This is all I know of Jacob:
Rachel Pearsey was born about 1805 in Ohio to Charles and Elizabeth (Lower) Pearsey. She married on December 21, 1826 in Wayne County, Indiana to Jacob Young, born October 22, 1790 in Pennsylvania. Jacob was a blacksmith in the town of Milton in Wayne County. It isn't known where they lived from 1824-49, but in 1850, the couple appears in the Rush County, Indiana census, living near the westside of the county seat of Rushville, not far from her brother William Pearsey.

Jacob Young died on January 14, 1860 near Rushville, being buried near daughters Louisa and Catharine in the Upper Graveyard north of town. The family was living in Union township of Rush County at this time. Between 1865-68, Rachel moved with her children to Cicero township of Tipton County, Indiana. Everyone in the family knew how to read and write. Rachel Young resided with her daughter Emily in Tipton, Indiana on June 1, 1870. On September 11, 1870, Rachel purchased two lots in the town of Tipton from her son William H. Young. She may have lived by herself there.

Rachel allegedly became of unsound mind as she was taken to court by her daughter Emilys husband, Kenyon Emehiser to determine whether she could manage her own affairs. On November 17, 1879, a Tipton county jury judged that she was of unsound mind. Rachel lived out her years with daughter Emily, being listed as "insane" in 1880. The funeral home of Young and Nichols in Tipton records that a coffin was registered for Mrs. Young on February 3, 1881. Rachel must have died that day or shortly beforehand. It is thought she was buried in the Old Fairview Cemetery in Tipton, where her daughter Emily was buried in 1880. No tombstone exists for Rachel however.

On June 25, 1881, her children James and Emily quit claimed their share of the two town lots owned by Rachel to their brother Jacob I. Young, who promply sold them to pay off debts.

This is all I know of Jacob Young. There's another one out there on IGI for the LDS site Familysearch.org born about the same time but a different birth date.
