Jackson H. King was born about 1817 in the Capuchin area of NW Campbell Co. (now NE Scott Co.), Tennessee. The area he was born in became part of Scott County when it was created in 1849.
1938/1839 Tennessee tax records for 1838 and 1839, as well as Jackson's marriage record show his middle initial as "H". Several King family trees give his middle name as Henderson and some Henry. Possible, however, there seems to be no supportive documentation for either given name. Jackson had a brother, Enos King (1816-bet 1792/1900), who named his first born son, Jackson H. King (1846-1919). Apparently, the brothers were pretty close. Unfortunately, the middle given name for Enos' son is also unknown.
Jackson was the 3rd of 15 known children born to Thomas Murray "Tom" King (1790-1880) and Mary Rebecca "Polly" Cox (1800-1881). Jackson's parents are buried side-by-side in the Duncan Cemetery located in McCreary Co., KY on land that they used to own. The cemetery was part of Whitley County when they were buried there, but is now part of McCreary County, which was created in 1912 from portions of Whitley, Pulaski and Wayne counties.
Depending on his date of birth in 1790, Jackson's father, Thomas, was born either in "North Carolina's Western Territory" (if before May 26, 1790) or "The Territory South of the Ohio River" (if after May 25, 1790). Thomas' parents are thought to have been Kirby King (abt 1852/55?-1795/96) and Uroth Murray (abt 1852/55?-1806?).
Jackson mother, Mary Rebecca "Polly" Cox (1800-1881), was born in old North Carolina (Ashe County ?). Her father is thought by many to have been William Cox (abt 1762-1820s?), owner of a farm near the Kirby King farm in Washington Co., TN. consequently, Mary knew her future husband, Thomas Murray King, while growing up. Her mother is currently unknown.
About 1819, Jackson's parents migrated from Campbell Co, TN to Whitley Co., KY. He was just about two year of age at the time. He lived in Kentucky until about 1834-35 when he returned to Campbell County, probably to live with his uncle, William King Sr. (1785-1841/50), who also lived in the Capuchin area, not far from Angel Valley.
About 1835, at about the age of 18, Jackson married his first wife (abt 1820-abt 1840/41). Unfortunately, her name is unknown but her surname may have been Angel. They probably lived on a 20 acre farm that his father had acquired in 1824.
Jackson and his unknown wife had three children during their short marriage. They were William King (1836-1850), Sarah "Sallie" King (1838- ?) and John King (1840- ?). Very little is known about Jackson's first wife and their three children.
It is thought that his older brother, Enos King (abt 1816-bet 1892/1900), returned to Campbell County and lived with Jackson and/or their uncle, William King Sr., in the mid-late 1830s. On Aug. 29, 1839, in Campbell County, Enos married Nancy Angel (abt 1820-bet 1892/1900).
On Apr. 24, 1842, in Campbell Co., TN, Jackson, then a widower, married Nancy (Angel) King's younger sister, Elizabeth Jane "Eliza" Angel (abt 1824-1890s). They were the daughters of Archibald Andrew "Arch" Angel (abt 1775-1847) and Nancy Ann Trammell (abt 1872-1829), both buried in the Angel Family Cemetery (aka Angel-Wright Cemetery) in graves that are now unmarked or have markers that are no longer readable. There are 160+ unidentifiable markers in this old Angel family cemetery.
Eliza's father, Arch, was born in old North Carolina and had migrated to Campbell County by the early 1800s (1810?). He was the son of English immigrant, William Angel II (abt 1752-1852), and Mary Rachel Godwin (1752-bet 1841/50), both born in the British Province (Colony) of North Carolina (1712-1776).
Eliza's mother, Nancy, was a daughter of Revolutionary War soldier, Dennis Trammell (1759-1849), and Elizabeth Brassfield ? (abt 1757-abt 1820). The Trammell family lived in Campbell County (now Scott Co.), between Angel Valley and Chitwood (present day Winfield).
Jackson King and Eliza Angel would be married for about 15-18 years and had eight known children before his death (cause unknown) in 1857. Their known children were Nancy "Nannie" King (1843- ?), James King (1844- ?), Nicholas King (1847-bef 1860), Jane King (1849-bef 1860), Martha King (1850-1935), Andrew Jackson King (1854-1936), William King (1855-? ) and Thomas M. King (1857-abt 1885?). Except for A. J. King little is known about these children. Several are thought to have died young.
The 1850 census shows Jackson and his family living (7 children, ages 1-14) on a farm that he owns in Whitley Co., KY, just a few miles from the KY/TN state line and Scott County, not far from Ketchen/Angel Valley. He died there between 1857-59 at the age of 39-41. Jackson is thought to be buried in the Angel Family Cemetery in Campbell Co. (now Scott Co.), TN, an area where he had once lived and where his wife, Eliza, was born and raised. As mentioned earlier, it was the Angel family cemetery.
Jackson's wife, Eliza, did not remarry. She appears in the 1870 census as widowed (46) and has five of her children living with her, ages 10-20. She appears in the 1880 Whitley County census, Eliza (56 and widowed) and has two adult sons living with her, Thomas (23) and Andrew (19). They are shown as working on the farm.
Eliza died between 1891-1900. She too, is thought to be buried in the Angel Family Cemetery, on land that was part of her family's farm when she was growing up. As mentioned earlier, her parents (1st burials ?) and husband are also buried in the Angel Cemetery, as are several of her siblings and numerous relatives. Her uncle (mother's brother), James Trammell (1774-1826), has the oldest readable marker in the cemetery.
The Angel Cemetery (aka Angel-Wright Cemetery) contains only 20 or so headstones that are readable. It has 160+ grave sites that have markers that are now unidentifiable, many of them field stones. The burial markers for Jackson and Eliza are now unmarked or
unreadable.
