From the Jackson Ledger: "Stephen, was a shrewd and fearless Indian fighter. At the early age of 17 he was on his way to join his father with Washington's forces. He was present at the battle of Yorktown and wounded before he was 18 years old. He said he fought for his country and refused to apply for a pension for it. He was a Captain of a Company-although never commissioned (see below*). He did valuable service under Washington as a scout, making several trips to the Ohio River."
"Stephen saw service in the War of 1812."
"He only had a plain education but was noted for his power of deciding quickly and filling to the letter all his promises. He had many encounters with and killed several Indians. Several of the encounters are still spoken of by relatives in the different branches of the family. He generally wore a hunting shirt - which was about the same as the Norfolk blouse of the present day (1887) except they were made by the house-wife from goods now called lindsey."*Another descendant has emailed me that his father has Stephen's commission signed by James Monroe, then The Govenor of Virginia, dated 1801, in his possession; so he did have an official commission despite what the above Ledger says. This commission was not issured during the Revolution, but was issued in 1807. See the Commission on the Pictures page in the Table on Contents.
From Colonial Ancestors, pg 5: "Edward (Stephen's father) and Stephen are both buried on the home farm in the family plot about one mile south of Mount Clare, Harrison County, WV." By 1975 his tombstone had been removed from the farm because the land had been sold and the current owner had not kept the graves in good repair. The stone was set up again at the Salem 7 Day Baptist Church cemetery. For a sketch of the family burial plot, see Conflicting Data page, Chapter Three.
See also the Notes for his father Edward Jackson.
Ledger: She was a kind, good woman and small in stature. She was once captured by the Indians in New Jersey. The site of Pomeroy, Ohio should have descended to her heirs. Elizabeth's brother settled the city of Pomeroy, OH.
From Bill White, She died in April 1852, at her daughter-in-law's home in Jane Lew, WV. She had no long illness and she and her husband's remains rest on a farm in Harrison Co., which was once owned by Mrs Ida Bassel Fleming.

770. Jemima Jackson-47
Jackson Ledger says "Edward Jackson...removed with Stephen, Samuel and Jemima to Fayette Co. PA and thence to Harrison Co, VA" "...his (Edward's) sister Elizabeth (Tomkins) and brother William and cousins.
The following is a quotation from the Gilmer County (WV) History: "After the close of the war, Edward (Jackson) and his family left PA and moved to Harrison County, VA, where they settled on Brown's Creek in 1792. The same year, Jemima (Jackson) married John Arnold (1770-1811), son of James Arnold and Sarah and grandson of Isaac Arnold (1708-1770) and Sarah Morton c1712. Jemima was 25 years old and John was 22 years old. Their eight children were George, Permelia, Elizabeth, Kiturrah, Benjamin, James J., 1797, Isaac 1808, Mary 1810. Isaac Arnold is buried in Meadows Cemetery near Normantown WV."
Notes from Don Norman's files: Amon Bohannon Rice a son of Henry and Margaret (Bohannon) Rice, was born about 1746 and died in Harrison County, (W)VA about 1825. He first married Anny Edwards. Anny was a daughter of John and Barbary Edwards. In 1805, Amon and Anny bought 1,250 acres of land in Harrison County, VA for $875.00. Anny apparently died between 1805 and 1809.
Children of Amon and Anny:
1. Abner who married Mary Webb Jan 5, 1809
2. Bohannon who married Elizabeth Webb Sep 7, 1809
3. Hezekiah
4. Sarah who married John Vincent
5. Elizabeth who married James Thomson Jan 14, 1810In 1809 Amon deeded all his land to his two sons, Hezekiah and Bohannon Rice. In 1812, Amon was granted a license to keep an ordinary (tavern) in Clarksburg, Harrison County. After Amon's death, Jemima married John Smith in 1827.
End of Don Norman's notes.Linn Baiker contributed the following abstract of his Will:

771. William Jackson-109
Virginia Marriages, 1740-1850
Groom Name: William Jackson
Bride Name: Hannah Bennett
Marriage Date: 12 Apr 1798
County: Harrison
State: VirginiaQuotes from the Jackson Ledger: "Very little is known of William Jackson and his children except that they lived on Sycamore in Harrison County until they determined to go West. They started to the Little Miami Valley, Ohio in the 1800 but since that (time) nothing has been learned. Recent investigation at Winchester, KY finds a Romulus and W. D. Jackson who trace to their father Elias and Grandfather William Jackson which is the nearest trace yet obtained."
"We have good reason to believe that part of the fly leaf in the Bible from which other names were gotten contained possibly the names of other children. There was possibly a William and Jacob but it requires better evidence to positively substantiate."
Quote from Roy B. Cook, 1928: "William Jackson, son of Edward W. Jackson, emigrated to Ohio in 1828, and settled near Wesley Chapel, M.E. church in Salem (now Harlan) Township, Warren County, Ohio, about two miles from Blanchester, Ohio, on State Route #28."
William and his wife, Hannah, are also mentioned in Hardesty's Historical Hand-Atlas as migrating to Warren County, Ohio in 1828; and being the parents of Benjamin B. Jackson of Paulding Co, OH.
From a descendant of Wm. & Hannah: "1828 was the year that most of the family immigrated to the Virginia Military District in southern Ohio. This land was made available to Revolutionary and War of 1812 veterans and their families."
From Family Records compiled by Matella Prickett Doughman, published 1935: "William Jackson served in the War of 1812."
See the Research article on Hannah (Bennett) Jackson by Mr. Jeff Carr, on the Conflicting Data Page. See also note below.
Obit: Mrs. Hannah Jackson
Mrs. Hannah, wife of William Jackson and mother of Rev. W. B. Jackson, of the Cincinnati conference, died at the residence of her son, Jacob Jackson, in Warren County O., February 20, 1855, in the seventy-sixth year of her age. Her maiden name was Bennett; her mother was an Ellsworth, daughter of Moses Ellsworth, spoken of in the "Life of James Quinn," and called "the pious patriarch," of an "extensive pious and amiable family." She was born in Pendleton county, Va, and her mother died when she was an infant. She was taken and raised by her grandparents, Harrison County, Va, where she was united in marriage with the husband who still survives. Hence she had the advantage of the pious instructions of her grandfather and mother Ellsworth and was early taught the precepts of the Gospel of Christ. She sought salvation in the means of grace, and powerfully converted to God, while engaged in secret prayer. She then labored for the good of others and soon her husband was brought up to knowledge of the truth, and she with her husband united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was faithful while she lived. She was zealous, patient and persevering in her Christian duties; she loved all the means of grace, especially those of secret prayer, love-feast, and class meetings, and as long as health permitted she was found in the house of God; she was one of those quiet Christians who never shouted, yet took great delight and found much consolation in singing the songs of Zion-there was great melody in her voice; she had many of our best hymns and sweetest spiritual songs committed to memory and could always find something appropriate to sing to suit every condition of the Christian in this life. One of those sweet spiritual songs that she used to sing frequently, while tears would bedew her cheeks, that seemed to express the true sentiments of her heart, is in part as follows:
"Come and taste along with me, The weary pilgrim's consolation, Boundless mercy, full and free, The earnest of complete salvation. Joy and peace in Christ I find, My heart to him is all resigned; The fullness of his power I prove, And all my soul dissolves in love, Jesus is the pilgrim's portion, Love is boundless like the ocean.
When the world or flesh would rise, And strive to draw me from my Savior; Strangers slight or friends despise, I then more highly prize his favor. Friends believe me when I tell, If Christ is present all is well, The world and flesh in rain arise. I all their efforts can despise. In the world I've tribulation But in Christ sweet consolation.
When I'm in the house of prayer, I find him in the congregation; Music sweet unto my ear, Is the glad sound of free salvation. When I join to sing his praise, My heart in holy rapture raise; I view Immanuel's land afar, And shout and wish my spirit there; Glory, honor, and salvation, What I feel is past expression."She loved and read the Bible much, and was familiar with its teachings. She was sound in Methodist theory. She taught her children, aided by her husband, both by precept and example, to seek a home in heaven, and she labored not in vain. She lived to see all her children happily converted to God, but one. She has seven children living, and four have passed into the spirit land. Her death was that of the righteous. May God bless and save all her posterity in heaven is my prayer.
J. BOTKIN -------------------------------The History of Warren County Ohio, Part VI Biographical Sketches - Salem Township pg 1024 gives a different date and place of birth for Hannah. In the bio of Wm. Ireland, it menions the parents of Jemima Jackson, Wm's wife. It says "Hannah Bennett, a native of Maryland, born Dec. 25, 1779."
Matella Prickett Doughman states in her 1935 publication "The descendants of William Jackson and Hannah Bennett are eligible to D.A.R. membership through Moses Ellsworth. . . It is stated that Mary Hinckle or Hinkle, wife of Moses Ellsworth, has Revolutionary War ancestor, in her father. Mrs. Edythe H. Whitacre, London (Ohio) has proofs."

William and Lizzie had no children.
1482. Andrew Jackson-2287
Note fr Jerry Gross: Andrew and Sarah had no children of their own; but they reared Jemima and Sarah Ellen, youngest daughters of Andrew's brother, Elias and Hannah Jackson.
1850 Warren Co, OH Census Andrew's occupation was farmer. Jemima, Elias' daughter was living with Andrew and Sarah. At the time of the Census Sarah Ellen was living with or visiting with her grandparents, William & Hannah.
1870 Wayne, Clermont Co, OH Census Andrew's occupation was a farmer. Jemima and Sarah Ellen are not listed with Andrew, but Andrew, age 16, was living with him. Young Andrew was a nephew, recently orphaned, son of Andrew's brother Stephen.
Andrew's occupation on the 1880 census was keeping Hotel.

EDENTON CHRISTIAN UNION CHURCH
by Evelyn Matiin
The Christian Union Church of Edenton was organized in July of 1864. The church was situated adjacent to the Masonic Hall, and was the first Christian Union Church built in the State of Ohio. Members of Edenton Lodge #332 who were prominent in the organization and served as Elders, Trustees and other officers of the Church were: Andrew Jackson, James Crosson, Silas Muchmore, John Prickett, J. H. Prickett, Hiram Prickett, M. S. Pickiehiemer, W. McKinney, William Palmer and Theodore Little. It is thought the Church ceased to have services in the 1920's, and was torn down in 1939.In a listing of early church members is Sarah Ross Jackson w/o Andrew Jackson, and Andrew Jackson. The church first met in 1861 and was formally organized in 1864.
Contained in an email from Joe Jackson Nov 2010: "While visiting the Wesley Cemetery, I noticed the Masonic symbol on my Great grandparents' monument. Later in the nearby villiage of Edenton, I noticed a Masonic Lodge #332. I stopped to see if they might have any information on the Jacksons. They were busy sprucing up the place for their 150 year anniversary celebration. One of them showed me around and hanging on the wall were photos of the founding members. One of the photos was of Granville Jackson, my great uncle, and another was of Andrew, Granville's first cousin. Andrew was the first master of the lodge."
See Notes for her husband, Andrew Jackson.
772. Samuel M. Jackson-51
Original mention was made of Samuel and 8 of his children in the Jackson Ledger from HCPD. He was also found in Lebanon Twnsp, Meigs County, OH where he died intestate. His heirs were listed in suit in Chancery Court and in a deed record per email from Andrea Dietze. These records listed additional children as heirs.
ALT birthdate 3 Jan 1783 from 'draagor'.
Samuel M. Jackson is listed among the Names of Heads of Families of Lebanon Twp, Meigs County, Ohio in 1820. Also on that list is Samuel's sister Lucinda (Jackson) Flesher and his brother-in-law John Flesher who married Sarah Jackson, (Lucinda's husband William Flesher had died). Samuel's son-in-law David Sleeth was also on that list. "Pioneer History of Meigs County" http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohmeigs/larkin/html/018_text.html
Stephen Alonzo Jackson's copy of the Jackson Ledger says Samuel died in Ravenswood, (W)VA, just across the river from Meigs County, OH where the Chancery Court suit says he lived. There was a lot of going back and forth across the river at the point there at Ravenswood. Stephen's record also says Samuel's wife's name was Ellen Smith.

1485. Catherine Jackson-1709
Her birth date was assumed from her being "of lawful age" when she married in 1821. Margie Lane Barnett has posted an image of her marriage record where John Brown, J.P. says that he married Catherine Jackson and David Sleith on 8 March 1821 in Meigs Co., Ohio. Mrs. Barnett does not say where this record was found. The handwriting is very legible.
Catherine was not listed with her husband and children in the 1830 Meigs Co, OH, Census.
David Sleeth was found 2 households away from his wife's brother, Daniel Jackson, on the 1830 Census for Meigs Co, OH. David had 4 children living in the home, but Catherine, his wife, was not listed.
1488. Edward Jackson-747
Ledger: "Edward went to Red River and West with his brother George Jackson and nothing more is known of them."
The Red River forms the boundry between Texas and Oklahoma, except for the panhandle area. So the brothers Edward and George probably went to Texas.
Stephen Alonzo Jackson's record says "George & Edward - both died on Red River."
1492. Hezekiah Jackson-77
Hezekiah and his wife are both between 20 & 30 in the 1840 Census of Jackson Co, VA. They had no children at that time. So far, I have not found them on the 1850 Census.
The Jackson Ledger says they had no children.
1494. George Jackson-76
Ledger: "Edward went to Red River and West with his brother George Jackson and nothing more is known of them."
The Red River forms the boundry between Texas and Oklahoma, except for the panhandle area. So the brothers Edward and George probably went to Texas.
Stephen Alonzo Jackson's record says "George & Edward - both died on Red River."
773. Sarah 'Sallie' Jackson-303
Sarah's father Edward, mentioned her in his will in 1807 as 'Sarah Fletcher". An analysis of the story of two Sarahs is in the Conflicting Data section. This Sarah was not the same Abigail that married Jonathan Hughes. Please read the conflicting data page; it has long been thought that Abigail Jackson Hughes was this Sarah, dau of Edward. The data on the Conflicting Data page proves otherwise. The place and data of her death is taken from Flesher family records by Larry Flesher. See source web site.
Sarah's sister, Lucinda, married John Flesher's brother, William. William's son Elias and his family was found on the 1850 Salem, Warren Co, OH Census. Sarah's sister, Lucinda, was living with them. The family name was spelled Fletcher at that time. This helps me accept that Sarah's name in her father's Will was spelled Fletcher, but on her marriage license was spelled Flesher. An image and transcription of Sarah and John's marriage license is on this site in the section "Marriage Bonds & Certificates". It was necessary to find this marriage certificate and compare her father's signature on this and on his Will to help prove that this Sarah was indeed Edward's daughter.
Sarah's husband John Flesher is listed among the Names of Heads of Families of Lebanon Twp, Meigs County, Ohio in 1820. Also on that list is Sarah's brother Samuel M. Jackson and her sister Lucinda Jackson Flesher (Lucinda's husband William Flesher had died.) and Samuel's son-in-law David Sleeth. "Pioneer History of Meigs County"

She is found at Find-a-Grave website as Pheby Flesher, unknown birth, d/o/d 17 Mar 1860, age 56yr1m2d, d/o J. S. There is no gravestone photo.
1502. Jacob Flesher-2586
Jacob (single) was found in the 1850 Iroquois Co, IL census living with his parents, sister Phoebe and brother William.
He was found again (single) in the 1870 Iroquois Co, IL census living next door to his brother William.
774. Lucinda "Lucy" Jackson-304
From Jackson Ledger @ HCPD: "It is believed Lucy is the dau of Edward Jackson and Martha Miller. Lucy married Flesher....We have good reason to believe that part of the fly leaf in the Bible from which other names were gotten contained possibly the names of other children. We think it possible there was a Lucy who married a Flesher and Sallie who may have married a Flesher or Hughes or she may have been twice married. There is a family of Fleshers who claim to trace to a Jackson woman related to Edward Jackson, they think a daughter of Edward."
Gilmer County History says her parents moved to Harrison County, VA in 1792.
Lucinda Flesher is listed among the Names of Heads of Families of Lebanon Twp, Meigs County, Ohio in 1820. Also on that list is Lucinda's brother Samuel M. Jackson and her brother-in-law John Flesher who married Sarah Jackson and Samuel's son-in-law, David Sleeth. (Lucinda's husband William Flesher had died.) "Pioneer History of Meigs County"
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohmeigs/larkin/html/018_text.htmlLucinda is found in the Warren County, Ohio 1850 Census living with her son Elias. In that census Lucinda says she was born in New Jersey.
From Matella Prickett Doughman's 1935 work, Supplement, pg 3: "Mrs Elizabeth Higgins Hadley left in her Bible a notation as follows: "These are taken from the tombstones at Wesley Chapel graveyard. Lucinda is my grandmother Jackson Flesher. Lucinda died May 20, 1853 - aged 65y 10m 8d. Mother (Catherine Flesher Higgins) died Jan. 13th 1852, aged 26y 2m 4d. Polly is my Aunt Mary Polly Bush, sister to grandmother, both died same day - Polly died May 21, 1853, aged 63y 9m 21d." Note that tho it is said they died the same day, the dates are one day off - see below.
From Matella Prickett Doughman's 1935 work, Supplement, pg 3: "Iva Conover gives this data concerning "Aunt Polly 'Mary' Bush, who lived near Butterville, Ohio. Her sister Lucinda Jackson Flesher had died (May 20, 1853), and walking home, very fast, as it was getting dark, she became ill, sat down on a log and then fell over dead from a heart attach. (May 21, 1853)."
Jackson Ledger @ HCPD mentions "Mr. Flesher" on pg 22.
Larry Flesher says William Flesher died in 1817 in Mason County (W)VA.
Ms. Barker says that his child Catherine was born in 1825.
Matella P. Doughman also says that Catherine was born in 1825 and that she doesn't know where Willliam Flesher lived after his wife Lucinda died.
So some data is in error here; probably the date and location of William Flesher's death. I am removing the Mason County, (W)VA 12 Jan 1817 location and date of death that I had previously posted until I can find better verification of his death. On Catherine's marriage Consent, her mother, Lucinda Flesher, is listed but not her father.
776. Phebe Jackson-54
Phebe's birth and death date are taken from Jackson Ledger (transcription on this site). Don Norman's files give b. 1793 and d. 1816.
Colonial Ancestors state that Phebe's father's name appears on deed dated April 1792; so the family was in Harrison County by the time Phebe was born. Phebe is the only one of Edward's surviving children born in Harrison County.Note below copied from http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/t/o/Robert-Stout/FILE/0001page.html

"James was four years old when he came with his father, Caleb Stout, to settle in present Harrison County. He grew up to be a prosperous farmer, a Democrat, and a Baptist. In 1811, he chose for his bride Phoebe, the daughter of Edward Jackson, who settled south of the present town of Mt. Clare. Phoebe's father had been one chosen by General Washington to cross the Delaware River with him on December 25, 1776. Edward and his son Stephen had fought together in the battle of Yorktown, when Stephen was wounded before he had reached his eighteenth birthday. James Stout, in 1812, purchased from Stephen Jackson a part of the home place, which lay across the hill on Stone Pot Run. There James and Phoebe reared a family of four sons and two daughters."(This story of Edward and Stephen crossing the Delaware seems to be a favorite and is repeated in other Jackson family records, but researchers are told that this is highly unlikely that the Regiment they were in could have been in that area at that time. More research on this would be welcome.)
Cem information from: Cemeteries Grant Magisterial Dist. Harrison County, WV, (Harrison County Genealogical Society Claksburg, Harrison County, WV), Pgs. 65, 66 & 426 A-1, Addendum information Jackson Cemetery. This book appears to be in error. James and Phebe are both buried on her father's home farm near Mt. Claire, Harrison Co, WV. The farm was later sold to the Bassel family and eventually ended up belonging in the 1970s to a farmer named Mendez. The farmer turned his animals into the area and shocked family members later removed the stone for Edward, Stephen and Stephen's wife Elizabeth, but I don't know if the stones for James and Phebe were moved or not.

As with any information, please use this only as a guide, not a substitute for your own research. As diligent as Mr. Crayon was in compiling this work, there are some notable errors that have been found.
"Rockaway was settled as early as 1720, and became a place of considerable business in 1730 in the building of the Job ALLEN Iron Works. Tradition relates that this particular spot had been selected as a burial ground, God’s acre, by the early families, but their names have not been recorded outside of the ALLEN and JACKSON families. At a later period, 1740 and 50, we have a goodly number in the immediate vicinity, and those connected with the building of the Church, 1752, and later those connected with the church, 1758 to 1768, the number of names increased rapidly. . .
"The first records of a family plot was in 1807. Joseph JACKSON was permitted to 'enclose in a fence twenty-eight feet square in the grave ground at the Meeting house where his wife is buried, for a burying ground for his family, and such of his father’s family as may choose to bury their dead'.”
I notice this permission was granted in the same year that Joseph's wife Elizabeth Platt Ogdin died.
****Colonel Joseph Jackson, of whom it may be said he was the founder of Rockaway village, was a son of Stephen Jackson and Mary Burwell, and was born March 8th 1774, in the log house on the north bank of the river a mile above the village, where his grandfather Joseph Jackson had lived and died. At his birth there were but five houses in Rockaway. His early education was conducted by George Harris, of whom mention has been made, who taught the first school in Rockaway. He was one of the six children of Captain Stephen Jackson, who headed the school subscription list. December 10th 1792 his name was entered on the roll of the Morris Academy (of which his father was a proprietor), and while at the academy surveying and French were part of his studies. He made practical use of his surveying, and became skilled in the use of the compass. Having left the academy in April 1793, he engaged in his father's business, at first as assistant and subsequently as his partner.
May 13th 1802 Colonel Jackson was married in New York to Eliza Platt Ogden, eldest daughter of Robert Ogden, of Sparta, N. J.
On the 29th of November 1796 he succeeded in getting a post-office established in Rockaway, and was postmaster until 1843, when President Tyler removed him. February 26th 1801 he was appointed major of the 1st battalion 3d regiment Morris militia, and in 1804 lieutenant colonel of the 3d regiment N. J. militia; as such he was ordered into service by the governor in the war of 1812, and did duty with his regiment for two or three months at Jersey City. He resigned his commission as colonel in 1817.
He was actively engaged in mining and manufacturing iron. The Swedes mines between Dover and Rockaway were worked by him for several years. He was also owner with his brother William of the Allen and Teabo mines. The Rockaway grist-mill and saw-mill, store and two forges were owned and operated by him, with other branches of industry.
In February 1813 he was elected by joint meeting judge of the court of common pleas of Morris county, and held this position until 1832, when he gave up the position of his own accord. He was elected ruling elder in the Rockaway Presbyterian church in 1818.
Part of his iron business he carried on at Paterson, in connection with his brother William, and they were the first parties who rolled round iron in the United States, which they did as early as 1820. In that year the government advertised for five tons of American round iron as a sample lot to be delivered at the Washington navy yard. The Jacksons forwarded the lot, which was found superior to that of their competitors, and the contract to furnish 200 tons at the New York navy yard was awarded to them, and filled to the satisfaction of the government, at 6 cents per pound. In 1820 Colonel Jackson and his brother William built the Rockaway rolling-mills, and they continued in joint business until 1826, when the colonel became sole owner, and until 1834 he carried it on very prosperously, having in the meantime many profitable contracts for iron with the government.
In 1828 he was elected a member of the New Jersey Legislature as a Jackson Democrat, and was returned for the two following years. He was a strong adherent of General Jackson, but in his later years was a Whig.
His wife, Elizabeth Platt Jackson, died in 1807, leaving one daughter (Sarah, who married Samuel B. Halsey), and two sons, Stephen J. and Robert Ogden; the latter died in infancy. The colonel died on the 28th of January 1855, in the 85th year of his age, honored and respected by all.
