abstract
  • Richard Taylor Jacob (March 13, 1825 – September 13, 1903) was an American attorney and politician, elected as 17th Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky (1863–4). Although a slaveholder, he was loyal to the Union during the American Civil War, raising the 9th Kentucky Cavalry for its defense. Due to his supporting the Democratic Party candidacy of George McClellan for the presidency in 1864, in addition to other differences, Kentucky Governor Thomas Bramlette ordered Jacob arrested by the Union commander, removed from office, and expelled from the state during the war, sending him to Richmond, Virginia. Jacob appealed to President Abraham Lincoln and was allowed to return to Kentucky. The lieutenant governorship remained vacant until the election of 1867. In his later years, Jacob became a judge, joined the Republican Party, and served as Louisville parks commissioner.
