Nicholas, of Hingham, Norfolk, England, arrived in Boston with his wife Mary, son John, and 'daughter Mary' on 15 Jun 1633 on the ship Elizabeth Bonaventure from Yarmouth, England, and went first to Watertown, MA.7
Nicholas was admitted freeman 1636 in Watertown. He was a proprietor of a homestall there in 1642. Later moved to Hingham.11
Immigrant ancestor of the Jacobs, was one of the very few early planters who came to Bare Cove, now Hingham, MA, prior to the arrival of Rev. Peter Hobart and his company in 1636. According to the Cushing manuscript, “Nicolas Jacob with his wife and two children and their cosen Thomas Lincoln, weaver, came from Old Hingham (England) and settled in this Hingham, 1633." In September, 1635, he had a grant of a house lot at Hingham. He lived at Watertown for a short time before that, however, and owned a homestead which he sold before 1636. In June, 1636, he had granted to him six acre of planting ground upon Weariall Hill, and June 4, 1636, the first of the great lots next to the Weymouth river and a lot of six acres "at the head of the plain next to Edeard Gilman, his brother-in-law." He was selectman in 1636; one of the committee of nine to divide Conohasset in 1640; deputy to the general court in 1648-49; one of the three commissioners to be presented to the general court in 1656. He was honored with various other trusts by his townsmen. He kept an ordinary in Hingham in 1640.39
Was rep. 1648 and 1649. Usually the progeny of Nicholas reject the final s, that is, Jacob is preferred to Jacobs.2
“Nicholas, the ancestor of all the families bearing this surname in Hingham and vicinity, was one of the very few early planters who came to ‘Bare Cove’ prior to the arrival of Rev. Peter Hobart and his company in 1635. According to Cushing’s MS., ‘Nicholas Jacob with his wife and two children and their cosen Thomas Lincoln, weaver, came from Old Hingham and settled in this Hingham, 1633.’ In Sept.1635, he had a grant of a house-lot containing three acres on Town St., second from the way leading to Broad Cove, which is about where the homestead belonging to heirs of the late William O. Lincoln is located [in 1893]. Other lands were also granted to him at different dates for planting purposes. He was made freeman [3 Mar] 1635-36; was selectman in 1637; deputy to the General Court [10 May] 1648 and [2 May] 1649, and often engaged upon the business of the town. The christian name of his wife was Mary. She survived him, and m. secondly, March 10, 1G58-59, John Beal, widower. Nicholas d. 5 June, 1657, leaving an estate appraised at £393 8s. 6d. In his will of May 18, 1657, proved 25 July following, he gives to ‘wife Mary, the bed which she usually lyeth upon with all the furniture thereto oelooging to dispose of to whom she pleases;’ also £30 in money. To ‘my children, Joseph, Hannah, and Deborah £10 each, in addition to what they have already had, ... To eldest son John a double portion,’ ... and ‘to the rest of my children,’ viz.: Joseph Jacob, 'Mary Otis', Elizabeth Thaxter, Sarah Cushing, Hannah Jacob, and Deborah Jacob, equal shares, ‘and every one of them shall pay to their mother’ a stipulated sum, yearly. Witnesses, Edmund Pitts, Thomas Marsh, Matthew Hawke.”33
On 7 Oct 1640 ‘Nicho[las] Jacobs is allowed to keep an ordinary at Hingham.’ (MBCR 1:302)
Nicholas, along with three others, had the monopoly to build weirs at Lyford’s Liking to take alewives.83
It is sometimes said that Nicholas was the son of RIchard & Winifrede (Chambers) Jacob, with various birth years ranging from 1597 to 1605, also said to be baptized 14 Mar 1604/5 at Hingham, Norfolk.
Their children include: 4767 i. Capt. John Jacob (ca 1630-18 Sep 1693) '4768 ii. Mary Jacob (ca 1632-aft 12 Jul 1699)' 4769 iii. Elizabeth Jacob (ca 1634-24 Nov 1725) 4770 iv.
