	Born in Bavaria in 1837. There happens to be a town there named Uehlfeld. (Though I have no sure knowledge of a connection.) Immigrated to the US from Bavaria ca. 1858/59. Settled in Warrenton VA. Listed on the roster of 49th VA Inf (Extra Billy's Boys) from May 1861 to April 1865. According to the 49th VA web site he was wounded twice. At First Manassas, again at Fredericksburg. He is on list of paroled soldiers at Appomattox Courthouse. Jacob returned to Warrenton and had a store of some kind. Probably dry goods. In 1867 he married Mary Block from Strasbourg Alsace FRANCE. I believe this may have been an arranged marriage and that they had some kind of family connections, i.e. cousins of some sort. They had five children. My great-grandmother Fannie b. 1872, David b. 1874, Lena b. 1877, Samuel b. 1878, and Carrie b. 1880. All born in Warrenton VA. The property tax records in Richmond show a steady decline in his fortunes. In 1886 they traveled to St. Joseph MO to be with Mary's sister and brother-in-law, Charles and Emma (Block) Franke. As far as I can determine, Charles had a successful store there. On the way Jacob died from an Asthma attack on July 25, 1886 while in Chillicothe MO where is in the Mount Sinai Area of the Edgewood Cemetery. Mary was buried next to him in 1907.
