Claudette Filiputti

Livingston was the best man that I have ever known. He grew up in a large family. His mother was Annie Mary Jacobs and she is the one who descends from George Jacobs who was hung in the 1600's as a witch. Annie grew up in Pennsylvania, her mother was Valeria Lawrence, (daughter of Peter S. Lawrence and Barbara Heagle), and her father was George H Jacobs, (son of Hettie Boyer and Henry Jacobs), all buried in Roxborough behind a diner. I kid you not. She married George Tyler Jacobs. He was born to Catherine Anne Harkins, who was daughter of Amy Hadley, (dgtr. of Margaret and Joseph). His father George Jacobs and Catherine Harkins were from Pennsylvania. How they met and married I have yet to find out. They purchased a home in Elwood, Atlantic County, New Jersey. They had Isabella Sidney Jacobs, who married James A. Miller, and they had 2 sons and a daughter who died in infancy. They had Kathryn Valeria who married Edwin Klingenberg and they have a lot of children. They had a son, George H. Jacobs, who had a son as well. They had a daughter Eva, who passed away very young from TB, another daughter Anna Beatrice who married a man with the last name of Hawke, and they had children, then my grandfather, Livingston who married Sophia Marie Brady, daughter of Silas F. Brady and Sophia Allman Goon. The Brady's are descendants of Hugh and Hannah Brady, known as the Pioneers, and we are direct descendants from their son Samuel, a Revolutionary War veteran. The couple has a baby right after my grandfather who is buried in the Elwood Cemetery. She was a premature little girl and they called her Baby Dolly, and they had a daughter, Daisy May who married George Meade, and they had 3 sons, (1 died early) and 3 daughters, and the last child was a son, Lawrence Venice Jacobs who never married. They were hardworking and honest people. My grandfather was very involved in his church. He donated the money to build the larger section of the church. He was a patient man. I adored the ground that he walked on. He and my grandmother met in school. My grandfather would ride his bicycle to Devonshire not very far from this birth home, and ride my grandmother to school on the handlebars of his bike. They married in the early 1920's and bought a home about 2 blocks away from my grandfather's family home and another 3 or 4 from my grandmother's family home. They had 3 daughters that died, Florence, Delores, and Doris. They had 2 sons, Kenneth Livingston and George Henry and 3 more daughters, Irene, Ruth and Sophia. My mother was the youngest girl. Their youngest child was George Henry Jacobs. Born on her maternal grandmother's birthday, my mother was also named Sophia. My grandmother went by the name of Marie. It was rather French and they seemed to like being French. Her sisters all had very French names as well, Claire, Catherine and my great aunt Olive. She was something. I'll save that for another day. That is all I have. I do know that my grandfather was a house painter and he traded things during the depression, and he also rented rooms during the depression. Their oldest son, Kenny was killed on the train tracks a few houses from their home. That really broke them. It was very sad.
