Jacob, son of Christopher Bishir and Hannah Lamon, was born on 17 October 1796 in Westmoreland, Pennslyvania. He was one of seven siblings in the Bishir household.
Jacob married Elizabeth Coddington, daughter of Joseph Coddington, on 28 February 1821 in Warren, Ohio, United States. His new family lived in Hillboro, Ohio. They had a large farm as indicated by the 1850 Agrrigultural census. [1][2][3][4][5]
Jacob died and had a will on 9 January 1868 in Highland, Ohio, United States.[6]
Have Jacob's will. An elderly man (in his 60s) is living with Jacob and Elizabeth in 1830. This may be Jacob's father, Christopher. (Elizabeth's father is still in Warren Co.) Ayres indicates Jacob was buried in Olive Branch cemetery in Hillsboro in December, 1864. However, his grave was found in Hillsboro Cemetery.
An article in the Hillsboro Press-Gazette on 7 May 1965 indicates that Jacob may have owned a mill and ice houseabout 50 yards or so down Rocky Ford Creek from the private bridge. Nothing remains but a few scattered timbers, but it is thought that Jacob owned the area of the Girl Scout camp there at one time.
