Notes:

Jacob C. DuBois was born 12/15/1771 in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York, and died 09/11/1844 in Alaiedon
Township.  Jacob C. married Sarah Buck on 11/03/1796 (see information regarding Sarah Buck DuBois below).  Jacob and
Sarah are buried beside each other in DuBois Cemetery and are surrounded by several DuBois relatives.  Jacob C. was
the son of Coenradt/Conrad DuBois (06/22/1735-1810) and Maria (Delamater) DuBois (06/12/1740-1789).  Both Jacob C.’s
father (Coenradt/Conrad) and brother (Martin, 1764-1854) served in the New York infantry in the Revolutionary War.
 This branch of the DuBois family came to this country when New York was still named New Amsterdam (1660’s).
 Coenradt/Conrad DuBois served in Captain John Hasbrouck’s company in Colonel John Cantine’s Regiment from Ulster
County in 1778.  Conrad’s son, Martin (brother of Jacob C.), served in Colonel Weissenfel’s Regiment of the New
York.  Levies were drafts from inside militia to go outside New York to do military service.
In the fall of 1838, Jacob and family settled part of Section 36, Alaiedon Township.  Jacob C. and Sarah (Buck)
DuBois had seven sons: Asa (1798-06/08/1885), Martin (1801-1880), John (08/30/1804-02/11/1880), Garrett
(02/08/1806-09/23/1884), James (circa 1810-August 1879), Jacob (05/10/1812-06/16/1880), and Stephen Buck
(03/20/1816-10/29/1861).  Two of these sons married Longyear women.  Jacob married Mary Longyear in 1844 and Stephen
married Hannah Longyear (date unknown).
