Obituary - Annals of Sandy Spring or Fourteen Years History of a Rural Community in Maryland, Volume III, Chapter III (1897-1898), Pages 74-75:
At Ashton, February 18, George Hallock Jackson died in the eighty-second year of his age. Born in Peru County, N. Y., of Quaker parents, he soon found farm life too monotonous for him so at eighteen he left home, spending five years in the Southwest, and engaging in business in New Orleans and St. Louis. Returning to his native state in 1839, he married Harriet Allen in 1842, and for fourteen years had a large carriage factory in Troy, N. Y. After that he moved with his family many times, living for several years at a time in eight other states before coming to Sandy Spring, where his last days were spent.
Though actively engaged in business, he always found time for reading both current and standard literature, and the storehouse of his retentive memory was always at the service of anyone who came to him for information; but this retiring disposition kept his from thrusting his opinions on others unasked.
Throughout his long life he impressed those who knew him best with his gentlemanly manner, his industry, his generosity, his intelligence, his dignity.
