now resides, and has always followed the avocation of a farmer. The subject of this sketch was first married in Kentucky (returning there for that purpose) on the 14th day of July, 1831, to Miss Amanda McDannold, sister of the late Judge Newton McDannold. From this union were born twelve children, of whom ten still survive. Mr. Jeans, having lost his first wife, was again married on the 2d day of June, 1858, to Mrs. Mildred A. Anderson, originally from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Then have but one child, a daughter, Mildred Emma. Mr. Jeans has been a consistent member of the Christian Church for a period of fifty years, and has lent all his influence to the advancement of morality and the cause of Christianity. His wife is, with him, a member of the same religious organization. Mrs. Jeans refers with pleasure to the fact that he has to his knowledge o single enemy, but lives in peace with all men. The venerable mother of the subject of our sketch was born in Fairfax county, Virginia, in 1772, and died in Pike county, Missouri, in 1854. Mr. Jeans refers with recollections of pleasure to his early years in his adopted state, and speaks with tenderness of the associates of the long ago, with whom so any of the better years of his early manhood were spent, but who have now fallen by the wayside. Mr. J., although seventy-three years of age, retains much of his physical vigor, while his mental facilities appear unimpaired.
