• Notes

  Information from hand drawn chart by (Phi)Lura Lincoln Cook: John Jackson was born in Ireland and came to the United States when he was 9 years old. He was a weaver until he married Rachel Orr. They moved to her birthplace in PA and later to Jefferson County, OH, about 6 miles from Wellsburg, VA. Their first home was a log cabin without glass in the windows. Her father gave Rachel a black mare. When the Indians came near, the horse would put his head through the window opening and neigh. Once this happened when Rachel was alone because John had ridden on horseback to the mill, a 2- or 3-day trip. The Indian only wanted something to eat. John was a second cousin of President Andrew Jackson.

NOTES from SAR Patriot Index Database - Feb. 2001: This entry could be an ancestor of our John Jackson - still needs proof - John Jackson, b. 1719 Coleraine, Londonderry, Ireland; m. 4 July 1755, probably in WVa, (spouse??), d. 25 Sept, 1804, Clarksburg, Harrison Co., WVa; buried Sept 1801, Jackson Cemetery, on E. Pine Street, Clarksburg, WVa. Source: Letter from "Aunt Lou" (this is Philura Buchanan Lincoln) to "Dell" (this was Rachel Adella Tobias), 10 Feb. 1915, with family history details. "Grandfather Buchanan was born in Washington County, PA, married Jane Cummins of West Virginia. The state line went lengthwise of their porch. They lived a few miles apart, part of her "sitting out" was several negro slaves. They went to keeping house in Pennsylvania which was not a slave state so she could not keep them. Grandfather Jackson was born in Ireland, came to this country at 9 years of age and could weave. He followed weaving until he married Rachel Orr. They moved from Philadelphia where she was born and brought up, to Jefferson County, Ohio, about 6 miles from Wellsburg, Virginia. Their first home was a log cabin without glass for windows. Her father gave her a black mare. When the Indians come aroung the mare would put its head in the window opening and snort. One time Grandfather went on horseback to mill and was gone two or three days. An Indian came by and the mare snorted. The Indian only wanted something to eat. I guess it was a hard place to be alone."
