  • Notes 
    • It looks as though Esther had left David by 1900.
      She has two children in 1900 and 1903
      Margueretta Hogan Jacobs - father would appear to be Hogan
      William Patrick Jacobs - Indexed as both Jacobs and Hogan
      Esther marries William Hogan in 1911 after David Jacobs dies.

      However, a court case in 1898 implies that Amelia and James Jacobs were also not David's.
