Jacob Jeoffry, born on Aug. 11, 1822, was the son of Jacob Henry, Jr. & Susanna (Krieger) Hiltzbeck, who lived their entire life in Stokes County, NC. His g-grandparents, Jurg Friedrich and Catherina (Bertschin) Hiltzbeck, came to Philadelphia from Rotterdam, Germany, in 1753 and eventually settled in Bethania, North Carolina. The name Hiltzbeck was later changed to Hilsabeck.

Jacob met Matilda Poindexter (born March 11, 1822), the daughter of Thomas Henderson & Elizabeth (Vest) Poindexter. They were married in Yakdin Co, NC on Feb. 14, 1846.

They had three daughters in NC before starting on their journey to MO. A son was born in TN before they arrived in Wright Co in 1858. Caroline's parents & the entire family were on the trip with them. One of her brothers was Thomas Henderson Poindexter, Jr.

When the Civil War started Caroline's father, moved to Camden Co,MO, and Thomas joined the Confederate army. In 1863 Jacob Hilsabeck joined the Union Army & served in Capt. A.N. Harris' Co. K. 11 Missouri Cavalry Volunteers. He was suffering with tuberculosis and complications of measles when he was discharged at the end of the War on July 27, 1865. It is thought that his brother-in-law, Thomas, may have been captured and sent to VA in a prisoner exchange. After the War Thomas lived in NC until his death in 1926.

In 1874 Jacob bought a farm in Dawson and dedicated part of their land to Friendship Cemetery. They built a log house, which was lived in by their son, Jacob, Jr., until it burned down in January 1943. Jacob Jr.'s daughter-in-law, Dollie, was unable to escape from the house and was burned to death. She was the wife of Jacob Jr.'s son, Herman.

Jacob died on March 23, 1878, and was buried in Friendship Cemetery. Caroline lived for 18 more years before dying on September 25, 1896, & was buried beside her beloved husband, Jacob.
