__end of quote__There are two Buffalo Gap communities in Texas; I (Janie) don't know which county his death occurred in though the DAR application gives Taylor Co. The 1900 census for Humphries Co., TN does show his wife, Margaret, living with their daughter Nancy, and both women are widowed. So it appears that Margaret came back to Tennessee after Uriah died.
next hh to Robert Jackson is his sister Nancy:

1777. Cpt. John Wesley Jackson Sr.-10471
Notes below provided by Jody Dillard:
John Wesley Jackson Sr. was born in Gwinnett Co. Georgia July 11, 1809. He was enlisted in the army in 1847, was a captian in the Militia and drilled men in Benton. Privates in those days drew $12.50 a month salary. He married Lydia Berry Clements in Georgia 1833, moved to Ala. in the latter part of 1833 or 34 settled on the Muscadine Creek where he lived for twenty three years rearing a large family of six sons and six daughters. He decided to change his location, so moved to Arkansas, but didn't find things very prosperous there, so after seven years of hard struggle to make a living, he located in Texas in 1863, landing in Hopkins County Christmas week. He lived with his son John W. Jr. prior to his death in Falls Co. Texas; died of Measles February 4, 1886, in his 77th year. During his last sickness his son's and their families were very sick so that they couldn't write to him nor come and see him which was great sorrow to him. He said,"none of my family care enough about me to come and see me." He didn't know they were unable to do so. Source: written by Alice Jackson Curtis 1926
In 1833 in Gwinnet County, Georgia, John Wesley II was married to Lydia Berry Clements. The Jacksons and the Clements were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church -- South. They moved to Alabama in late 1833, where they lived for twenty-four years. John W. II served as a Captain in the militia in 1847.
In 1858, John Wesley and Lydia relocated in Sevier County, Arkansas where their son-in-law and eldest daughter - Thomas D. and Rebecca (Jackson) Harlan -- had settled two years previously. Lydia Berry Clements died there soon after their arrival.
In Christmas week 1863, John Wesley and some of his children and the Thomas D. Harlan family moved into Red River County, Texas; and subsequently they all settled in Falls County on Blue Ridge, the Harlans in 1867; Jacksons in 1869.
J.W. never married again even though he was left with eight small children between the ages of three to sixteen years old to raise.
J. W. died of measles in Falls County and is buried in Stranger Cemetery.

AN OLD CITIZEN GONE
Died in the residence of his daughter Mrs. S.C. Johnson on Blue Ridge, at 10 o'clock a.m., Wednesday February 3rd, 1886. John W. Jackson, in the 77th year of his age. His burial took place at the Union Church cemetery.
The above notice conveys the sad intelligence that another has been called from his labors here below to the realms above where all is peace and happiness.
John Jackson was a citizen of this county many years and took a great interest in everything pertaining to the prosperity of the county. He was born in Gwinett County, Georgia, on the 11th of July, 1809, where he lived until after his marriage with Liddia Clements in the year 1832. It will be remembered that about that time the Seminoles were banished from their country, thereby offering great inducements to the sturdy sons of toll in pushing farther westward in search of a home. Mr. Jackson, then a young man in the full vigor of life and possessing the true spirit of the early pioneers, removed with his wife and three little children to the then beautiful hills and valleys of Alabama, where he lived until the country became more thickly settled. In 1857 he again took up the westward march and settled on Little River, Northern Arkansas. Here the dark cloud of misfortune came over him --- the death of his wife in June 1858. This cast a gloom over his life from which he never recovered. At the breaking out of the war he came to Texas where he resided ever since. He was blessed with twelve children, six sons and six daughters, two of whom now live in our midst. He became a member of the Methodist-Episcopal Church at an early age and lived and died a Christian. He was the father of Jerry Jackson, well known in Marlin.
He is gone to the land of sweet rest;
Gone where the flowers bloom.
Gone to the home of the blest;
Gone beyond the tomb.
He's gone to the land where angels sing
Gone to the Heavenly shore;
Gone to meet the Heavenly King;
Gone to weep no more.
W.H.LAID TO REST
Mournfully and sadly we laid him to rest
In his narrow bed of clay.
With his dear old hands clasped on his breast
So like a child he lay.
The sweetest smile o'er his features played.
Oh, can we call it Death?
That takes from us the earthly form
To imbue with heavenly breath.Yes, 'tis death, the death we fear.
But 'tis only going before;
We soon will follow in his steps,
To walk the heavenly shore.Our looks like his will soon be gray,
Our steps like his be slow;
And when death comes, God grant may we
Be prepared like him to go.He smiled when he knew the end was near.
He was going to her once more--
The one most beloved of him on earth;
Long since gone before.His eyes tho' dim to earthly sights;
Could see beyond the grave,
Angels waiting on the distant shore;
To bear him o'er the wave.To that mansion prepared by Christ above,
For his children here below
Who serve Him as dear grandfather did
Waiting, long waiting to go.A Granddaughter
According to Jody Dillard:
Lydia was the daughter of a school teacher, Salathiel Clements. Born in North Carolina of Welsh parentage, who came with the Huguenots to South Carolina. Her mother was Ellender W. Berry whose father was William Berry, Revolutionary War hero who fought in George Washington's Company.

She was very fond of books and was of South Methodist belief. She was of Welsh descent and came with the Hueguenots to South Carolina. Her father was a school teacher.
