General Notes: Husband - Joseph E. Jackson
He was born on the old Jackson homestead in Hanover township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He grew to manhood on his father's farm, and for a short time in the winter season attended the rate schools of the vicinity. The children were usually set to work on the farm at an early age, and he was no exception to that rule. After his marriage he located in Hanover township, along the headwaters of King's creek, where he erected a very substantial and commodious dwelling, also making numerous other improvements. Being overtaken by a disastrous fire, this residence was entirely consumed with all the contents. After the accident he removed to an adjoining farm, which he owned and afterward resided there. He began life with no capital, and became a leading farmer, owning over six hundred acres of good land. Even into his eighties he was able to do chores about the house and light farm work, in which he delighted to be employed. Politically he always supported the Democratic party, and in religion for over fifty years was a member of the M. E. Church.
