Jacob, Richard Taylor 1825-

Military officer; born in Oldham county, Ky., in 1825; went to California in 1846, where he aided Gen. John C. Fremont in conquering that section. In 1862 he recruited a regiment of 1,244 cavalry at Eminence, Ky.; in 1863 became lieutenant-governor of Kentucky. He was strongly opposed to President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, holding that it not only deprived those loyal citizens who owned slaves of their property, but it was unjust to the friends of the Union.
