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.
