[4023] Place of birth assumes that JW and his sister were both born in Newmarket,
which is very likely given that Libbie is known to have lived there until 1836.

Cricket says in a letter dated 09-12-1883 that "the 25th is JWs birthday";
from that and the various censuses I've set his birthdate as probably 25 Sep 1833.

The 1900 census shows that Mary Jacobs bore four children, but in the
1880 census there are six children living with JW and Mary, with
an eight-year gap between the oldest two and youngest four. Mary
is too young to have reasonably been the mother of the oldest two
children, and her obituary confirms that she had only four children.
This implies that there is still an unaccounted for first Mrs, Jacobs.

The 1880 census also suggests that Alice, the oldest child, was born in IL in
about 1861, but that Thomas, the next child, was born in Canada in 1863.
Subsequent census records bear out that Thomas was born in Canada and
all the younger children in IL. Alice I don't know the married name of, and can't find.
A letter implies that she probably married around Christmas 1884.
