About James Jacobus
GEDCOM Note
Added by chandlershome on 14 May 2008 (2008 Ancestry tree by Chandlers lists another spouse as /unknown/ DeKobus, maybe it's mispelling for the name Jacobus that I have. -bbg)
Emily Jane James is the sister of Thomas David James. His mother Zeprie was married to a Jacobus (German or Austria Immigrant). After he died shortly after Thomas was born (c 1825) Zeprie married one of three English or Welsh brothers--a James. Thomas David then took his step father's last name. I'm not sure if Emily did also or not. Zeprie's other children are from her James marriage.
Perry Streeter list Emily Jane Jacobus, also known as Jane, born NY (per 1900 census) or 24 Jan 1824, died, probably in Damascus after 8 June 1900 (census) and before 1910 census; buried Overlook Cemetery, Damascus Twp, dau of Simon & Elisabeth (_) Jacobus. Need source of identification of parents. Find a grave entry provides conflicting claim that she was the dau of James & Zepry (_) Jacobus. ( should read d/o Israel B. James & Zepry unk Jacobus James- bbg)
