Jacob was the husband of my 3rd great-grand Aunt.

He was the son of Dietrich "John" Kover (1745) and Maria (Hauck) Coover.

From Biographical Annals of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, Chicago: The Genealogical Publishing Co., 1905, pages 176-177.

Jacob Coover, father of Mrs. Catharine (Coover) Heyd, was born in Cumberland county, near Carlisle, and he followed farming and distilling along the Yellow Breeches creek, in Monaghan township, York county.

He married Elizabeth Morrett, daughter of Hartman Morrett, of Cumberland county. He died in York county at the age of sixty-five years (side note: this age is incorrect according to Jacob's headstone), and his wife died at the age of sixty-two years.

Their children were: Levi, who died unmarried at Camp Hill, Cumberland county; Susanna, who married Christian Bowman, and died in York county; Michael, who, on March 14, 1904, celebrated his ninety-first birthday in Silver Spring, Cumberland county; Jacob, who died in York county, Pa.; Mary Ann, who died in Camp Hill; Eliza, who passed away in Dillsburg, York county; John, who died in York county; Sarah Ann, who died in Cumberland county; Samuel, living with his sister, Mrs. Heyd; Catharine, who became Mrs. Heyd; and Daniel, who died in York county.

First settled in Lancaster Co., PA, then went to Cumberland County, where he settled along the Yellow Breeches creek.
