Notes - Jacob Furlow IV was a farmer born in Kingston, Ulster County, New York to Germanic parents and raised in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA, as the son of a Loyalist soldier from the American Revolution who returned to New York after the revolution.
In 1790 Jacob was still living with his widowed father, brother and sisters in Ulster County, New York, USA. By 1800 Jacob had his own household in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA residing nearby to his father. Jacob was married, presumably to Mehitable W. (whose surname is unknown), however no record of their marriage has been found. He is shown with the following family: 1m26-45, 1f26-45. (Either Mehitable's age is incorrect here or, more likely, Jacob had a wife previous to Mehitable. The latter suggestion is supported by 1810 census data.)
By 1810 Jacob disappears from Ulster County records and a matching Jacob appears in Tully, Onandaga County, New York, where he is shown with the following family: 2m-10, 1m10-16, 1m26-45, 2f-10, 1f10-16, 1f16-26, 1f26-45. We have no proof that these two Jacobs are the same, however, there is no earlier record of any Jacob Furlow in Onandaga County. The fact that they match statistically, and that one appears at the same time the other disappears would certainly suggest that they are the same person. The 1810 census indicates that Jacob may have had a son b 1794-1800 from a previous marriage.
By 1820 Jacob disappears from Onandaga County records and a matching Jacob appears in the town of Chautauqua, Chautauqua County, New York, USA. Again we have no proof that they are the same Jacob, except for the same argument as above. Also, family records state that Jacob came to Chautauqua county as one of its earliest settlers, having come from Onandaga or Cayuga County. (Onandaga and Cayuga Counties were in fact one county prior to 1799, hence the ambiquity.) Census records place Jacob in Chatauqua County as early as 1820, where he would live out the rest of his life. He is found in 1820 in the town of Chautauqua with the following family: 1m-10, 2m10-15, 1m45+, 3f-10, 2f10-15, 1f26-44. This census would indicate that one of his daughters died before 1820 -- either Jerusha or Christina (whose later whereabouts is unknown).
By 1825 a local census indicates that he had moved to Ellery Township, Chautaqua, New York.
In 1830 Jacob was residing in Ellery, Chautauqua, New York, USA with the following family: 1m -5, 1m 15-20, 1m 20-30, 1m 50-60, 2f 5-10, 2f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 20-30, 1f 40-50.
In 1840 he was residing in Carroll, Chautauqua, New York with the following family: 1m 20-30, 1m 70-80, 1f 50-60. Jacob's age at death is given as 79, but this may not be entirely accurate.
Family tradition claims that Jacob was also known as "Lewis Jacob Furlow". Whether Lewis was a formal first name or just a nickname is not known.
