Notes |
- Some histories ascribe Jacob to serving as Assistant Secretary to Benjamin Franklin and George Ross (both signers of the Declaration of Independence) during the Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention of July, 1776 (immediately after the signing of the Declaration).
This was, however, not this Jacob son of Mattheiu, who was living in New Jersey at the time. It is more likely that the Jacob who served on the Convention was the son of John Garrigues, who was this Jacob's brother. In other words, the Jacob who sat with Benjamin Franklin at the Convention was this Jacob's nephew.
