JACOB M. DUVALL, son of Gabriel and Ellen Duvall, is the third in a family
of three boys and two girls, and was born in April, 1848, in Edmonson
County, Ky.  His father, Gabriel Duvall, a son of Jacob and Elizabeth
Duvall, was reared on a farm; at the age of nineteen he married Ellen
French, and commenced farming in Edmonson County.  At the age of thirty he
moved with his family to Jasper County, Ill., where he and his wife both
died.  After their death the children were reared by their uncle, Thomas
Duvall, who brought them back to Edmonson County, Ky.  At the age of
twenty-one Jacob Duvall began for himself; he raised a crop, and in the
fall taught school for one term, and has since taught four terms.  In
February, 1874, he married Patie Jones, who was a native of Kentucky.  To
Mr. and Mrs. Duvall the following children were born:  Vitruly, Iduna,
Ulysses, Cora, Bellmar, and an infant daughter.  Since his marriage Mr.
Duvall has followed farming, and now owns about 600 acres, of which 160
acres are under cultivation; he also trades in stock, and is one of the
enterprising men of his community.  He served as sheriff one year by
appointment; in politics he is a Democrat.
