"Joseph Addison Jackson and Horatio Nelson Jackson were the youngest children in the Rev. John Jackson's family. They were twins and so closely resembled each other that it was difficult to tell them apart. They did not dress alike but at times when preparing for social gatherings would exchange clothing, which frequently caused great perplexity and much amusement. They lived on adjoining farms and were mutually helpful to each other.

"Joseph Addison Jackson was born March 3, 1810, and married Almira Harvey, October 3, 1840. She died August 10, 1853, leaving three children: Martha Jane Jackson, born December 17, 1842, died March 12, 1851; Ann Eliza Jackson, born October 20, 1847, died August 22, 1867, and Charles Jackson, born May 4, 1852, died December 30, 1893. Charles Jackson was married to Grace Hazard (Whitman), February 14, 1893.

"Mr. Jackson married Ann Stephen Small of Dunham, June 13, 1854, by whom he had three children: Mary Lillia Jackson, born November 14, 1855, died August 22, 1870; Almira Isabella Jackson (Batcheller), born August 1, 1858; and William Henry jackson, born January 17, 1867.

"Mr. Jackson had a genius for introducing and bringing together diffident candidates for matrimony and many happy marriages resulted from his kindly office. He owned his father's homestead, where he died July 5, 1874. his widow, Ann Stephen Small, died at Bedford, May 12, 1906.

"Horatio Nelson jackson, the twin brother of Joseph Addison Jackson, born March 5, 1810, married Eliza Maria Hollister, July 15, 1833. Miss Hollister was born in Hinesburg, Vt., and was the daughter of Stephen Hollister and Sarah Farrand. Sarah Farrand was born in New Milford, Conn., in 1775, a daughter of Dr. Samuel Farrand, and married Stephen Hollister, in Hinesburg, Vt., in 1799. Her last years were spent with her daughter in Brome, Canada, where she died April 5, 1853.

"Horatio Nelson Jackson, the youngest son of the Rev. John Jackson, was a farmer in Brome in the Province of Quebec. His farm consisted of a former portion of his father's estate to which he made additions by purchases from other parties in the "Jackson Neighborhood". He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1846 and held the office for thirty-three years. Both he and his wife were devoted members of the Congregational Church at Brome in which he held the office of deacon for thirty-three years.

"As he approached the age of three score years and ten, Mr. jackson found the cares of his farm a burden, his three sons having chosen professions and left their home. Therefore, in 1869, he sold his farm and removed to Cote Saint Paul, Montreal, where his second son at that time was a pastor. There he purchased a garden, which he continued to cultivate during the remaining years of his life. His former farm and that of his father, the Rev. John jackson, are now (1911) owned by Benjamin Draper whose wife is, on her mother's side, a direct descendant of Josiah Rogers.

"Eliza Maria Hollister, wife of Horatio Nelson Jackson, died on April 14, 1881, and on June 23, 1887, he was again married to Mrs. Miriam (Huse) Babcock, who died at East Barre, Vt., July 17, 1899. Mr. Jackson died at the Congregational Parsonage, Barre, Vt., February 8, 1896, while spending the winter with his son.* Though he had reached the advanced age of eighty-six years, he was strong and active, both mentally and physically, and he left a memory which will long be cherished by all who knew him. Three children were born to him by his first wife, namely: Joseph Addison Jackson, Samuel Nelson Jackson and John Henry Jackson."
