LIEUT. SAMUEL JACKSON



   Lieut. Samuel Jackson applied for revolutionary pension while living in

Washington County, Tenn., July 13, 1829. He was born Sept. 16, 1755. He enlisted

in the fall of 1775 and served until he resigned in 1778. He served in Georgia

troops under Capt. Joseph Lane and Col. Stark. He was in the battle of Ogeechee

River where he was shot in the hip. He died in Washington County, May 2, 1836.

His widow, Elizabeth Woodrow Jackson, born Dec. 22, 1764, died Jan. 8, 1844,

applied for widow's pension Nov. 6, 1839, while living in Washington County. She

was married in Philadelphia, Pa., April 20, 1780. Her children were: Harry, born

1789; Tamey, born 1783, died 1783; Charles, born 1785, died 1786; William, born

1787, died 1787; Susan, born 1788; Mary Ann, born 1790, died 1810: Tamey, born

1793; Julia Adelaide Eliza, born 1797, died 1817; Caroline, born 1799; Harriet,

born 1803, and Alfred Eugene, born 1807.



   Note: Samuel D. Jackson was the son of Philip Jackson. He was born in

Carlisle, Pa. He was a merchant in Philadelphia in 1801. He purchased 39,000

acres in Middle Tennessee from Gov. Blount. He moved to Middle Tennessee for a

time but returned to East Tennessee, and located on the Nolachukey River. In a

wager with Gen. Andrew Jackson he lost 10,000 acres and fought a duel with

Jackson in which Jackson ran him through the body with his sword. The historian

very quaintly says that this caused a coolness between them. His wife was an

intimate friend of Dolly Madison and was a bridesmaid in her first marriage.

Concerning her children given in the pension application: Susan W., married

Thomas G. Watkins; Julia Adelaide Eliza, married David Anderson Deaderick;

Caroline married John A. Aiken; Harriet, married Oliver B. Ross; Alfred Eugene,

married Serephina Taylor, daughter of Gen. Nathaniel Taylor.
