John was born 27 Jan 1838 at Pike, Pike, Illinois, the third child of Fields B. Jacaway and Mary Ann Jones Jacaway. LDS Church records indicate that the family was living in Nauvoo, Illinois in 1839. John told his grandchildren of the Prophet Joseph Smith lifting him up on his big horse and giving him a ride.
At the time of so much missionary work going on in the church, Johns parents were sent to New Orleans, Louisiana where his father was made branch President. Fields and Mary Ann assisted LDS Imigrants coming in to the United States through New Orleans. After his fathers death they stayed in New Orleans for a while where his mother married James Bates. James also died and his mother married a 3rd time to Thomas Davies.
On 11 May 1852 they started from Kanesville, Iowa (present day Council Bluffs, Iowa) on the journey accross the plains in the James Jepson Co. They arrived in Salt Lake City 10 Sep 1852 then hurried on to Fillmore, Millard, Utah where his older sister Susannah Jacaway Black lived with her family.
Their first home in Fillmore was in the Fort, where homes were built with the fort forming the back wall. There was a space of about 12 to 14 feet wide between the home of Johns sister Susannah and the next home. Thomas Davies put a front of logs between these two homes and put logs and dirt on top for a roof. This is where they spent their first winter in Fillmore.
John married Eveline Boggs 20 Jul 1864. They lived in Washington, Washington, Utah where their seven children were born. John and Evelina were sealed in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah 13 Oct 1873.
10 Jun 1866 he served in the Indian Wars within the State of Utah. He was enrolled in Company_____
commanded by James C. Owens. He was 28 years of age and a resident of Fillmore, Millard, Utah. He participated in a march to Gravelly Ford and Salina Canyon in persuit of Indians. He served 35 days, and was honorably released 15 Jul 1866.
In history of Thomas Davies Jr, it states, "He and his brother John Franklin Jacaway, had some of the best race horses in the whole country".
After their children were all married they moved by covered wagon to Menan, Jefferson, Idaho to be near their daughter Susie, who was married to Joseph Howard. They came in a covered wagon with four horses. Their grandson, Frank Wilkins was living with them. Frank's mother, Mary Ann died when he was eight months old, and he had lived with them since.
They bought a home in Menan where he raised a truck garden. John was an honest, wiry, ambitious little man always busy doing something.
After Eveline died and Frank married, John went to live with his daughter Phebe Latitia Jacaway Wilkins (Fred W)in Hinkley, Utah for a few years.
He died 17 Oct 1928 at 343 Olbad Court, Salt Lake City at the home of his daughter Edith Stout where he had been staying the last couple of months.
