From "Early Life & Times in Boone Co., IN" 1887 is a biography on Joseph
Jackson on page 313.
"Mr. Jackson, one of the early settlers of Jackson Twp., was born in Gilbert
Co., NC, March 2, 1803; married to Martha Heady (who was born in KY,
12-23-1804) in 1825. Soon after they were married they came to Putman Co., IN
where he resided until 1835, when they came to Boone Co.,settling on the farm
now owned by John Leck near Ward Postoffice. Mr. Jackson died March 1, 1876,
Mrs. Jackson died January 20,1885, both buried at the old Union Cemetery in
Jackson township. Mrs. Jackson was a member of the Christian Church. There
were born to this family the following named children: Thomas, H, Joseph,
Elisha, Rebecca, Emsley, Sarah A., George, Lydia E.., Mary E., Lewis M.,
Amanda M. Of this family, Joseph, Elisha, Amanda, Emsley and George live in
Boone Co. Thomas H. resides in Kansas; Sarah A. resides in Hendricks Co., IN;
Lydia E. resides on Cowley Co., Kansas. Mr. Elisha Jackson, third child of
this early family, was married to Elizabeth J. Hendricks, resides in Jackson
Township, where he owns a fine farm and is one of the substantial farmers of
the county. I am indebted to him for favors received in gathering material
for this work."
