General Notes: Husband - John Jackson
He was of Scotch-Irish descent.
Reared, as he was, in a pioneer's home, sharing the toils and privations incident to a residence in the wilderness, he was specially prepared to cope with nature in its wildest aspect of unleveled forest and uncultivated fields, and well did he fulfill his arduous portion in life. Starting without assistance in life, the farm owned by his father having passed from their possession, he first purchased seventy-five acres of uncultivated land, later possessed by his sons, S. M. and J. Y. Jackson, and boldly began the arduous task of carving out for himself a home in the wilderness under the many discouraging surroundings of the pioneer, but being possessed of indomitable pluck and energy, he became one of the most successful farmers of this section, and his small farm of seventy-five acres was gradually increased, until he became the possessor, at one time, of between 600 and 800 acres. He took an active part in educational affairs and was for many years a member of the district school board. Politically he affiliated with the whig party, then in a minority in the county. Although wedded to his chosen avocation, he took a deep interest in public affairs and was one of a company that built the first bridge across the Kiskiminetas, at Apollo. Although not a member of any church, he attended the United Presbyterian church, of which he was a liberal supporter. [HAC 1883, 242x]
