"Born in Albany in 1705 to silversmith Coenradt Ten Eyck and Gerritje Van Schaick Ten Eyck, he followed in his father's line of work. As a young man, he apprenticed to Charles Le Roux in New York City. He returned to Albany around 1736 where he practiced his trade as a smith - an example of his work is currently on display as part of the Albany Institute of History & Art's excellent exhibit, Masterworks - 225 Years of Collecting. He also served as constable and city firemaster and, eventually, as sheriff of Albany County. From 1748 to 1750, he served as Mayor.

In 1736, he married Catharina Cuyler. They had four children. Catharina died in 1790.

Jacob C. Ten Eyck was eighty-eight at the time of his death. He was buried in the Dutch Reformed Church's section of the municipal burial ground which closed in 1868 to allow the land to be redeveloped into Washington Park. While most graves were relocated to the Rural Cemetery's Church Grounds, Jacob C. Ten Eyck's was moved to this large plot in Section 60. Records indicate that Catharina was also moved here and her headstone is likely nearby, waiting to be cleared, too."
