Notes for Jacob Jones
He is listed in the 1851 census in Salisbury, Westmorland County, origin German, age 67, suggesting a birth year of 1784. Also with his wife Hannah, son Jacob C. and grandson Lemuel J.84
He’s listed in the cemetery listings for 2nd Salisbury Baptist Church where he’s buried with his wife and his mother-in-law, Abigail Corey. Next plot over is son Jacob C. Jones.
The Second Salisbury Baptist Church was located at what is locally known as Humphreys' Corner, the earliest trading center of consequence in the westerly end of Salisbury Parish, Westmoreland County. When a way service was established there about 1850, it was designated as Head of Petitcodiac.
A Baptist Meetinghouse was built here in 1837 and was organized as the Second Salisbury Baptist Church in 1847. It continued as such until about 1882 or 1883, when it was taken down and the timbers used in the construction of a Baptist Church at Petitcodiac Village, and the name was changed to the Petitcodiac First Baptist Church.
The trading center of Humphreys' Corner ceased to exist as such soon after the European and North American Railway began to function in August, 1860, when they established a station at Petitcodiac, which soon became the business center of the locality.
Humphreys' Corner was about one and three quarters of a mile downstream from the present village of Petitcodiac.
The site of Humphreys' Corner was on the easterly side of land granted to David Blakeney, in 1802, and the westerly side was land granted to Robert Scott and Jacob Wortman, in 1813. The land on which the burial ground is located, was contributed by James A.C. Price, and then owner of the western half of the grant to Robert Scott and Jacob Wortman.
