From: "History of Pike County, Illinois" by Chas. C. Chapman & Co.(1880) pp.540-541: "Jacob Goldman is a native of Clark county, Ky., where he was born Oct. 15, 1816.When but 13 years of age he came to Pike county with his parents...He ...married twice, the first time to Bethlehem Wade, and the second time to Otelia Jaritz, who crossed the ocean in 1834...father of 12 children, of whom 8 are living, -- Josiah, Newton B., Ellen H., Hardin H., Emma J., Melvin, Elizabeth and Victoria."Earlier in the book (pp 434-435): "[Benjamin] Goldman was born Dce.[sic.]24, 1824, in Clark county, Ky., and is the son of Abraham and Susannah Goldman."[It would be a reasonable hypothesis that Jacob and Benjamin are brothers].Also, (same pages): "January 2, 1852 [Elizabeth A. Ellis] married Josiah Goldman and 8 of their 9 children are living...John, Millicent, Fannie, Hettie, Thomas, Jane, Ellen and James Monroe..."
