Our Story, Jacobus Taiest was born in Bavaria Germany, in 1843. He arrived in the new world in 1867, he would of come earlier but didn't want to get caught up in the American Civil War as he hated such things. He quickly left the east coast and settled in a part of Kentucky that was very remote and started his farm. When they came to take the 1870 census he chased off the census taker with a pitch fork. The 1870 census shows his son Jacob Jr was born in 1869. And by the 1890 census Jacob Jr was now mentioned as the owner of the farm and the family name had been changed to Test.
