Son of Adam Fizer, Jr. (1794-ca 1861?or 1866?). Jacob died after the 1880 census.
A number of internet available records show Jacob as son of David A. Fizer (1800-1869) memorial no. 15771885 and Eliza Jane (Eads) Fizer. David Fizer was Jacob's uncle who moved his immediate family from Saline County, Missouri to Kansas in 1854 during the "Bloody Kansas" era.
Jacob and his sons owned land in Township 51, Range 19 with the 1876 and 1896 plat books showing ownership in Section 20. The 1876 plat book shows Jacob in ownership of 200 acres in Section 20. Jacob's father and two uncles, David and Henry (1786-1842), began obtaining land patents in T51, R19 in the 1840s. Henry Fizer had the earliest patent in 1837 in Section 31 of T 51, R 19. These patents were about four miles east of Orearville which later had two churches with cemeteries as well as a school and smith shop. The cemetery now known as the Orearville Cemetery was a Baptist Church cemetery. Jacob Fizer's stone has not been read in this cemetery but his memorial page is placed here because it is the most logical place of burial.
Adam Jr., David, and Henry were sons of Adam Fizer, Sr. (ca. 1786-1842).
Adam Fizer, Jr. was born in Botetourt County, Virginia ca 1794 and served in the War of 1812, when he lived near Fincastle in Botetourt County, Virginia. He married Melinda Butts/Butt in 1816 in Botetourt County, Virginia.
By 1830, Adam Fizer Jr. and his brothers Henry and Samuel Fizer had moved from Botetourt County, Virginia to Mt. Sterling in Montgomery County, Kentucky. David Fizer also had moved there by 1830, after living for a period of time in Pulaski County, Kentucky. By 1840, Henry and David Fizer had moved their families to Saline County, Missouri while Adam Fizer, Jr. remained in Montgomery County, Kentucky. Adam Fizer, Jr. had moved his family to Saline County, Missouri by 1854 where he received 80 acres of land from the federal government for his service in the War of 1812. He obtained an additional land patent for 40 acres in 1854. Bureau of Land Management records show Adam Fizer and Adam B. Fizer with land patents in T51, R19 in Sections 20 and 21 and one in Section 8, dates from 1849 to 1856.
Adam Fizer Jr. likely died in Saline County in 1861 since there is a will for Adam Fizer, Jr. dated March 22, 1861, Saline County, Missouri Will Book B, pages 182-183. Another copy of the will was submitted to the court in 1866. Jacob Fizer was beneficiary. Some of the land Jacob Fizer held in 1876 was originally patented by his father.
The first names of Adam, David, and Jacob are repeated in many Fizer generations.

Bill Dahnke who is engaged in Fizer family research contributed some of the above information, particularly parentage and early residency in states further east.
(Note: Death certificate of son David B. Fizer said Jacob was born at Mount Sterling, Kentucky.)
