Henry Pember Smith. Afternoon in Monmouth County, NJ. |
The parents of Jacob Truax were Samuel Truax Sr. and Johanna Wilson. Jacob was their youngest son. Samuel married Johanna on 28 March 1747 in Monmouth County, New Jersey. They had at least the following children:
- Samuel Truax Jr.
- Sarah Truax
- Phoebe Truax
- Joseph Truax
- Philip Truax
- Benjamin Truax
- Jacob Truax
It appears that all of Jacob's brothers, and possibly his father Samuel, served in the Revolutionary War. Joseph, Benjamin and Philip died in 1776, very likely in battle.
