Lived in the dwelling (49) next to Thompson Mize's
(50) according to 1850 Census for Perry Township, Davis Co., Iowa. Jacob
was a farmer whose estate was worth $200.
Shared the same dwelling site with Merrill Mize's family according to 1860 Census. A George Miller, farmer born in Missouri (1830) also shared this household. Jacob had $100 in personal property and no real estate in 1860.
A Frederick Mize, "nephew," 20, is listed living in his household along with a William Craig, "Laborer," 15, in the 1880 Census. Enumerated in this census (66) right before S. T. Fulkerson (67).
Jacob was also on the first school board for the Rincon Valley School, and his name appears on the deed of transfer of the school's land between Dr. T. S. Fulkerson and the board.
There are two local histories about Jacob Harris. One in History of Sonoma County, by J. P. Munro-Frasier (1880), pp. 645-646, and the other in An Illustrated History of Sonoma County, California (1889), p. 450.
Extracted Sonoma County deeds for Jacob Harris are available.
Jacob was involved in a suit: Superior Court Civil Case No. 2828, January 1891: Joseph W. Ridgeway, Plaintiff, -vs- T. M. Harris, Phebe Harris, and Jacob Harris, Defendants. Appears to have been a co-signer of a loan which his son obtained. An extracted transcription of this suit exists here linked to his son, Thompson Mize Harris.
Jacob Harris' obituary were printed in The Press Democrat and The San Francisco Call.
