    • PFP obituary read: Jacob McMichael, fifth son of James, married
      Lavinia, daughter of Simon Mabee, and settled on Lot 13, 5th
      concession of Townsend. This latter-day pioneer proved himself
      a worthy brother of Richard McMichael, and much that has been
      written of the latter will apply to Jacob as well. He was
      upright and honorable in all the busy activities of his life,
      and he left a record behind him of which his children may
      proudly boast. He was a model farmer and figured prominently in
      the various agricultural societies. For many years he
      officiated as deacon in the old Boston Baptist church. He died
      at a ripe old age, leaving ten sons--Simon, Lafayette, James,
      David, Aaron, Hezekiah , Jacob, Homer, Arkell and Orvell; and
      two daughters--Abigail and Mary. Of this family three are
      doctors in New York City, one is a doctor in Chicago, one a
      Baptist preacher in New York State, and one is an artist and
      another a merchant in the city of Buffalo.
