Although there is a big age difference between them, Aaron described Jacob as his brother in a letter to a newspaper in 1872 about the toll incident. They are also described as brothers in the census records.

Married (Aaron) – 1849 in Madeley, Shropshire to Ann Hill – born c. 1826 in Much Wenlock, Shropshire. Ann remarried in 1891 in Madeley, Shropshire to George Owen (tobacconist).

Neither Jacob nor Aaron had children to carry on their family name. Their only memorials are their gravestones and the Primitive Methodist Chapel foundation stone which is now preserved in the stonemason‘s yard at Blists Hill Victorian Village.
