My Great Great Grandfather Jackson L. Rash is believed to be the son of David and Levina Rash based upon the records of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions in Fayette County, Tennessee for Monday, March 4, 1839 as follows:
"On application to the Court it was ordered that Jackson L. Rash, an orphan boy of said county of the age of 13 years on the 13th day of September 1839 was bound to Jas. (James) S. Wills until he attains the full age of 21 years to learn the occupation of Spring Maker..."
David Rash was born about 1794 in North Carolina and died in February 1839 in Fayette County, Tennessee. He was married to Levina.
Jackson married Susan Berry on October 4, 1847 in DeSoto County, Mississippi near the town of Hernando by a justice of the peace. Susan Berry was the daughter of Henry Berry and Cynthia Ann Turley. Henry was born in 1794 in North Carolina and died on 25 June 1861 in Drew County, Arkansas. Some family members believe that by October 1847 Jackson was already in Arkansas and was working for Susan Berry's father Henry H. "William" Berry and that Jackson and Susan eloped and married in DeSoto County, Mississippi where a Berry family member owned a general store and operated a post office near the Mississippi River.
The union between Jackson L, Rash and Susan Berry produced eleven known children: Mary Jane (1848), John L. (1850), Henry (1853), Caroline (1854), Amanda "Mandy" Elizabeth (1854), Andrew Jackson "A.J." (1857), Richard Chesley (1859), Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie"(1862), Hezekiah K. (1865), Susan (1869), and Oliver C. (1872). Nine of his children lived to adulthood. Children Henry and Susan died before the age of 10 years old.
Jackson was a farmer for more than fifty years and pioneered farming in the Seven Devils Lake area in Drew, County.
He was also a Civil War Veteran and served in Company B, John C. Wrights Regiment, 6th Arkansas Calvary, Confederate States of America (CSA) from 1862 to 1864 in the Arkadelphia, Arkansas area under the command of Pink Burks. He took the Amnesty Oath and swore allegiance to the United States after the Civil War on December 22, 1865 in Monticello, Arkansas.
Jackson was a Mason and a 35 year member of the Eureka Lodge #40 of Monticello, Arkansas and was buried with full Masonic rights at his death in October 1896. He is buried beside his wife Susan (Berry) Rash in a central location under large cedar tree in the Rash Family Cemetery, Cominto, Drew County Arkansas (Lat: N33 Degrees, 33 Min., 24Sec. - Long: W 91 Degrees, 38Min, 14 Sec) just off Arkansas State Highway 35E on the original Rash family farmland.

Grandfather Jackson may you rest in peace.
