• Notes

  Jacob lived in Boston and was planning to build a railroad from Joplin, MO to Maysville, AR then to Bentonville, AR, and had obtained all the rights-of-way, but died before actual construction began. The railroad was eventually built but followed a different route than Sleeper's original plan. [3]
