He eventually purchased his freedom and married Isabella Dawson. They raised fourteen children (seven boys and seven girls). Jacob was a farmer and ran a business featuring a technology called the dipping well. This dipping well was used to sanitize livestock by ridding them of fleas, ticks, and other parasites.

My father, a World War II army veteran, worked for and retired from the local
