Jackson-Taylor and Related Families .GENEALOGY COLLECTION Gen, Alfred Eugene Jackson Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2019 https://archive.org/details/jacksontaylorrelOOshor JACKSON-TAYLOR Related Families By Aimee Jackson Short General Publishers — Dallas 17, Texas Copyright, 1960 by Aimee Jackson Short Printed in the United States of America 1184631 FOREWORD Following our ancestors through more than 300 years of America’s history has been an adventure. I have tried to bring you some of the highlights as well as the vital statistics of our several families. Every effort has been made to authenticate all material used here. For the Jackson and Henry Families I had a large collection of old letters, for other data I have searched through county, city and state records, through musty church files, crumbling stones in weed grown cemeteries, family Bibles and old newspapers. Printed records have been checked in historical and genealogical publications in the N.S.D.A.R., Virginia State, Lawson McGhee, Congressional, New Jersey and Philadel¬ phia Libraries. And in the Historical Societies of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Other records have been obtained from the Veteran’s Administration and answers to countless letters of inquiry. Research on some families was hampered by loss of old re¬ cords by fire or theft. Where data is prefaced by “it may be, probably,” et cetera there has not been sufficient documentation for a posi¬ tive statement of fact, although the material could be true. Brief charts accompany the chapters for easy reference. My sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted me, especially to Lucy S. Neill, Fannie Cox Carson, Dr. John M. Jackson, Lorena Deadrick Lyle, Elizabeth Burke Burdett, Pauline Prater Gibbs and Olga Pardee MacFarland. —Aimee Jackson Short To my father Alfred Nathaniel Jackson CONTENTS Samuel Dorsey Jackson.15 Gen.

Aug. 9, 1934 Ch: Henry F., Alfred Nathaniel Jr., Aimee, Eugene Deadrick SAMUEL DORSEY JACKSON The history of the Jackson Family in America is closely tied in with the history of the Country, for many lines can be traced back to early settlers whose lives were effected by the changing conditions of the new world, and who no doubt left their mark upon it. The first of our Jackson line in America was Philip who, with his wife Eliza-, came here, presumably from Ireland, though their original home is said to have been Carlisle, Eng¬ land. Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson is said to have been from this same family stock. Philip and Eliza settled first in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where Samuel Dorsey Jackson was born in 1755. Some time later they moved to North Carolina, for, according to their grandson, Alfred E. Jackson, they both died in Edenton. Little is known of Philip and Eliza. Besides Samuel Dor¬ sey they had at least one other child, a daughter who married Capt. Lee (or Leah) who was the captain of one of Samuel Dorsey's ships. Samuel Dorsey Jackson (1755-1886) was born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania and died at “Tempest Side," his farm on the Chucky River near Jonesboro, Tennessee, which had formerly (15) belonged to John Sevier. Buried on a hill top on the farm his monument reads: Samuel Jackson died May 2, 1836 aged 80 yrs 7 mos 6 Days An officer of the Rev. Between these dates he led an active and sometimes stormy life. Many years later he was portrayed by his son, Gen. Alfred E. Jackson, as, “tall and straight, a very decided man, excitable and passionate by nature.” We know nothing of his boyhood, but in the fall of 1775, when he was twenty years old he enlisted in the Continental Army. The Veteran’s Administration reports, “He was first stationed at Cumberland Courthouse, Va., as a first lieutenant, then marched to the south and served in Capt. Lane’s Company of Col. Stirk’s Georgia Regi¬ ment. He received a gunshot wound in the left hip in the battle of Ogeechee River, Georgia, and served until some¬ time in 1778 when he resigned at Savannah, Ga.” * * Two years later on April 20,1780, Samuel Dorsey married Elizabeth Catherine Woodrow in Philadelphia. Their marriage license indicates that he had been living in Baltimore. The records of the Second Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia have: “Samuel Jackson Elizabeth Woodrow (Baltimore and Northern Liberties)” *2 Elizabeth Catherine was the daughter of Henry and Sus¬ annah Woodrow and according to family tradition, “Mrs. Jackson was a brilliant, highly educated woman, noted for her * W.945 *2 See Northern Liberties under Woodrow (16) Elizabeth Catherine Woodrow Jackson beauty and gracious manner.” Her portrait which is still in the family would indicate this to be true. According to Selden Nelson in Prominent Tennesseans, Elizabeth Catherine was a close friend of Dolly Madison at the time she married her first husband, Mr. Todd. Elizabeth Catherine born Dec. 22, 1764 in Philadelphia died at “Tempest Side” where she is buried beside Samuel Dorsey and her mother, Susannah Woodrow. Her stone worn with age, reads simply, “Elizabeth C. Jackson Died Jan. 8, 1844 79 yrs & 16 Days ” Samuel D. and Elizabeth lived for twenty years in Phila¬ delphia, and raised a large family. Of eleven children born, seven reached maturity. All but two were born in Philadelphia. Samuel Dorsey Jackson was a successful merchant and importer. An associate in the latter business was the financeer Robert Morris. This association proved a disasterous one for Samuel. He also bought and sold a great deal of real estate in and around Philadelphia as indicated by the deeds recorded in the Courthouse in Philadelphia. According to the Philadelphia Census of 1790 the Jack- sons were living on Market St. (not the present Market for that was called “High St.”) “Jackson, Samuel, Market, North from the River Del. 1 male over 16, 1 under, 5 females.” It is interesting to note the way families were listed under the early census, as in this one of 1790. Males were grouped as adults, or minors, while females were bunched, the term applying to the mother, daughters of whatever age, and house¬ hold help. At this time Samuel had only one son living, three having died in infancy, two daughters and his wife Elizabeth Catherine. The other two females could have been her mother, Susannah, then a widow, and one maid servant, or two servants. (19) % The following year his business was listed as, Jackson, Samuel, 161 High St. (shopkeeper).” In 1797, Stafford s Directory gives the residence as Chestnut St., “Jackson, Samuel, Gentleman, 10 & Chestnut.” Also the same year, “Jackson & Morris, Merchants, Walnut St. Wharf.” The same year a “Jackson Court, n. side Sassafras St. between Front and 2nd.” is listed. Since Samuel owned property in that area, it was presumably named for him. Samuel and Elizabeth Catherine lived at the Chestnut Street address until they left Philadelphia and it was sold by Elizabeth Catherine many years later. This site, then, was “near” the city proper which extended only to eighth street_ now this location is in the heart of the business district of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Electric Company stands on the site. Samuel had a large wholesale mercantile business and was an importer owning his own ships. Baltimore and Phila¬ delphia being the trade center of the country then, merchants came long distances to buy for their own retail establishments. As money was scarce much credit for goods was in notes, with tracts of land as security, and the merchandise was hauled in wagons and on flat boats down rivers or small streams. Samuel lost a ship with a large cargo in the late 1790s (many ships were preyed upon by pirates at this time). This was a great blow to Samuel for it came at a time when he was having financial difficulties because of loans to Robert Mor¬ ris. So he decided to salvage what he could. He sold his busi¬ ness and moved to the South where he had liens on large tracts of land.

  • Westward Expansion, Preappointment Politics, and the Making of the Southern Slaveholding Supreme Court
    Studies in American Political Development, 24 (April 2010), 90–120. ISSN 0898-588X/10 doi:10.1017/S0898588X09990101 # Cambridge University Press, 2010 Westward Expansion, Preappointment Politics, and the Making of the Southern Slaveholding Supreme Court Justin Crowe, Williams College In this article, I trace the historical lineage and dynamic processes leading to the creation of the Southern slavehold- ing Supreme Court of antebellum America. Supported by case studies of several Jeffersonian and Jacksonian era legislative battles over judicial reform, I argue that the complex, multistage creation of the Southern slaveholding Court—the Court that decided cases such as Prigg v. Pennsylvania, Dred Scott v. Sandford, and Ableman v. Booth—was the inadvertent result of certain institutional strictures concerning the size of the Court and the geo- graphic organization of the federal circuit system. In so doing, I illustrate how the creation of a fundamentally Jacksonian but also disproportionately Southern and undeniably slaveholding Court was not simply about who was appointed but about the structures that determined who might be appointed, who could be appointed, and who should be appointed. It was these considerations, in turn, that shaped not only the makeup and com- position of the Court during this tumultuous period of American political development but also the very character of the momentous decisions it was likely to make. It is an axiom of judicial politics that the membership generally that there is no shortage of either scholarly
