Mr. Jackson was very esteemed by his associates and was selected near and far to act as arbitrator in disputes between neighbors, and he was always just and equitable in the decisions. Although not a member of any church, he attended the United Presbyterian church, of which he was a liberal supporter.
October 5, 1826, he married Elizabeth McCartney, of Scotch parentage, who was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, October 10, 1805, and died August 9, 1880. She was a most estimable Christian lady, being a member of the United Presbyterian church, and well fulfilled her mission in life both as a companion for her husband and a mother to her children, to whom she was devotedly attached, and her affection for them was warmly reciprocated.
They became the parents of ten children, viz:
Nancy Jane (Coleman) 1827-1919,
Sarah T (Martin) 1829-1928,
James Y.1831-1901,
Samuel M.1833-1906,
John T.,1837-1892
William T.1839-1876,
Mary E. (Owens)1841-1922,
Martha M (Cochran)1843-1918,
Joseph B. 1845-1927
and Winfield S.1849-1853.
