^^^ PREFACE

In compiling' the followin-^^ facts relating to some of the jacksons and their correlated families, no special effort has been made to go far back in order to trace unbroken famih lines. Neither has the attempt been made to include all the younger members of the latest generations. The article b\ Elenor Lexington, entitled "The Jacksons", forms a fitting introductory chapter.

Dr. I . Henry Jackson, in 1 89 r, jniblished a " Family Record ", which was the first attempt to give in outline the family history including the names and dates, in so far as he could secure them, relating to his branch of the Jacksons and some of the correlated families. This entailed much research, correspondence and labor, the \aluable results of which are included in these images.

The statement of b^lenor Lexington that, in relation to professions, "Medicine has attracted a great number of Jacksons", has been illustrated by later generations. Not only was one of the sons of the Rey. John Jackson a medical man, but three of his grandsons and five great-grandsons hold the title of Doctor of Medicine. The other professions have Hkewise been well represented b\- his descendants.

There is mingled in the veins of the present generation the blood of luiglish, Irish, Scotch and American ancestors, who came through the stirring times of the English Commonwealth, the Irish Uprising, the Protestant Ascendency of Scotland and the American War of the Revolution, fulfilling their duties faithfullx and well. Man\ of them as early colonial settlers i)assed through severe hardships antl did veomen service in ])ioneer life. The ])resent generations reap from them a great heritage of jirogress and prosperity. May they ])rove worthy descendants of an honorable ancestry.

THE JACKSONS

By ELENOR LEXINGTON

"Although the name of Jackson is as ancient as the language we speak, it is not easy to trace the genealog}- of the family back farther than the tenth or eleventh century . The Jacksons are chiefly and unequivocally Anglo-Saxon. The traditions of the family which now sur\ive indicate that the Jacksons were men of decision, of character and firmness of puqx)se. In times when men, as Tennyson says, 'had to dodge or duck or die,' they appear to have been steadfast in their adherence to their convictions, esj^ecially in religion.

"Raljih Jackson suffered mart}rdom at the stake at Stratford, June 27, 1556, and thus inscribed his name on the roll of those who ]5referred cruel death to a renunciation of what they deemed the truth. A few months after, John Jackson also had to face his persecutors, being charged with heresy. * I am told that thou art the rankest heretic of all, ' his chief accuser said. Mr. Jackson's reply was : 'It is easier to call a man a heretic than to pro\e him one.' He was not called to give up his life for his faith. But that one of the famil}' should be found among the sufferers in so noble a cause redounds to its honor and sheds a certain luster on the name.

"Men of such mold were not likelv to be quiescent in such stormy times, but whether the Jacksons sup])orted the fortunes of the House of York or Lancaster, or what part they took in political struggles is not known. It seems, however, that they became entitled to a coat of arms. The device, a greyhound, signifies swiftness by land. The dolj^hin, emblazoned on some of the Jack.son arms, denotes swiftness by sea. The arms are described in heraldry an argent on a fesse, between a goat's head and a ship in full sail. A greyhound courant between two j:)heons. The crest is a goat's head couped, argent, armed and bearded, gorged with a collar gule. There is no motto. As the riirht to familv arms was the criterion which

distini^aiishcd the gentleman from the peasant, the fact of the possession indicates a certain degree of rank in the possessor.

" Antlionx lacksDU is the tii'st ancestor trom wlioin descent can l)e traced in an unbroken line. He was born in luxleston, in the parish of Saint Michael, Lancaster, England, about the beginning ot the seventeenth centur\'. In 1649, ^^'^^^ ''''^ brother Richard, he remoxed to Ireland and settled in Idster. There is a tradition that the\' accompanied ()li\er Cromwell to Ireland on his inxasion of that country and in his campaign against the Duke of {)rmond. Richard married Margaret Keete, who like him was an emigrant from England. A few years later Anthony and Richard Jackson, having become disciples of George Eox, established the first Eriends Meeting in Ireland.

"Isaac, Anthony Jackson's son, was the progenitor of the Jackson family in America. With his wife, Ann, and their children he arrixed in this countrx' in 1725. lie xxas then sixty years old. Tlie name Isaac has always been a faxorite in the Jackson himilx in honor of the emigrant ancestor.

"William Jackson, a grandson of Isaac Jackson, xvas a Eriend and Elder. It is related of him that he xxould never lend mone}- at a rate of interest exceeding six per cent, and he alloxved his debtors to pax' verx' much as it suited their convenience. He was plain in his st\le of lixing and the ancient trencher xvith its fitting accomjianiments adorned his familx' table long after it had disappeared from other households.

"If you ever come across a clock which has inscribed upon it 'Made by Isaac Jackson, New Garden, Chester Countx ', xou max' be certain it x\-as a good clock in its dax". ( )ne of the first clocks made by him was a regulator xxilhout striking attachments. The clockmaker ^vas the son of 'Honest William Jackson' as he xx-as called — not that it was rare to find an honest Jackson as some facetious people of other names have suggested, but because of his undoubted and coimtrv xvide reputation for unsxxerxing integritx'.

"As to professions, medicine has attracted a great number of the Jacksons. Some were merchants, some mechanics, more were farmers and a few were law\ers, though the early generation regarded this profession with anything but favor.

"Isaac Jackson in 1758, with others took steps which were successful, for the emancipating of all sla\es held by members of the Society of Friends. Alice Jackson, who was a gifted member of the Society, brought the subject of Friends using the ]iroducts of slave labor before the \early meeting in Philadeljihia in an address which constituted the first step in reform organized a few years later. It is recorded of Alice Jackson that she was tall and handsome, queenly in dignity and self command. One who knew her well said of her, 'She could not enter a store to buy a yard of tape without leaving the impression that she was a su]>erior woman."

"The descendants of Isaac antl Ann Jackson have formed a society and hold familv meetings at stated inter\'als at Harmony Grove, Chester County, I'a. This is where Isaac Jackson settled upon his arrival in America. As many as eight hundred lineal descendants have come together at one of these meetings.* One of the relics cherished by the family is a marriage certificate which bears the autograph of the original Isaac Jackson. Another relic is some dishes given as a bridal present. They are of wood neatly turned, with the tea cups of small dimensions.

" The Jacksons have ever been an honest, industrious, enterjirising, God-fearing, God-loving people. A distinguished member of the family was President Andrew Jackson. His father, who came from Ireland in 1795, was a relative of the Anthony and Richard Jacksons who went to Ireland from Fngland, but he did not connect himself with the I'"ricnds."

* Hannony Grove is not now owned by descendants of Isaac Jackson and the reunions are discontinued.

The Ri-:\. John Jacksox was the son of James jaekson, who was born in 1730 and chcd December S, iSio. llis mother, Mary Jackson, was born in 1739 and died March 2, 1.S15.

James Appleton Jackson, who lixed in Petersham until 1864, when he died, was called the "Cicneral" because of his marked resemblance to President Andrew Jackson. His brother, Ezra leaker Jackson, was an actor and visited his uncle, the Rev. John Jackson at Brome, while playing in Montreal. Martha Jackson, a sister of the Re\-. John Jackson, married Captain Joel Brooks and had nine children, some of whom lived in the Eastern Township of Lower Canada. She died December 2, 181 5.

Rebkcc.\ Rogkrs, wife of the Rev. John Jackson, was the granddaughter of Thomas Rogers, who was said to be a direct (lescendant of John Rogers the Knglish martyr.

money which the ^i^ovcrnment subsequently repudiated. It is said he burned about half a bushel of these notes. Suffering this great loss and having a large family to provide for, he emigrated to Canada and settled in Stukley, March 8, 1803. There is a family tradition that he was a paymaster in the War of the Revolution. He was one of the "men who marched from New Ijoswich before daylight on the morning of April 20, 1775,' and al.so "belonged to Enoch Hale's regiment, which marched from New Ipswich, June 29, 1777. to reinforce the garrison at Ticonderoga." *

The Rk\. JniiN J.\rKS().\ resigned his pastorate in G'\]\, Mass., October 10, 1801, on account of an affection of his throat, but owning a farm of fifty-three acres near the church, he continued to reside there until 181 i . He had contemplated remo\ing with his familv to (ienesee C Ountv, New York, but as his wife's father, Josiah Rogers and his family, hatl gone to Canada he was induced to follow them. With a span of horses and a covered carriage Mr. and Mrs. Jackson with their eight children set out on their long journey, followed by another team carrving their furniture. The journey was accomplished in ten days.

Mr. Jackson had eight hundred dollars in goltl which he carried in a box, giving it his personal care. While on the way they passed through Montpelier, \'t., where the\- stopped at a hotel for dinner. Taking his monev box with him he casually placed it on the desk in the common room and thought no more about it until they had resumed their journe)- and gone a long distance. With considerable consternation they returned and were rejoiced to find the box safe, where they had left it.

Their journey ended in Stukley, Lower C anada, where Josiah Rogers and his familv had settled in 1803, and there

Mr. Jackson inirchascd a farm on which the)" li\ccl for fcjur years. Then, dcsirin<;' a better locatum tor his family and by the advice of General ( )lcott, an old friend and college companion, he removed to Brome and purchased another farm of three hundred acres. As his sons grew to manhood he i;-a\e some of them ixirtions of this estate, which they enlarged by purchases from other parties until there were five contiguous farms owned bv the family, and the location was known far and near as "the Jackson Neighborhood".

Recovering from tlie throat affecti(^n which troubled him in tlie earlier years of his pastorate, Mr. Jackson entered anew upon the work of the ministr\', which he prosecuted in Canada for about twent}' \ears. At that time there were but few churches in the sparsely settled Eastern Townships, therefore, as one of the pioneer preachers, his ministr\- was chiefly itinerant and evangelistic.

Making his way on horseback through the forests, guided by the blazed trees, he went from settlement to settlement in various townships, sometimes preaching in dwellings, barns and groves. For this hard pioneer labor he received but little reward aside from the consciousness that he was serving his Master. However, old subscription lists, signed b\' early settlers in the \arious townships, are in the possession of his descendants wherein various sums in ])ounds, shillings and pence, but mostly in shillings and pence, were ]iledged to him for the ])reaching of the gospel.

The following extract from Thomas' History of the Eastern Townships, published in 1866, was written by the Rev. David Connell the first j)astor of the Congregational Church at Brome: "In the year 1842 I visited the Township of Brome as a Congregational minister and found Esquire Jackson, as he was then called (having held the ofifice of Magistrate for about twelve years),* one of the most interested of a few Christians to have a settled minister in the j^lace. About a year after m\" arri\al, I had erected a comfortable

meeting house and tornied a church of fifteen members, on Congregational principles. Esquire Jackson, his wife and one of his sons (who is now deacon of the church), with his wife and his wife's mother, were then received into the church and united with a few others in Christian fellowship.

" For a short period I had much pleasure from the society and Christian fellowship of Mr. Jackson. He was a person of most pleasing and affable manners and most sociably disjiosed. He had been permitted to see his pravers answered in the imj:)roved state of religious society ; but the Lord had designed that the cause once established, his work on earth should soon close. In the second week in March. 1S44, Mr. Jackson com]:)lained a little from the effects of a cokl. He was confined a few davs to his bed without anv sexere jiain or suffering. On the dav jirex ious to his death I saw him and thought he was doing well and would soon be better but it was otherwise determined. He dejiarted this life on the iSth of March, 1S44.

On the twentieth, the solemn occasion was im])ro\ed at the Congregational Church at Hrome b\ a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Wilkes, pastor of the Congregational Church at Montreal. At the close the congregation followed the silent remains of Mr. Jackson to the adjoining bur\ ing ground, where thev found a final resting place. On the following Sabbath I preached the funeral sermon ti> a large and attentive congre- gation, from I'roxerbs i\ .. i <S : 'The jiath of the just is a shining light which shineth more and more unto perfect day.

The Rev. Samuel Xelsox Jackson after resigning the charge of Saint Paul's Lnion Church, at Cote Saint Paul, Montreal, and having comj^ileted a course of medical studies,

52

\

Rev. Samuel Nelson Jackson

received the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University of \"ermont in 1871. and became the pastor of Zion Congrega- tional Church in Toronto. He held this pastorate for seven years, resigning in 1S77 to assume charge of the First Congre- gational Church of the Citv of Kingsti^n. which office he retained for eighteen years.

The Congregational Church in the Citv of Barre, Vermont, invited Dr. Jackson to become its pastor in 1S95, which in\"ita- tion he accepted, and bv so doing severed his long connection with the Canadian Churches. He was pastor in Barre for si.v years, which j^eriod embraced the Centennial Celebration of the Church in 1 899. Retiring from the active duties of the ministr}", the vear following, Dr. Jackson carried out a long cherished plan of making an extended tour throughout Europe and the Hoh" Land, and was accomj^anied by his wife and their son, the Rev. William Parkvn Jackson.

Dr. Jackson was for many years closely identified with the various Congregational organizations of Canada. He was Secretar}" of the Indian Missionaiy Society in 1873 and Editor of the "Canadian Independent" from 1873 to 1874, also President of the Publishing Company in 1875. He was appointed Chairman of the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec in 18S1. For five vears he edited the "Congre- gational Year Book'", embracing the period between 1880 and 1886. A director of the Missionary- Society for fifteen years, he filled the office of Home Secretary from 1878 to 1883, when, on the retirement of the Rev. Dr. Wilkes, he was appointed General Secretar\'. which position he filled from

1883 to 1887. He was then made Treasurer of the Societv and continued as such until i895,wiien he removed to the United States.

1884 to 1S95 and for ten vears ga\e annual courses of

54

lectures in the College. His subject was "Congregationalism : Its History, Polity and Administration ".

Dr. Jackson was greatly interested in promoting the convening of a Pan-Congregational Council and at the annual meeting of the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, held at Montreal in June, 1884, prepared and presented the following resolution which was adopted : " Resolved, that the Committee of the Congregational Union of England and Wales be asked to consider the possibility of convening a General Congregational Council, and should this seem feasible, we would request the Union to take such steps as may to them seem best for the assembling of such a council repre- senting the Congregational Churches throughout the world." The question was referred to the General Purpose Committee of the English Union, who made a favorable report on the matter.*

The Congregational Union of Mctoria, Australia, also took up the question in 1888, and urged the Union of England and Wales to convene such a council, which was endorsed by the Union of New South Wales, and led the English Union to take action. The first International Congregation Council was held in London in July, 1891, to be followed by its decennary successors. Dr. Jackson was one of the delegates from Canada to that assembly and by request of the Committee of Arrangements gave an address on "The Claims of Canada on the sympathy and aid of the Congregational Churches of England and the United States".

By the request of the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, Dr. Jackson prepared and published in 1894 a " Hand- Book of Congregationalism " of two hundred and ten images, which passed through two editions.

When Dr. and Mrs. lackson were returning from their wedding tour in 1866 they remained for a short time in BurUngton, \'t. Its beautiful situation greatly attracted Mrs. Jackson and she remarked, " If I could choose our future
