JOHN JACOBY farmer, P.O. New Britain, was born in Doylestown 
township on January 2, 1829, and is a son of John, Sr. and 
Mary (Shifler) Jacoby, natives of Bucks county.  The Jacoby 
family were among the early settlers of Durham township.  
The grandfather of our subject was a blacksmith by trade and 
also carried on farming.  The father of John was born in 
Durham township and moved to Doylestown township about 1820, 
and purchased the farm where Henry F. now lives.  He died in 
his 81st year.  He was the father of nine children, three of 
whom are living:  Isaac, Susan, wife of Samuel Haldeman, and 
John, who is a farmer in Doylestown township, where he has 
always lived.  He owned three farms, two of which he has 
deeded to his sons.  On March 2, 1852, he married Sarah, 
daughter of Henry and Hester (Meredith) Clymer.  They are 
the parents of five children:  Henry F., Edwin and Carrie, 
living, and Mary and Jennie, deceased.  Mr. Jacoby and his 
wife are members of the Baptist church at New Britain, of 
which he has been a trustee for twenty years.
