Jacob Burnet

Jacob Burnet (February 22, 1770 - May 10, 1853) was an American jurist and statesman from Ohio.

He was born in Newark, New Jersey on February 22 1770, the son of William Burnet. He studied law, moved to the Northwest Territory and settled in Cincinnati in 1796. His brother David G. Burnet was one of the early politicians in the Republic of Texas.

Jacob Burnet was an associate justice on the Ohio Supreme Court from 1821 to 1828, and U.S. Senator from 1828 to 1831. His "Notes on the Early Settlement of the Northwest Territory" is a primary reference on the early Northwest.

He died in Cincinnati on May 10 1853, aged 83, and is buried in the Spring Grove Cemetery there.
