An 1883 Hardin Co., Iowa biography of Jacob states,
Immediately after marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Miller moved to Hardin county and located where they now reside, moving into a log cabin, 14 by 16, with a puncheon floor. At that time no family lived north on the river. They had to go to Cedar Falls for their milling, many times pounding their corn into meal for the family use. There was then plenty of game. Mr. Miller came to Iowa a poor man, with nothing but his hands and a good constitution. He went to work to make a home, and, by good management, has accumulated a fine property, and to-day is one of the well-to-do farmers of the county, having 280 acres of land, valued at \$40 per acre.
The same biography says that Jacob moved to Hardin Co. about 1850.
