The Gospel Messenger 1892 (Primitive Baptist publication)
Sister Jackson was born February 10, 1816, died October 25, 1891, at her 
residence in Pike County, Ala.  She was married to A. M. [Abner Mitchel] 
Jackson, Sr., October 31, 1833, by Eld. Hughes.  She was baptized by Eld. W. M. 
Helms, at Hopewell Church in Pike County, Ala., March 30, 1855, and her husband 
was also baptized at the same place and by the same minister June 30th of the 
same year.  They had thirteen children born to them, of whom twelve lived to be 
grown; and all, perhaps, except three or four, still survive.  Bro. Jackson 
died some years ago, leaving her to fight the battles of life and bear all the 
cares and responsibilities of raising the children, which she accomplished 
through the supporting grace of God, with great patience and fortitude, proving 
faithful and true to the last in discharge of her social, domestic and 
Christian duties.  She was a sincere, devoted Christian woman, and it may be 
justly said of her that she was a mother in Israel.  Five of her sons are 
esteemed members of the Primitive Baptist church, having been blessed with the 
faith and hope that sustained their parents through life and in death, and 
which will endure until lost in full fruition and an everlasting reunion in the 
sweet by and by.  J.E.W. HENDERSON [submitter of this to The Gospel Messenger 
1892]
