From the burial index · awaiting a fuller life
Joshua Jacob was an infant. Born 1802, died 12 Jul 1802, a life of less than two years.
Theirs is one of 28 markers bearing the name Jacob in this ground: kin, or several families, gathered together.
Born in Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA.
A photograph of the marker survives; see it on Find a Grave ↗.
That is most of what the public record yet tells us. Joshua Jacob was a child of this town, not a name on a list, with a life still largely unrecovered. We will not invent the rest. If you are descended from Joshua's family, you can add a source, a correction, or a memory. Until then, their name is kept here, with respect.
The stone is still there.
