Personal history
Growing up in Longhill was never truly enough for Jake, but even as he grew up, he couldn't stomach the idea of leaving his family. At age 16 his older sister married, but she remained his closest friend. His parents became ill when he was 18 and passed away soon after. Jake felt alone in the world despite a town full of friends.
Following his parents death he sold most of the family farm, saving one corner by the creek for himself and splitting the money between he and his sister. With no farm left to work he signed on as the town's youngest deputy. He did his job well and was more just than most of the other deputies, quickly becoming a favorite of Sherriff Dixon.
He remained loyal to Dixon until Annie and her family were killed by the Denson brothers. After taking on the remaining Denson brother, Tommy, as a sort of ward, he left Longhill with The Jedson Outfit bound for Claystown.
