Birth*	20 April 1822	Jacob was born on 20 April 1822 at Helmshiem, Baden, Germany.3,4,5,6
Immigration                 19 Oct 1853		Jacob Feldman Sr. immigrated from Baden, Germany. He left Harve on 20 September 1853 and arrived at  the port of New York on the19th of October 1853 aboard the ship  Harve. He is listed as a 31 year old farmer from Baden.3,7   See list of passenger on the Harve  here.   Line 122 His obituary says that he arrived in 1851.  Could this Jacob that arrived in 1853 be the Older Jacob??? Have not been able to find an immigration information regarding the older Jakob/Jacob and we know that he came to Whiteside county as he is buried there.
Marriage	26 April 1858	Jacob Feldman Sr., 36 years old, married Christina Swartz, who was 29 years old, 26 April 1858 in Morrison, Whiteside county, Illinois. This marriage is #91 in Whiteside county. The History of Whiteside county says that they had only two children, one of whom died as an infant.8,9
Intent	11 June 1859	Jacob filed his  Intent papers  with the courts in Morrison, Whiteside county, Illinois on 11 June 1859.5  Note that his name is spelled on this document as Feldemann.
Research needed		This family has not been found on the 1860 nor 1870 census.  Since he filed intent papers in 1859 in Whiteside county, he should be there!    When did he become a citizen????
		They had only two children..one who died very young. Likely one of the children that can not be identified in Morrison cemetery.3
		You can see "Feldman on the fascia of this building.  Jacob lived here and it is possible that George and his family lived here at one time also. Main Street Morrison Illinois Lighting was were poor for this picture but it gives you an idea of  where his restaurant was located. At one time they lived over this restaurant. These photos were taken by Phil Feldman about 1992.

		The History of Whiteside county tells us that he ran a restaurant, was a Lutheran and belonged to the IOOF. He was exempt from military duty during the Civil War because of "a disability", but does not say what the disability was. This source also tells us that he was a Republican.11
