Jacob Shall Golladay
Son of Isaac Golladay and Elizabeth Shall of Lebanon, Tennessee
U.S. Congressman
 

Jacob was active in Kentucky state politics before the Civil War. He was member of the State Legislature in 1850, 1851, and 1853 as the representative from Logan County. He was a State Senator from 1853 until 1855. Jacob delivered an obituary address on the death of Henry Clay in the General Assembly of the Senate and House of Representatives of Kentucky on 08 Feb 1854.

After the Civil War in 1867, Jacob was elected to the Fortieth Congress to fill the vacancy after the death of Judge Elijah Hise. He was re-elected to the Forty-first Congress and served until February 28, 1870, when he resigned. He then practiced law in Allensville and Russellville.

The location of Jacob's farm was north of Keysburg. The "Atlas of Logan County, Kentucky" (1877) shows the Golliday (sic) farm as just south of Allensville & Mason Mill Road and on the east side of the Russellville and Keysburg Road. These roads apparently have been renamed. Allensville & Mason Mill Road is now called the James Rose Road. Further work is needed to determine to the current name of the Russellville and Keysburg Road.
