Joseph Jackson
 

Mr. Jackson, one of the early settlers of Jackson Twp., was born in Gilbert Co., NC, March 2, 1803; married to Martha Heady (who was born in KY, 12-23-1804) in 1825. Soon after they were married they came to Putman Co., IN where he resided until 1835, when they came to Boone Co., settling on the farm now owned by John Leck near Ward Postoffice. Mr. Jackson died March 1, 1876, Mrs. Jackson died January 20,1885, both buried at the old Union Cemetery in Jackson township. Mrs. Jackson was a member of the Christian Church. There were born to this family the following named children: Thomas H., Joseph, Elisha, Rebecca, Emsley, Sarah A., George, Lydia E., Mary E., Lewis M., Amanda M. Of this family, Joseph, Elisha, Amanda, Emsley and George live in Boone Co. Thomas H. resides in Kansas; Sarah A. resides in Hendricks Co., IN; Lydia E. resides in Cowley Co., Kansas. Mr. Elisha Jackson, third child of this early family, was married to Elizabeth J. Hendricks, resides in Jackson Township, where he owns a fine farm and is one of the substantial farmers of the county. I am indebted to him for favors received in gathering material for this work.
