Side
Revolutionary War
Apparently joined the war effort shortly after his arrival in America.
He was 16 or 17. Belonged to a volunteer company in Philadelphia and served
under Captain Samuel Morris in Washington's command. Later in the war,
one of his officers was Luke Morris, a merchant in Philadelphia, serving
under the command of Thomas Mifflin, the quartermaster general of the Continental
Army.
Jacob's military records show that he was with Washington's army
when it crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776. Early the
next morning, Washington's troops struck a finishing blow to the garrison
of three regiments of hired German Hessians stationed at Trenton, New Jersey,
under the command of Lord Charles Cornwallis. On January 2, 1777, Jacob
was at the Battle of Princeton, New Jersey, where the British had another
defeat. Together, these battles constituted the first turning point in
the war and temporarily cleared the British and Hessians out of New Jersey.
The records show that Jacob was also present at the surrender of
Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781. This was the siege
that ended the war. (He would have been 22 by this time.)
