Jacob Samachson, son of Avraham, was born in Europe in 1853 in the area of Lithuania/Russia. As was common with Jewish families in that time and place, he and his brothers all changed their last names. Legend says that the family's original name was Berenstein.
Jacob and his family (three sons, one daughter) settled in Trenton, NJ where he ran a dry-goods store. He was one of the founders of Congregation Brothers of Israel.
