Jacob Chappuzeau (Russian: Яков Шапизо) was a naval officer in the Russian Fleet, where he was one of three captains decorated for their part in the Battle of Ösel Island. He rose to be commander of the Russian naval base at Reval (now Tallinn). He was a grandson of the author and playwright Samuel Chappuzeau, but his birth year is not known, though it was probably between 1687 and 1689. Nothing is known of his early life, but it is most likely that he was born in London where his father Laurent Chappuzeau lived from 1684 to 1689. Laurent was married (twice) at St James Duke's Place during this period. We first hear of Jacob in Russian documents from 1716 which state that he was transferred from the British Navy to the Russian Fleet, at George I of Great Britain's request, as Captain 3rd Class. It is not clear whether he was regarded as French (like his father) or English. He is referred to as both in different documents.On the Tsar's birthday in 1719, he and two other captains captured three Swedish vessels in what was the Russian fleet's first successful battle. For this, he was awarded a gold medal by the Tsar, and promoted to Captain, 2nd class. Jacob married a noblewoman, , in St Petersburg,and had 10 children. That he was held in high regard is proven by the fact that the godfather of one of his daughters was Count Fyodor Apraksin, Admiral and member of the Russian Supreme Privy Council. His eldest son, Alexander Chappuzeau (1720-1755), was aide de camp to Count Jean Armand de L'Estocq, who was involved in 1741 in putting Elisabeth of Russia on the throne. Jacob died in Reval in 1734.

In 1753 he helped his father in the construction of Ft. Bowman (aka Harmony Hall) near present day Strasburg, Virginia. Four of his younger brothers, Col. John (aka Johannes) (John Bowman (pioneer)), Col. Abraham, Maj. Joseph and Capt. Isaac Bowman were excellent horsemen and later known in John Wayland's book as the "Four Centaurs of Cedar Creek", and all of whom were among the earliest pioneers to settle in Kentucky and serve as prominent officers in the Continental Army. While his younger brothers were in Kentucky, Jacob Bowman and brother-in-law George Wright had earlier removed to the old 96th District in the Province of South Carolina where he owned a grist mill and trading post on the Reedy River. He was also the brother-in-law of frontiersmen Isaac Ruddell, Lorentz Stephens, Peter Deyerle, Henry Richardson, George Brinker and the aforementioned George Wright. A future great-grandson, Abram Hite Bowman. in 1919 would found Kentucky's first airport, Bowman Field, which is the oldest continually operating airport in North America. His grandnephew, Col. Abraham's grandson John Bryan Bowman, founded the University of Kentucky and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky.

Jacob C. Bogart (c. 1820–?) was a ship captain and American Democratic politician from San Diego, California. Jacob Bogart was born c. 1820 in New Jersey. Captain J. C. Bogart first visited San Diego in 1834 on the ship Black Warrior. He then served as an agent for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company at La Playa area of San Diego. He says of his first visit: In 1834 it was good to see the hills about San Diego. Wild oats grew upon them to a height which reached above the head of a man on horseback. Cattle were abundant and rolling in fat. Whenever any of the crew of the whaler Black Warrior wished to use a horse, the animal was furnished by the native Californians for a whole day for a dollar. It made no difference if the rider pressed the horse to death, so he packed the saddle back. Horses were too plentiful to be a matter of any consequence. After a steady stream of people started to travel to San Francisco from Panama during the California Gold Rush, a coaling station was set up in San Diego. Bogart was stationed in San Diego where he was in charge of a coak hulk Clarissa Andrews that was anchored in San Diego Bay.Lt. George Derby of the U.S. Topographical Engineers reported that in 1853 he saw "two crazy old hulks riding at anchor", one of them the Clarissa Andrews, filled with coal for the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., "wherein dwells Captain Bogart, like a second Robinson Crusoe". In 1852 Bogart planted a field of barley near La Playa, but the grain never ripened as the antelopes (which were in San Diego back then) and jack rabbits destroyed it all. After settling in San Diego for a few years, Bogart became active in politics.Bogart was elected to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, serving during 1858–1861.Bogart was appointed President for the San Diego city Board of Trustees (informally called "Mayor") during 1859–1860.Bogart was elected State Senator (Democratic) serving during 1862–1863.

He was celebrated for drawing townscapes and landscapes with realistically rendered persons and animals, his works having a distinct originality, and being marked by a poetical rendering of the features of nature, as well as by careful manipulation. He also created a good feeling of depth in his work. They are often suggestive of seventeenth-century artists such as Adriaan van de Velde and of Berchem, and are highly valued.

He was a priest in several parishes of the Diocese of Mpwapwa, being also Principal of St. Philip's Theological College, in Kongwa, from 2003 to 2005. He was consecrated Co-Adjutor Bishop of the Diocese of Mpwapwa in 2005, becoming diocesan bishop in 2007 upon the retirement of Simon Chiwanga. He was the unexpected winner at the election of the archbishop and primate of the Anglican Church of Tanzania, against Valentino Mokiwa, that took place on 21 February 2013 at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit in Dodoma, by three votes. The validity of his election was disputed by Mokiwa, who filed a lawsuit on 27 February 2013, with charges of several irregularities and the alleged use of the influence of money from the American Episcopal Church, who wished to create divisions upon an Anglican province in Africa. Chimeledya supporters strongly denied these charges and the election was approved by all the 25 bishops of the Anglican Church of Tanzania, with two absent in South Africa. Chimeledya attended GAFCON meeting, held in Jerusalem, on 21-26 June 2008. Concerning his attitude towards Anglican realignment, Bishop Martyn Minns of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America stated in April 2013 that he "has already expressed his strong support for GAFCON." However, Chimeledya failed to attend GAFCON II, in Nairobi, Kenya, held from 21 to 26 October 2013. Chimeledya moved away from GAFCON for a while but decided to rejoin it, after the ACT House of Bishops meeting in Dodoma, on 12-13 April 2016. He attended GAFCON III, on 17-22 June 2018.

Jacob Brock (July 5, 1810 – September 22, 1876) was a prominent steamboat captain and a pioneer in the early establishment of Enterprise, Florida.

Jacob Cansino (Cancino) (died September 19, 1666) was "Vassal of his Catholic Majesty and interpreter of languages in the places of Oran" (as he styled himself). (Oran was a Spanish possession at the time, with the right of residency for Jews). Cansino was the fifth in succession of the Cansino family to hold the office of royal interpreter. Upon the death of his brother Aaron in 1633, the office was given by King Philip IV of Spain to Yahob Caportas (whom Graetz identifies with Jacob Sasportas), a member of an influential Jewish family that rivaled the Cansinos. Thereupon Jacob Cansino came to Madrid, petitioned the king for the office in consideration of the services rendered by his family to the government, and obtained the appointment in 1636, with a salary of 25 scudi per month. As a man of letters Jacob Cansino is known for his translation into Castilian of a Hebrew book by Moses Almosnino, under the title Extremas y Grandenzas de Constantinopla, published at Madrid by Francisco Martinez, 1638. The preface includes an extract from the book of the royal secretary, Augustus Maldonatus, enumerating the various offices held by members of the Cansino family, and a letter from King Philip IV in appreciation of their services. Cansino made other trips to Madrid. By 1623 he had secured permission to live as a Jew in Madrid, under the protection of the Count-Duke of Olivares, and with access to the royal palace. He dedicated a book to Olivares. With the fall of the Count from favor in 1646, Cansino was imprisoned, but later released. In 1656 he loaned the Crown 800,000 ducats. In a letter of November 19, 1643 Fray Juan Ponce, a former Holy Office commissioner in Oran, warned the Suprema of the Inquisition of the pending arrival of several Jews from Oran. One of these was Jacob Cansino. Ponce described him as a "powerful magician" who could mix herbs and powders that subjugated others to his will even if they had only the slightest contact with him. Ponce claimed that Cansino was bringing his potions with him, as well as some anti-Catholic propaganda. The Suprema ordered the Valencia council to expel any of these Jewish travelers who landed without specific royal permission. Jacob Cansino excited the enmity of the Marquis de Los Veles, governor of Oran, who wished to give the office he held to the husband of one of his favorites. Jacob was too firmly established in his position, however, and remained in office until his death in 1666. In 1668 the Jews were expelled from Oran at the instigation of the governor.

Jacob Brønnum Scavenius Estrup, (16 April 1825 – 24 December 1913), was a Danish politician, member of the Højre party. He was Interior Minister from 1865 to 1869 in the Cabinet of Frijs and Council President as well as Finance Minister from 1875 to 1894 as the leader of the Estrup Cabinet. With 23 years he is the longest sitting Danish minister ever. From a Danish historical perspective, he is perhaps most famous (or infamous) for the so-called "Provisorietiden" (the Provisional Time) 1885-1894. After a huge defeat in the 1884 Folketinget parliamentary election, in which the Højre party only gained 19 out of 102 seats, he simply refused to resign as Head of Government. (The title "konseilspresident" has later been changed to "statsminister" but both titles are equivalent to Prime Minister) He then wasn't able to get parliamentary support for the imperative annual Financial Laws, he instead managed to bring about King Christian IX's support for Provisional Financial Laws. This included support from the so-called Landstinget as well. The Landstinget was a smaller assembly of politicians, of which half of its members were chosen by the Monarch. A reason to why the Monarch agreed to nine such annual provisional laws, the King and Estrup both believed in the building of the Copenhagen defense wall, at the time known as "Vestencienten".

Jacob Bromwell House (Wyoming, Ohio)

The Jacob C. Spores House was a house located between south of Coburg and north of Eugene, Oregon, formerly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was removed from the register on August 1, 2001. The classical revival house underwent an "exceptional" restoration in 1975, but a September 1996 fire "destroyed most, if not all, of the historical value of the house". By 1998 the owners were again restoring the house, but according to the Oregon State Historic Preservation office, as of 2013 the house has been demolished. Jacob Spores was an early settler of the Coburg area, who started the first ferry across the McKenzie River at the site. The house was thought to be the oldest in Lane County.
