"STONEWALL" JACKSON -  

On January 21, 1824, Thomas J. Jackson was born in a house which stood
upon Main street,Clarksburg, Harrison County, and which was recently torn 
down to make way for the fine three-story brick block which now occupies
the site. He is remembered by the older citizens of the town as a bright, 
unassuming lad, and he removed to the village of Weston when about twelve 
years of age. The history of "Stonewall" Jackson, who became so 
distinguished in the late war, is familiar to all; there was no other
officer in the Confederate army so much respected by the North and
revered by the South.
