Jakob married Katharina Friesen (16 March 1806, Kronsweide, Chortitza, South Russia - 23 August 1860, Insel Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia) on 16 August 1823 on Insel Chortitza, Chortitza, South Russia. Together they had 11 children, of which nine lived to adulthood. Jakob died on 5 October 1867 on Insel Chortitza, where he was buried.
Jakob was ordained as a minister of the Kronsweide Mennonite Church in 1825 and as elder in 1826, replacing Heinrich Janzen, who had died in 1824.
