Jacob Schieffelin (sometimes referred to as Jacob Schieffelin IV) was born in Montreal, a son of Jacob Schieffelin and Hannah Lawrence. He relocated to Manhattan with his parents while an infant in 1794.
In 1812, he graduated from Columbia College as a Doctor of Medicine. He did not practice the profession, but instead he joined the pharmaceutical firm originally founded by his father, Jacob Schieffelin, and subsequently headed by his brother, Henry Hamilton Schieffelin, in Manhattan.
A colonel in the War of 1812, he served on garrison duty for three months (142nd New York Infantry Regiment, Brigade 3, Division 3).
Jacob Schieffelin opened a branch of the family's drug firm in Mexico City in 1824.
He settled with his wife and children in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in 1828, having purchased several thousand acres of land there in 1827. He was a pioneer settler of Hill's Creek, Charleston Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where he built a sawmill in 1830, and was for a time a farmer and a leading lumberman.
He applied for United States citizenship in 1840.
He retired to Tioga borough in 1845.
In January 1849, he sailed on the Morrison from New York with his sons Alfred and Edward and his brother-in-law Denison Lockwood via Cape Horn to San Francisco, arriving in September 1849.
"A man of sterling integrity and honesty."
