NATHAN JACKSON, a pioneer of this county, was born May 6, 1808, in the Old
Dominion. His parents were John and Nancy (Farmer) Jackson, the former a
native of England, from whence he emigrated to the United States, stopping
for a time at the city of Baltimore, where he was married, then removing to
Virginia, where he died at a ripe old age. In 1828 Nathan Jackson and Miss
Martha Potter, a native of North Carolina, were married, and two years later
they emigrated West, where they expected to build a home in the new country.
They came to Lawrence County, Ind., and made settlement near where they now
reside, and Lawrence County has ever since been their home. By a life of
industry Mr. Jackson has accumulated 480 acres of land. In the acquisition
of this Mrs. Jackson has been an efficient helpmeet, sharing with her
husband all the hardships and adversities of pioneer life. Mr. Jackson is a
Democrat, and his wife is a member of long standing in the Christian Church.
Ten children have blessed their marriage, six of whom are yet living.
