Some of his sons later became successful merchants in New York , where they founded the Jaburg Brothers company in 1885 , which supplied bakery supplies (from baking pans to shop fittings). Club Vegesack was founded in New York in 1874, as were many other German clubs on the east coast of America. The “Club Vegesack” existed until the First World War.

Jaburg learned the painting trade and worked as a painter journeyman with the painter Johann Heinrich Menken in Bremen. In 1840, he started his own business as a house painter and decorative painter in Vegesack. Around 1848 he began very successfully with portrait painting .

Some of them can be seen in the Museum Schloss Schönebeck in Bremen-Vegesack. In the city church of Vegesack it depends on “A.
