Resided in Preston and Norwich, CT. In 1774, he was one of the orginial Wallenpaupack settlers from CT to remove to PA. This settlement had orginated from a tract of land surveyed 14 Oct 1751 "for the use of the propietaries of PA," and was called Wallenpaupack Manor. 21 Feb 1793, this manor was conveyed to Hon. James WILSON, who gave a mortgage to John PENN, the Elder, and John PENN, the younger, the vendors. In 1804 the mortgage was foreclosed, and Samuel SITGRAVES of Easton purchased the land in trust for the PENN heirs. All of the Wallenpaupack Settlement was of this manor, and the first valid titles obtained by these settlers were from the SITGRAVES. At the time Jacob and the other CT families had settled along Paupack Creek, none had legal claim to the land. They had surveyed and laid out carefully defined boundaries, which became fixed and are those by which the lots are known to this day They may well have thought, as there was some form of claim, that this was a part of the state of CT. In any case, they were not assessed by any PA authority until Wayne Co.(now Pike), was set off in 1798. The settlement was isolated, and in a well traveled Indian area, as it was used by the Indians to trace from Cochecton to the Wyoming Valley area, not a healthy place to be located as they discovered. Notified of the Battle of Wyoming in 1778, the settlement was evacuated to the safer shores of the Delaware River. They returned again in 1782, and Jacob Kimble (as he and his descendants have always used this spelling of this name), and his son Abel Kimble, built the first grist mill on Kimble's Brook. Jacob was a farmer and a lumberman. He and Esther had 13 children. .
