In what sense?
I've heard that in the context of conversion, preference should be given to descendants of Jews who want to come back.

Kira,
Don't we use the term seed of Abraham rather than seed of Jacob in this context?

He is in an Artscroll Tehillim note and seems a bit out of the norm from the people usually mentioned. Wiki doesn't overtly say he was even Jewish.

He is the same one who wrote Sefer Zera Yaakov? I assume there is no English translation.

Are you sure that's the one Artscroll is quoting?
My guess it's this one: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/19133
