Descendant of Jacob Runyon

[Anthony Cuthbert]

Hello Ira,
My name Anthony Cuthbert and I am a descendant of Jacob Runyon born 1853 died 1894. Jacob was my great, great, great grandfather and he was a peace officer killed in the line of duty. I am very interested in Jacob since I am also a peace officer and handed down to me is a pocket watch that belonged to Jacob. On this pocket watch is a large scrape that was said to have come from the bullet that killed Jacob. I was wondering if there was any other information on Jacob that you could provide me. Thanks.
