The following notes by Linda Garner: "Confederate Military Records show that Jesse L. Jackson enlisted as Pvt. 9 May 1862, at Dublin, Alabama, Co., D, 3rd. Battalion, Hilliard's Legion. Hilliard's Legion was dissolved 25 November 1863 and parts of the First and Third were consolidated and formed the 60th. AL, under Col. J.W.A. Sanford. Jesse was a farmer, living in Oak Grove, Alabama, age 27, married. Jesse was wounded severely in the right hand 16 July 1864 in the trenches near Petersburg, Virginia, causing the loss of the middle fingers.

"Report of Lt. Col. John W.A. Sanford, Third Battalion, Hilliard's (AL) Legion in the field, near Chattanooga, 26 September 1863. On the 19th, a line of battle was formed on the banks of Chicamauga Creek. They began to advance on the 20th., with 211 enlisted men and 18 officers, 229 in all. Of this number 4 were killed and 42 wounded. The conduct of the officers and men during the battle cannot be to highly commended. All did their duty so well that it is difficult to mention one as particularly distinguished wihtout being unjust to others. Among the enlisted men, Jesse L. Jackson of Co. D, acted with notable courage. Jesse was paroled in Montgomery Co., AL, 1 June 1865.

"Jesse and Martha resided in Montgomery Co., Alabama until 1867, when he and brother John Kirby removed to Lafayette Co., Florida. Martha Jane died 1875, Mayo, Lafayette Co., FL. Jesse died 8 January 1885. Both are buried in Maypop Cemetery, Lafayette Co., FL."
