Jacob Dinsmore

JACOB DINSMORE.

Mr. D. was born in Kentucky. Came, with his brother and other members of the family, to Harrison Township, Boone County, in 1834, where he has since resided, just east of the town of New Brunswick. His wife died a few years ago, and he is now making his home with his son, William F. Dinsmore. The family are, in faith, Baptists, and most of them are members of that church, and have been ever since a society was formed in that part of the county. He is the father of William F., John T. and Pleasant J. Dinsmore, all prosperous farmers in Harrison Township, and where they are highly respected as honest, upright citizens. While canvassing for this work I was kindly entertained at their houses.
